The Vice-President of India, C. P. Radhakrishnan, on Thursday addressed the ongoing 146th Jayanti celebrations of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and released a commemorative coin in his honour at a function held in New Delhi.
Addressing the gathering, the Vice-President described Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi as one of the most revered spiritual sages of modern India, who occupies a distinguished place in the nation’s spiritual and civilisational heritage.
He said that while many saints lived lives of detachment, what made Sri Ramana Maharshi unique was that he remained unattached even to the exemplary life of renunciation that he himself embodied.
The Vice-President said that Ramana Maharshi’s life and teachings represent the essence of India’s timeless quest for truth, self-knowledge and inner freedom.
Highlighting his central teaching of Atma Vichara (Self-enquiry), he noted that Maharshi’s emphasis on inner realisation has inspired spiritual seekers across the world, establishing him as one of India’s most universally respected spiritual masters.
The Vice-President noted that Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi’s compassion extended equally to human beings, animals and all living creatures, reflecting values that resonate deeply with India’s civilisational ethos and its tradition of universal harmony.
VP Radhakrishnan released a commemorative coin by the Ministry of Finance as a fitting tribute during the event.
