Ramana Mandhiram, Madurai
Ramana Mandhiram is located
at Chokkappa Naicken Street exactly opposite to the South Chithirai street
entrance, after about 10 houses from the entrance. Ramana maharishi was born in
Thiruchuzhi, about 55 Kms from Madurai but he moved to his uncle’s house here
after his father’s death. This is the place where he got the famous “death (self-realization)
experience” for 20 minutes.
The
building is clearly marked. It is near the south gate of the Temple. There are
several places for meditation in this house. There is a big room downstairs
where it looks like most people stop and sit and meditate. Upstairs, though, is
the actual room of Ramana’s famous 20-minute ‘death experience.’
Ramana Mandhiram is located at
about 100 meters from Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple, 1 Km from Periyar Bus
Stand, 7 Kms from Mattuthavani Integrated Bus Terminus, 2 Kms from Madurai
Railway Junction and 11 Kms from Madurai International Airport. It is very easy
to reach the temple as it is situated very near to both the bus stand and the
railway station.
