The Eternal Light - Story of Sri Ramana Maharishi



The "Eternal Light" is a new 58 minute video chronicling the life of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi from His birth in 1879 to His mahasamadhi in April 1950.
In addition to new video and photographs, this film contains high-quality footage from the film archive and many rare photographs of Bhagavan and the early ashram.
Created in 2003, this is the first video produced entirely by Sri Ramanasramam in Tiruvannamalai, India.
Both devotees and those for whom this is the first introduction to Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi will not be disappointed by this simple but moving story of one of the greatest sages mankind has ever known.
Reproduced by the Society of Abidance in Truth with the kind permission of Sri Ramanasramam.

Review by Muthu Ramakrishnan on Amazon.com
I had opportunity to see this wonderful movie in big screen (a Ramana devotee projected this film on the tall walls of the SAT temple). I felt like I was at Sri Ramanasramam and feeling of devotion welled up within. All the attendees were moved by the film.

I requested a friend, Bob Haber, who liked the film very much to say few words so that I can add to the review. He wrote the following:
"The Eternal Light provides so beautiful a presentation of the life of Sri Ramana Maharshi. It is so intimate a view into the course of Bhagavan's life via its wonderful photography, narration, and background music, and also into the devoted lives of those who loved him, even as the film thus beautifully reflects the scaredness of India and its people. What a blessing it is for so many to now have the opportunity to see all of this live footage of the Maharshi, of where he lived, and of those blessed ones who lived with him!. Thank you!"
