Annamalaiyar Temple – Sri Anantha Niketan
Devotees of Ramana Maharishi started Sri Anantha Niketan
in 1999. Starting with a few simple thatched cottages the Ashram has now grown
into a retreat center. Sri Anantha Niketan was blessed by the gracious visit of
the living Jnani Sri John de Ruiter in January 2014.
Sri Anantha Niketan is supported by people from
nearby village, some full time workers, and others are young volunteers and to
all of them this is their second home.
