Eventually, an ashram ( Sri Ramanasramam ) developed around him where he spent the rest of his life – guiding seekers from around the world in self realization. Subsequent to this experience, Ramana ended up going to Mount Arunachala (Tiruvannamalai) and initially lived in silence for many years. In his own recounting of this experience : “Enquiring within ‘Who is the seer?’ I saw the seer disappear leaving That alone which stands forever. In effect, he spontaneously initiated a self inquiry resulting in an abiding awakening. Even though fear overtook him, but instead of panic, he decided to investigate death: This awakening was in the form of a “death experience,” triggered by the thought that he was going to die. All that is necessary is to get rid of the thought “I have not realized.” ~Ramana Maharshiīorn Venkataraman Iyer, Ramana is probably the most well known sage of 20th century India – who had a spontaneous awakening at 16, in his home in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
