This happened on July 17, 1896, at Madurai. About six weeks later he journeyed to Tiruvannamalai in obedience to ‘His Father’s Command’, the Command of Arunachala – Siva. His advent at Arunachala was on September 7, 1896. For the next fifty-four years till his Mahanirvana on April 14, 1950, He remained at this one place, as The Sadguru Guiding seekers on the Path of self-Knowledge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is no Parallel to this or for the retention of the body for such a long period after enlightenment, for the welfare of the world. As the timeless guru ‘Shining within, without, and everywhere’, there can be no end to his guidance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe simple and direct teachings of Ramana, which are covered in this Book, and which open the flood-gates of joy are perhaps important reasons for Ramana's timelessness. Truth has been made so easily accessible, so unbelievably close, so experientially possible for each and every one that the fascination of Ramana's teachings is irresistible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose who are familiar with his auspicious and sweet life regard him as an ideal held out before mankind. For he combined in himself the vast Peace of the silent mind while being at the same time the repository of all power as well. His Love was universal. He was a \"Purushottama, a man among men\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the past several decades we have acquired vast, varied and authentic material about Ramana. These were not available or could not be used by earlier biographers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is now nearly seventy years since the first biography was written. There is need for new insights and perspectives as there is a growing awareness of the power of Ramana's presence. One is able to relate more directly to him. Readers in the new millineum need to savour and enjoy the sweetness of the fresh discoveries and new material which has sunfolded since then.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRamana's beauty beggars all descriptions. To highlight this more than one hundred illustrations have been included to enhance the artistic beauty of the presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSection I : WHO ARE YOU RAMANA? :\u003cbr\u003e1.
