This was from going to satsang at SAT (Society of Abidance in Truth), in Santa Cruz, CA and listening to Nome. These teachings went deep and into my heart. After years of practice, I came to Tiruvannamalai with a group traveling with Nome four years ago. I found with meditating in the early morning with Arunachala the same kind of peace I found meditating with Nome. Retirement was getting near. I felt that retirement in Tiruvannamalai where I could live with Arunachala and Sri Ramana was the right thing to do. And it has been. The peace of Arunachala pervades our lives. Om Arunachala, Richard Dear Nidhana,

I found Sri Ramana while living in the USA in 1990. This was from going to satsang at SAT (Society of Abidance in Truth), in Santa Cruz, CA and listening to Nome. These teachings went deep and into my heart.

After years of practice, I came to Tiruvannamalai with a group traveling with Nome four years ago. I found with meditating in the early morning with Arunachala the same kind of peace I found meditating with Nome.

Retirement was getting near. I felt that retirement in Tiruvannamalai where I could live with Arunachala and Sri Ramana was the right thing to do.

And it has been.

The peace of Arunachala pervades our lives.

Om Arunachala,
Richard

I came to your blog via the "Arunachala Grace" blog.... Nice to know that you've chosen Tiruvannamalai as your new home. May your stay here in India be of much peace to the body and soul. Congrats on taking a monumental decision to follow the ways of your heart. Having said that...may I please ask why Westerners are more interested in Sri Ramana Rishi more than the Lord Arunachala? The point here being, Sri Ramana himself was a devotee of the Lord Arunachaleshwarar. Your inputs will be appreciated...this is not to offend you but to satiate the deep curiosity that I have for years! Thanks! N Dear Richard,
