Ramana Maharshi

Japanese: ラマナ・マハルシ(英語表記)Ramaṇa Maharṣi
Ramana Maharshi
1879‐1950
A modern Indian mystic. Born into a middle-class Brahmin family near Madurai in South India, he was the second son of a lawyer and had a very ordinary childhood. However, at the age of 17, he suddenly underwent a radical experience and retired to the foot of Mount Arunachala ("Red Mountain"; Tiruvannamalai in Tamil), never to leave the area for the next 50 years. He was a very influential person, and many people visited him from both inside and outside the country. Most of his works are poems in Tamil, but they also include some short pieces in Tamil prose and Tamil translations of works attributed to Shankara.
