The Aradhana of Swami Ramanananda
The aradhana of Swami Ramanananda was held in a grand fashion 29 December 2023 at his samadhi that lies opposite the Mother’s shrine.
Swami Ramanananda, formerly known as Sri T.N. Venkatraman, peacefully passed away on the evening of Wednesday, December 26th, 2007. Instrumental in the ongoing development of Ramana Ashram, he assumed the role of Ashram President in 1953, succeeding his father, Chinnaswami. Swami Ramanananda continued in this position until he embraced sannyasa in 1994, subsequently retiring from his responsibilities at the Ashram.
At Skandasramam lived a monkey named Nondi, which was the pet of all. Maharshi had ordered that whatever food was served to his followers should also be served to the monkey, and in case it was absent elsewhere, then its share should be kept separate for its return. In such a case, the food would be kept near a window inside the cave, and the shutter closed but not bolted. This was the custom
