The Inner Path of Arunachala is a place of silent beauty and deep peace.
Arunachala and the Inner Path are shown in great detail in this blog. This includes detailed descriptions and photo essays for each section of the Inner Path, as well as nearby places that are rarely visited. Maps developed for this blog are also presented to assist readers who want to visit these special places of Arunachala.
The map below shows the six ‘sections’ of the Inner Path that are used below for the postings.
Bring at least one litre of water per person (two if walking when it is hot).
Shoes are best for most people.
Ramana said, when asked, “I already wear one set of dead leather (meaning the body). What does another matter?”
The path is rough on most feet. If your feet hurt you will not pay much attention to Arunachala.
Quiet walking is best.
Take the time to notice Arunachala. It changes as you walk around it.

Dear Richard,
Thank you ever so much for your blog, and especially for Inner inner path report. I like the Hill so much! And during the last days of my stay in Tiru I had the opportunity to use this new rout. The energy is so fresh! It’s a great pleasure to use it, to have it now.
Yours in Bhagavan,
Mila
