Dr. Venkat S. Ramanan, President, Sri Ramana ashram, gave an invited talk on the contribution of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi to National awakening and to India's spiritual heritage.
This event was held in New Delhi on 4 August 2023. at the Prime Minister’s Museum and library ( PMML ) - Teen Murti House, New Delhi.
In the talk, he said
" I have 2 parts to my address today: 1) Ramana Maharshi and the National Awakening and 2) the Contribution of Bhagavan to India’s spiritual legacy and heritage Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychoanalyst said: Sri Ramana is a true son of the Indian earth. In India, he is the whitest spot in a white space. What we find in the life and teachings of Sri Ramana is the purest of India; it is a chant of millenniums ... The life and teachings of Sri Ramana are not only important for the Indian but also for the Westerner.” Sri Ramana Maharshi was indeed a sage without the least touch of worldliness, a saint of matchless purity, a witness to the eternal truth of Vedanta. It is not often that a spiritual genius of the magnitude of Sri Ramana visits this earth. But when such an event occurs, the entire humanity gets benefited and a new era of hope opens before it."
He then explained in detail about the teachings of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi and its implications in the individual life as well as to the growth of the nation's spiritual heritage.
He concluded the talk saying
"This is the era of AI. All conversation revolves around AI. In the same vein, I will conclude with an AI reference! The topic of today’s talk is Contribution of Ramana Maharshi to National Awakening and to India’s Spiritual Heritage. “Arunachala and India” (AI) summarizes His contribution to the nation awakening, nation building. - the spiritual movement that began by HIS coming to Arunachala in India. Atmagyan and pure I-consciousness (AI) summarize His contribution to India’s spiritual heritage. May we all strive towards this AI - attaining Atma-gyan and pure ‘I’- universal consciousness by shedding our limited egos is my prayer today Thank you for your attention."
