About this collection
Our seminars are immersive experiences that bridge the gap between intellectual study and lived spiritual practice. Held primarily at our heritage auditorium in Sanjaynagar, these sessions combine scholarly talks with traditional arts, allowing you to engage with the 'Who am I?' self-enquiry in a dynamic, resonant environment.
At the Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning, we believe that spiritual wisdom is best absorbed through a combination of silent contemplation and active engagement. Our national seminars serve as a confluence for seekers to delve deep into the life and philosophy of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. We host these sessions in both English and Kannada to ensure accessibility for our local community.
Each seminar is carefully structured to include:
- Pravachanams (Discourses): Insights from eminent scholars and spiritual teachers who interpret classical texts and Ramana's teachings.
- Cultural Integration: We intersperse talks with Carnatic music (Ramananjali) and Bharatanatyam, viewing these arts as forms of 'Nadopasana' or worship through sound and movement.
- Collaborative Learning: Our programs often feature mega theatre productions and student-led presentations, showcasing the youth's engagement with these timeless values.
Whether you are attending a memorial lecture at our Mekhri Circle shrine or a multi-day national seminar at the Heritage Auditorium, you will find a dedicated space to sit with the questions that matter most. We invite you to join us not just as an observer, but as a participant in this ongoing journey of self-discovery.
