five hymns to sri arunachala

This small booklet contains the Five Hymns to Arunachala composed by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi during his time spent living on Arunachala. Three of the hymns, Arunachala Aksharamanamalai, Arunachala Navamanimalai, and Arunachala Pancharatnam were created at the request of the devotees and the remaining two, Arunachala Patikam and Arunachala Ashtakam welled up spontaneously from within. However all five hymns flowed without premeditation or contemplation. The Five Hymns comprise the Tamil Parayana chanted in front of Sri Bhagavan’s shrine every Monday evening at Sri Ramanasramam and are a firm favorite of every devotee.
