ABSTRACT
I use part of the time when Maharshi is absent from the temple hall to visit holy places in the vicinity. My first is to the sacred hill, Arunachala, which rises high above the Ashram, as if pointing to heaven with its sharp peak. I go to all the caves where the Sage dwelt in his youth. One of the most famous is called ‘Virupaksha’ cave. Here the young Swami Ramana spent many years in meditation and ascetic discipline. It is said that in ancient times a great Yogi was buried there.
