my wife and I climbed this mountain barefoot and spent the night there meditating. walking off the mountain with no shoes is difficult, the rocks become very hot in the sun. But we were called and felt it was important to do. it has meaning for me now for the rest of my life.
@@Shorts_Analyst ...yeah well in India there's a lot of things you're not "allowed" to do, but people do them anyway. You're not allowed to ride your motorbike up on the wrong side of the road, but they do it anyway whenever they want. It's true that in recent years you are not allowed to climb Arunachala, but you can just do it anyway. I'm sitting here writing this with a view of Arunachala and I climb the hill whenever I want. You can also pay various guys to act as your guide also. Also, I fully believe the original poster when he says him and his wide climbed the hill barefoot, though it's not something I would be game enough to do. It would be pretty cool to spend the night up there too. Many Indian people do Pradaksnina (walking around the hill) barefoot and some of these days get pretty hot, all the more so on the bitumen. I've seen many of them over the years climbing Arunachala barefoot also. These Kiwi feet are not tough enough for that but good on anyone who does it.
Also, even from a secular point of view, Arunachala is special, as it is said to be geologically the oldest mountain, or among the oldest, in the world, at around 3 billion years (compared to the Himalayas at well under 100 million years). A little story here on Arunachala: The powerful attraction of that place was proved to me personally before I ever knew of its glorious reputation (or its Ramana connection). In the late 1970s, in Joseph Campbell’s The Mythic Image, on page 92, I saw a photo of the temple at Tiruvannamali which impressed me greatly. In the late 1980s, a friend visiting me in Bangkok brought me the book "Ways to Shiva: life and ritual in Hindu India". On page 54 was a photo of the same temple, obviously taken from nearly the same spot on a hill behind the temple complex. I wanted to BE there so bad, that my first trip to India (in 1993) was planned around going to the December music festival in Madras, and then working my way to several of those Chola-era temples in Tamil Nadu, with the intention of going to that particular town and climbing up to the exact spot those two photos were taken from (all the while thinking more of the view I wanted to see, than of the hill itself). Traveling solo, on the Mahabalipuram-Tiruvannamalai bus, I happened to catch my first brief glimpse of that mountain behind the temple, straight ahead, still 10 or 15 miles in the distance. An incredible thrill ran through my body. I mean like a whole-body euphoria. Totally unexpected and unexplained. I kept looking for it again each time the bus rounded a corner in that somewhat forested area. So really, that’s the whole story, right there. Later on that day I left my hotel and hiked up the hill to that spot (getting the view I had been looking forward to), and then walking further up along the trail I stopped and sat out on a rock outcropping overlooking the town, and experienced very clearly the total completion of My Search, My Personal Story. Everything was perfectly resolved in timelessness. Nothing left to do. You could say that I had made it, finally, to that place I always wanted to be, the place even that I had come from. I never did visit “the Ashram”, which I later learned was just a short ways further, over the saddle. In the following weeks I started reading and appreciating Ramana Maharshi, and from books learned what I had already found out myself about the mountain: wonderfully and mysteriously attractive.
Amazing! So beautiful! The impression left on your heart from two pictures in a book! What a fulfillment that life brought you to the mountain! Thank you for sharing. Could it be that that mountain is within⁉️🌄
Wow you are so lucky, in Hinduism we believe that you require god’s blessings to even be able to visit a temple. For major temples like thiruvanamalai, Thirupati etc, people set intention to visit the temple and pray to the god. Sometimes we find that, no matter how much we try, we may not be able to visit a particular temple at the time we intended. The plans keep falling apart. And when god wills, even with not plans, one might find oneself in a temple. You are so lucky, Annamalaiyar had called you from so far apart.
I have a similar experience. The teachings of Ramana impacted me so deeply that I put it on my bucket list to visit there. Years later I arrived and sat in silence at the Samadhi of Sri Ramana. Immediately I entered into a state of trance knowing that I had waited an eternity for this moment. Human language is limited. No words can describe the experience I went through. The best way I can describe to others is this place is a portal to the dimension of Eternal Consciousness or Brahman.
I'm 72, but my Heart wishes to visit Arunachala and Ramana Ashram. I sing the song Arunachala Shiva as we are all connected by the substratum of Life. It's Love brings tears of joy. ❤❤❤ God bless you Jason and the teachings you share. ❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
I've never had a passport but I'm going to apply for one. I was severely epileptic up until about 7 years ago and so I never had any intention of traveling because of that, now that issue is completely resolved and I have no fear of it because it's gone for so many years so I'm going to apply for a passport when I get some extra money. Not sure where I want to go but it's got to be some place like this so I can cultivate. "The Jj"
Thank you !!!🌸🙏. Thank you for sharing with us, I am thousands of miles away from Arunachala but …… perception of time and space is relative, and connecting with the energy that is so present there …….is possible. Om namo Shiva ya ❣️🙏❣️
❤ Namaste 🙏 Jason. Have always been fascinated by the story of Arunachala ever since I read the booklet ‘Who am I’ , and specially after seeing the documentary ‘Jnani, The Silent Sage of Arunachala’ a few years ago. Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
Wow, I am going tomorrow to Arunachala. Thanks to You Jason. My Aunt always went here, she took me once in 2012, but I was just 19. But now I feel ready, your Video Final Truth made inspired me to face this Spiritual Journey which was always very anxiety driven for me. One day we will meet Jason. I am adapting your name as my stage name for my love of the Filmmaking and Acting.
Thank you Jason true son of Arunachala. Arunachala no doubt is a spritual center people come there will definitely feel his presence as i have. Thank you for the video. ஓம் நம சிவாய 🙏💐🙏💐🙏💐
When i see for the first time avideo of Arunachala my eyes start crying crying whitout sadness i cant descrive what i fell and i wasnt in the local, so i undrstandwhat Jason says Shanti Shanti Shanti Jason
OM Arunachala OM The years are ticking by. Don’t know if I will ever see that Mountain. But, just hearing about it is so powerful, holding your heart with a sweet stillness like no other❣️❣️❣️❤️🔥☮️ Thank you Jason for sharing this with us 😂
I was born and raised in this town and never payed much attention to the details behaving the history of the mountain . You did a great explanation of the mountain and the great history behind it. Soon I will be having a tattoo of the mountain.
Ja es ist wahr, die ist ein wundervoller, sehr heiliger und heilen der Ort ich habe Benares,, Putthaparti, Puri Goa oft besucht. Die Kraft der Stille, Ramana Präsenz sind sehr intensiv herzerwärmend, das umrunden und das begehen des Berges, sowie die Pujas des Tiruvanamai Tempel sind kaum zu beschreiben. Alexander🙏❤️🐘

So cool! Yes, mountains and rock formations most definitely have energy. They are both grounding and inspiring at the same time. I’d love to see/feel Arnuachala but will do so vicariously with the cliffs and river in my own back yard. Thank you dear Jason. 👍☯
But is Arunachala an ordinary mountain? It is far greater even than Kailash, Kashi and Kedarnath. It is the Self - the sole Reality and source of Bliss
Tiruvannamalai Ramana Ashram Arunachala is a special place that I recommend for India's dharma circuit, along with Dharamsala, Rishikesh, Boydgaya -- although it's a place where what you get out of it is kinda up to you. If you visit off season someone might well find Tiru underwhelming, hot, and dusty.
This is a really great presentation of history, religion, and mythology all together. And your earnestness shines through in it. This is actually inspiring me to take a closer look at a site venerated by the Comanche as a Sacred Mountain here in Texas.
Thank you for this🙏🏻 where to stay when you go? I’ve never been to India but am deeply close to Anandamayi Ma and Ramana and would love to plan a trip here
Fascinating, thanks for sharing Jason. Could you explain the meanings of the trident amd drums please? I've been seeing the fleur de lis and lilies alot lately, and was wondering how the symbolism connects. 🏞️🔱🥁⚜️💕😊👋

the image/idol used for shiva is the lingam(phallus). But it is not considered sexual in anyway. Calling it a phallus would offend modern day Hindus. Hinduism, is over 4000 years old and has many rich traditions. Things like tantric sex are practiced for spiritual purposes(not a part of mainstream Hinduism), not for pleasure. The exact representation is a phallus in a vagina (the base of the lingam idol). But the exact reason for this representation is not known. Shiva is not given a human form, you would find the lingam in all temples. To modern Hindus, the lingam is idol of shiva and not a phallus. They see it as an object in itself. Calling it a phallic symbol would seriously offend modern day conservative hindus.
Jason. With all things you learnt in years. If you didn't realize that the religion called Hinduism, or Santana Dharma is in fact is a brahminic religion and Varna practices. Saivism, Vaishnavism, shaktham, ganapathyam, kaumaaram etc are all individual religions should not be brought under the unbrella in the name of Hinduism, making them sub sect to Brahminism. Call a spade a spade.
I can accept that two thousand years ago people would worship a mountain because they did not know better but amazes me that this keeps on going today. You can assign magical power to any object, if you get people to believe it then you get a religion. Monks are overrated. For thousands of years, we have had people that dedicated their life to meditate, become enlightened, serve a higher purpose, reach Nirvana, become one with the universe, etc. Only a few of them contributed to the betterment of society by contributing to the advancement of the sciences. Monks, have just been able to slow their heart rate, relax, meditate, have mental trip, and disengage from society. If all of us were to become monks, society would collapse. Being a monk is not a positive contribution to society, they are a drain and elevating then to high status is a disservice to a functioning society. There are positives in learning/practicing mindfulness and meditation but dedicating a life to is a waste. We need less monks and more thinkers and doers.
We think we are doers then that has to be the most foolish thing in the world. if we are the doers we would have solved all the mysteries in the universe and be eternal without being subject to birth and death and cause an effect. God is the doer residing in the inner most core of all beings as consciousness and we are just an object. If we don’t accept that we are just gonna keep suffering and keep lying to ourselves chasing a man made God in the sky. God is not some grumpy old man sitting in the sky torturing people and send them to heaven/hell. what kind of God is that? Monks are the ones who reveal the sacred truth that God is within and what we seek is seeking us and offences to them and disrespect to them will only result in further suffering
....I would tend to agree with most of what you write and especially that things are however we imagine them to be, in the same way you have your own system of imagined beliefs you have here expressed. Just that, having traveled the planet extensively over many years there are without question certain places that seemingly defy any normal reason and logic. Arunachala is without question one of those places. I am neither a monk nor a religious person but would suggest that somehow this is one of those rare places where an endless number of people were 'called' to visit, most of whom never knew the place existed prior to that momentary calling. I don't really care either way, I have my own reasons for having returned here often and my own experiences, people are free to believe and do whatever they want.
yeah, you really have no idea what you are talking about. Doers and thinkers of what? Progressing to what? You think just by thinking and doing people will stumble to "betterment of society"? Also, who are you to judge how to spend their life, would you rather they become crime gang members and religious zealots? Your kind of BS thinking and doing is what leads to self destruction and global issues. Thinkers and doers like Napoléon, Genghis Khan, Hitler?
"If all of us were to become monks, society would collapse." - yes, it would in the traditional sense. But there would be true appreciation and love for each other, actions would become selfless and everyday would become a joy as it is no longer about personal egos or attainment. I get what you are saying, there are innumerable false god men exploiting people. I am not referring to them but people who have truly realised and have guided humanity. They lived exemplary lives and have guided humanity. Not all who have realised are monks either. King Janaka was a sage king. He was the epitome of how a king should be.

Ramana said that many sages are entombed within the caves of this mountain, contributing to it's spiritual power.
I like your style. It helps me see better in a very easy going way. I watch a lot of your teachings and enjoy the conversations with your friend.

There is also a sacred mountain near San Diego, it's called Tecate peak and is sacred to the Kumeyaay people. 🙏
Hi Jason.. keep up the great work. God bless.

Thank you for this🙏🏻 where to stay when you go? I’ve never been to India but am deeply close to Anandamayi Ma and Ramana and would love to plan a trip here
He needs lot of exposure , many people does not k is about him
Thank you for inspiring me to make this pilgrimage to Arunachala and circumambulate to dissolve my ego🙏
Do you think this is a case of extreme fung shwey like where you arrange furniture but like the earth did it. The energy of places is noticeably
my favorite place at Tiru except for Arunachala itself was the ashram of Amma Siva Sakthi... perfect energy in total silence there...
Beautifully explained

Better said than most fake secular Indian Hindus, credit to you.
Is Shiva an "it"?
Shiva is beyond the definable. Beyond the mind.
Why are all aspects of Indian spiritual beliefs founded on Off Wold beings such as Lord Shiva?
They gave the spiritual knowledge of our true beingness and have shown us the path to realise our limitless nature.
U gotta learn a lot, gotta learn more mate
Lingam… isn’t that the name of male reproductive part?

Monks are the ones who reveal the sacred truth that God is within and what we seek is seeking us
and offences to them and disrespect to them will only result in further suffering
....I would tend to agree with most of what you write and especially that things are however we imagine them to be, in the same way you have your own system of imagined beliefs you have here expressed. Just that, having traveled the planet extensively over many years there are without question certain places that seemingly defy any normal reason and logic. Arunachala is without question one of those places. I am neither a monk nor a religious person but would suggest that somehow this is one of those rare places where an endless number of people were 'called' to visit, most of whom never knew the place existed prior to that momentary calling. I don't really care either way, I have my own reasons for having returned here often and my own experiences, people are free to believe and do whatever they want.
yeah, you really have no idea what you are talking about. Doers and thinkers of what? Progressing to what? You think just by thinking and doing people will stumble to "betterment of society"? Also, who are you to judge how to spend their life, would you rather they become crime gang members and religious zealots? Your kind of BS thinking and doing is what leads to self destruction and global issues. Thinkers and doers like Napoléon, Genghis Khan, Hitler?
"If all of us were to become monks, society would collapse." - yes, it would in the traditional sense. But there would be true appreciation and love for each other, actions would become selfless and everyday would become a joy as it is no longer about personal egos or attainment. I get what you are saying, there are innumerable false god men exploiting people. I am not referring to them but people who have truly realised and have guided humanity. They lived exemplary lives and have guided humanity. Not all who have realised are monks either. King Janaka was a sage king. He was the epitome of how a king should be.
People with your mindset killed idolatry, nature worship and its adherents in the entire western hemisphere.

- Thiru Manikkavasagar composed illustrious verses praising the glories of Lord Shiva at Thiruvannamalai was famously known as arunachaleswara. In this verse, Thiru Manikkavasagar describes the Supremacy of Lord Shiva as Lingodhbhava the endless supreme light/flame
