Grand celebration of Ramana Jayanti at Ramanasramam

Ramana Jayanti (birthday) was celebrated on the 1st of January this year (2010). Its a great treat for Ramana Devotees to be part of the celebrations. This time the crowd was even more because of the pournami (Full moon day) falling on the same day and there are thousands of devotees who do the girivalam (going round the Arunachala Hill) also visit Ramanasramam.

Its wonderful for a devotee to be present at Ramanasramam and enjoy the vibrations of the special day. There are several pujas, grand alankaram (decoration) of the shiva lingam, free meals served for whoever visits the Ashram and so on.

Shown below are some moments captured -
