Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning

About

Everything here revolves around Bhagavan Ramana’s path - simple, direct, and honestly, not always easy. The main thing? Asking “Who am I?” and deeply sitting with that. We don’t just talk about it, we live it, together. In Kannada, we say “naanu yaaru antha aalochane maadodu” (thinking about who am I). That’s the heart of it.

What Happens at Our Events

Our centres at Mekhri Circle and Sanjaynagar become alive with music, dance, and spiritual practice. Sadhana isn’t just silent meditation - it’s also laughter, art, and being with others on the same search. You’ll find:

• Ramana Satsang Bengaluru every Sunday - prayer, chanting, bhajans, and stories about Ramana’s life.
• Full moon spiritual celebrations (Pournami) - Ramana Bhajans, pujas, circumambulation, and sometimes a bit of magic with classical dance or music, ending with prasadam.
• Annual festivals like Maha Sivaratri (music, dance, theatre all night), Ramana Jayanthi, and big national gatherings with scholars and dance-dramas.

The Arts: Not Just for Show

Here, dance and music are worship. Expect Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Carnatic music, and theatre - sometimes by kids, sometimes by big names, always with heart.

Open to All

Anyone can walk in, no matter where you’re from. Most events are free. If you want to join Annadaana or a special ritual, there’s a way, but honestly, just being here is enough for most.
