Arunachala Ashtakam – Verse 1
Eight Verses on Arunachala
By Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
Verse 1.
Ah! What a wonder! It stands as an Insentient Hill made of rocks and stones. But its actions filled with Grace are mysterious, that no one can understand, past human understanding.
From the age of innocence as a child, it had shone within my mind that Arunachala was something of surpassing grandeur beyond everything.
But even when I came to know through another person that it was the same as Tiruvannamalai, I did not realize its real meaning.
When it lured me and drew me up to it, stilling my mind, and I came close to it, I saw this Arunachala standing unmoving in the form of a hill.
