Got the news that Swami Ramanananda was absorbed in Arunachala last night.
Known as Sri TN Venkatraman in his poorvashrama, he was a pure expression of the energy of goodness, and has been one of the key instruments in the service of Sri Ramanashramam. He was in his 90s, and took sanyasa some years ago.
Among countless others, I too have been a recipient of his spontaneous affection and blessings. I will always cherish memories of his wholesome greeting “Arunachala!”, his smiling and radiant face.
He was the nephew of the sage of Arunachala, Sri Ramana Maharshi.

I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE HIS DHARSHAN ON MANY OCCASIONS.
THE PRSENT GROWTH OF SRIRAMANASRAMAM IS DUE TO HIS DEVOTED AND UNTIRING EFFORTS.
HE WAS ALWAYS A SMILING AND UNTIRING PERSON.
SRI RAMANA NOW CHOSE TO ABSORB HIM TO GIVE REST TO HIS BODY.
NO DOUBT WE WILL BE MISSING HIM IN PERSON; BUT HE CONTINUES TO INSPIRE US.
WITH PRANAMS.
