This is the story of Sri Annamalai Swami, disciple of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of the greatest and most widely- respected Gurus that India has ever produced. His powerful presence, his radical teaching of self-inquiry and his exemplary life are even today still attracting new followers. Annamalai Swami was a direct disciple who moved closely with him over a period of many years. This is his story. It is an inspiring and moving account of what it was like to live and work in the close presence of Sri Ramana. This is a classic Guru-disciple encounter, an arduous spiritual journey which highlights the grace of the Guru and the activities of the community that surrounds him. Annamalai Swami himself became enlightened by the grace of his Guru and had scores of devotees of his own. For over 50 years he never left his small ashram compound next door to Sri Ramanasramam, the ashram of his beloved Guru, where he attained Mahasamadhi on November 9, 1995. Also published by Sri Satguru Annamalai Swamigal Spiritual Trust are Final Talks and Nectar Drops both by Sri Annamalai Swami and available on the kindle store.
