The 58th anniversary of the Brahma Nirvana of Sri Bhagavan was celebrated at the Ashram in the usual elaborate manner on May 3.

The after-dinner concert of Ramana Music in Classical Carnatic style by Smt. Ambika Kameshwar was the notable event of the previous day. Her performance was very impressive.

The proceedings on Aradhana Day commenced in the early hours with the recitation of Arunachala Stuti Panchakam and Ulladu Narpadu of Sri Bhagavan. This was followed by chanting of Ramana Chatvarimsat and the first puja (during which milk is offered to Sri Bhagavan). Devotees were treated to breakfast.

After Ekadasa Rudra Mahanyasa, abhishekam was done to Sri Ramaneswara Mahalingam. Simultaneously Mahanarayana Upanishad was chanted. Special puja was performed, followed by harati, the finale around eleven. Devotees were treated to lunch thereafter.

The following books were released on Aradhana Day.
