October 2 - 18, 2025
THE CALL OF ARUNACHALA
A Pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain in South India
A Pilgrimage to the Heart of the World
THE INVITATION
Ocean of nectar, full of Grace,
Engulfing the universe in Thy Splendor!
O Arunachala, the Supreme itself! Be Thou the Sun
And open the lotus of my heart in bliss!
~Sri Ramana Maharshi
This is a heart-to-heart invitation for you who long to come and be in the presence of the Heart, Arunachala, the holy mountain, where Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of the greatest spiritual masters of India, spent almost his whole life.
Sri Ramana Maharshi, out of deep love for Arunachala, was called to live at the feet of the sacred mountain, which he considers to be the Guru. An ashram was built around him and is nowadays open to all, to sit in Presence.
We welcome you to a safe and conducive nest where you’ll be embedded in the grace of Arunachala, offering a supportive and caring environment to rest and absorb what it truly means to be at the feet of Arunachala in its fullness.
The program is designed to take you to the core of what is being shared here, welcoming you to simply and naturally rest in the beauty and Stillness of Being.
You’ll have the opportunity to infuse yourself with numerous blessings: sitting in satsang with living masters, visiting temples and caves, girivalam or “pilgrimage around the mountain,” and, of course, spending time in Sri Ramana Maharshi’s ashram.
You’ll also be supported on this journey by immersing yourself in the life and teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi in depth, starting with a 5-day silent retreat. Sacred chantings and the practice of kirtan, or the “call-response practice of mantras,” will be incorporated as an essential thread for our time together. This will include singing daily to Arunachala, spending days in noble silence, practicing meditation, engaging in Hatha Yoga, receiving Ayurvedic massage, and much more.
Accommodation will be available in single, double, and triple rooms, depending on availability. Please, check out our beautiful home/venue.
All are very welcome.
In deep love,
Daniela Cruz and Ricardo Marticorena
