As part of Syntagma’s Meta- series, we’ll be launching Arunachala News in September.

This is a new website providing on-the-spot coverage of life on India’s most mystical mountain : Arunachala. It will be authored by Meenakshi Mammi, who writes a newsletter from this sacred spot made famous worldwide by the presence of Ramana Maharshi in the first half of the 20th century.

Ramana’s method was quite simple:

“As all living beings desire to be happy always, without misery, as in the case of everyone there is observed supreme love for one’s self, and as happiness alone is the cause for love, in order to gain that happiness which is one’s nature and which is experienced in the state of deep sleep where there is no mind, one should know one’s self. For that, the path of knowledge, the inquiry of the form “Who am I?”, is the principal means.”
