Fwd: [Iyer123] Sri Ramana Jayanthi - 25-12-07

[Guest guest]

Sai Ram. Sri Guru Datta. Felt inspired to share this

post from soul-brother Seetharam. Thanks to him. Sri

Ramana was one of the best known advaitins

(non-dualists) of the last century and is much more

accessible to sadhakas. And His eyes are so beautiful

and full of grace. Sai Ram.
