| V. Sundaram Ramana |
V. Sundaram Ramanan,
the president of Sri Ramanasramam in Tiruvannamalai, passed away on Tuesday,
July 21. He was 86 years old.
Mr. Ramanan, who
took over the president’s post in 1994, was one of the longest serving
presidents of Sri Ramanasramam. He held the postion for nearly 26 years until
he handed over management of the Ashram to his son Venkat Ramanan on June 17 of
this year.
Dr. Venkat Ramanan
was a medical practitioner in the U.S. before he returned to Tiruvannamalai to
take over as president of the Ashram. He was the grand nephew of Bhagavan Sri
Ramana Maharshi and spent years of his childhood with his siblings, at the feet
of Sri Ramana Maharshi. He brought out the book titled Who Am I, Bhagavan Sri Ramana
Maharishi, 1879-1950, in March
2020, which provides unique glimpses
into life with Sri Ramana Maharshi.
V. Sundaram Ramanan passed
away due to age-related conditions and his last rites were performed in the
asramam in Tiruvannamalai with devotees reciting Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi’s
Aksharamanamalai.
