Aruna of the Golden Fire/Sri Ramana's Lingam of Wisdom and Light

Arunachala is an immortal light.A column of fire that existed before time began,the light shone in order that all those lost in worldly forgetfulness might remember their true home.Arunachala is a lingam-a sign or symbol of the divine-and by tradition is considered to be Lord Siva Himself.But as an icon to the underlying presence,the original light of consciousness that undergrids and illumines the reality,Arunachala is the paradigmatic symbol of the Self,the fire of wisdom that promises to burn away the veils of illusion and ignorance. The present edition blends images of the Holy Hill,Guru Ramana,Arunachala Temple and Sri Ramanasramam,with the sayings of the saints and scriptures including Bhagawan's own verses written in praise of the mountain.In essence the book probes the question,What is Arunachal if not one's own self?This is Bhagawan's teaching to pay homage to one of the facets of Holy Aruna Hill is verily to venerate Sri Ramana's own truest form
