At Ramana Ashram: Ill-treatment of animals, sadhus and poor people
August 19, 2017, 07:50:22 PM »
Dear All,
There is a posting on the " Tiru Community" Facebook page on August 16, 2017 at 6.01 a.m. about the beating of animals and ill-treatment of sadhus and poor people in Ramana Ashram.
There is also something on the Arunachala Grace blog at
I personally have witnessed Sadhus and poor people, especially if they are women, being treated very badly in Ramana Ashram. Even the women workers in the kitchen are treated so badly by men cooks. Complaints to the management have not helped.
The only way for us NOT to incur the karma is to stop donations to Ramana Ashram until they treat the sadhus with love, respect and kindness. The same goes for the women and the animals. They are all children of Arunachala, like we are.
The donations we are giving is making these workers very arrogant and helping them to go on a power trip. Please let us put an end to it.
We want Ramana Ashram Management to ensure that the Sadhus, women workers, poor people and animals are treated with love, respect and kindness. Arunachala and Bhagavan are in all of these people. Maybe they have come disguised to see how much compassion and respect we have for them.
with love to all,
Child of Arunachala

Dear Child of Arunachala,
I am really surprised to read all this. In truth,i have already read same complains of some women who had visited Ramanashram,but never took it too seriously. Even more surprised to read about animal treating!
Personally i feel that these things will happen always more or less,for all sorts of reasons,but at least,it should be put on minimum.
When we know how Bhagavan behaved toward animals,Saddhus,women,and all people who came to Him,i cannot understand how that can be forgotten!??After all,this is the great part of His teachings. So we all,including them,should not forget that nothing belongs to us,and this place is also only Bhagavan's property. And act accordingly.
With love,

Even in the days when Sri Bhagavan graced this terra firma such stray incidents have happened...and Bhagavan was even accused of supporting his authoritarian 'brother' and sarvadhikari of the asramam.
It is not as if the asramam is a place insulated from the world and its people...not all the people employed as cooks,watchmen,etc are sadhakas or interns.
Most of the reporting of such news would also be by people who are not sadhakas...and perhaps these things catch their attention, more so as they are looking for these.
Bhagavan's advice was 'vanda velaiyai paar'(Attend to what you came for)...and this advice is still the best...and if we come across anything dire and unseemly, the best course would be to report to the asramam office and they would do the needful...There is simply no point in publishing it in a public forum.
Every time that I have walked into the Asramam,I have always been greeted by the Strutting Peacocks, frolicking monkeys, and stray dogs which move about fearlessly as if to say 'Welcome to our Place' ...and amused visitors who watch all these with love and awe....I have videos of these.
By and large the asramam is well run and managed ...and offers the best opportunity to one and all to bask in the spiritual ambience of Arunachala and Bhagavan.This is one of the very best Asramams that I have come across and if we deprive it of our measly so called 'donation' it would mean that we would only end up depriving ourselves...the Asramam would go on, as it is sustained by the presence and Grace of Bhagavan and not by the "dollars'.

"The only way for us NOT to incur the karma is to stop donations to Ramana Ashram until they treat the sadhus with love, respect and kindness. The same goes for the women and the animals. They are all children of Arunachala, like we are."
Stopping donation is also an act as much as giving donation...The only way to relinquish the karmic baggage is to relinquish doership...i.e to give up the idea that one is the donor or otherwise...giving up the idea of 'doership' alone would make me a child of Arunachala.

What you are asking us to do is turn a blind eye. That is something we should NOT do.
The ashram management needs to ensure that all its workers, whether they are sadhakas or not, follow ashram policy of being kind and respectful to all, whether they are animals, sadhus, women staff or women in the poor feeding line. They should be fired if they are not following Bhagavan's teachings and ashram policy.
Beating a dog to death on Ashram premises!!! Treating the sadhus in a rude and abusive manner with our donations!!!. I am sorry I can't turn a blind eye to that. All workers need to comply with ashram policy.
Take care

Child of Arunachala,
No.I am not recommending to turn a blind eye...As I have said,if one encounters anything untoward,it may be taken up with the Ashram office directly...and they may do the needful.
Did you witness these things?Did you take it up with the Ashram management?What is their response?

Child of Arunachala,
I am not a user of facebook...tried searching for any information concerning ill treatment/killing of dogs in Sri Ramanasramam...could find just this link that carries a letter from Sri Ramanasramam appreciating the services of 'Arunachala Animal Sanctuary & Rescue Shelter':
Please scroll to the end of this page....The Letter says
"The Ashram supports the activities they are involved with and is deeply appreciative of their work.We encourage those who are moved in that direction to support their work"
There is no reason to believe that the ashram management has changed its mind on their earlier stance.
I went through the link that you provided and did not find anything that implicated the Ashram ...If you have any other information you may share the same.

I am not sure why you are getting so defensive and angry. All that devotees are asking is that the workers who are not following the Ramana Ashram policy of love, respect and kindness should.
I just checked the facebook page for Tiru Community is still there and the post by a westerner on August 16, 2017 at 6.01 a.m. is still there.
Here it is: 17 people have responded to the original post.

Dear Tiru folks, hoping all of you are safe! I want to speak for animals as they can't speak for themselves. Some of you may have noticed, others may not. Ramana Ashram happens to be a place where dogs get chased away with sticks, sometimes get beaten, and sometimes they die because of heavy beating. Several people who come every day to the ashram shared with me that they had witnessed such things there. Regularly. I understand dogs can sometimes cause problems, but I don't agree with beating them. There are certain people working for the ashram who treat them nicely and there are some who seem to delight in torturing them. I don't find beating a dog a solution. It actually is completely opposite to what Bhagavan Ramana was about. One dog died few years ago after being heavily beaten by an ashram guard. According to X-ray, his heart broke! And now, just recently, an ashram guard beat another dog so much that he died! I reported this to the office but I don't know what and whether something at all will happen. One thing I was surprised about was, when I mentioned the dog who died few years ago due to heavy beating by the guard, I was told by one of the ashram officers that "they make a big thing out of it" (meaning people). This is inexcusable. It is a murder. I understand keeping an ashram is a difficult task. But not taking any measures when an employee willingly kills a dog who is not any threaten to him is just a quiet supporting of animal cruelty.
Shanti Ramanan
Shanti Ramanan Agree n we will also speak to the office bearers

Bubu Leni Thank you. I think many people witness it but don't talk about it because they don't want to get into trouble, or for other reasons, which I understand. Some may have tried to talk but gave up because of the attitude of the ashram office.

That's the problem with maintaining any kind of shrine or other big organization and property. Gradually materialistic values seep in and the original loving sacred atmosphere is lost. I founded an āśram once, thinking I could do a better job. But the same nonsense started happening despite my best efforts, so I closed it down and sent everyone home. Quantity dilutes quality, especially in spiritual matters. The bigger and more externally successful an organization becomes, the more it loses its original purpose and spiritual quality.

Agree. Killing a dog is murder they are also living being and Ramana Maharishi loved animals. But this thing the ashram does is opposite of Ramana .

To my knowledge I see dogs everyday in the office entrance and some sleeping in the new hall inside mother's shrine. I personally haven't seen any beating. Could it b an one off ? I too am totally in disagreement if animals were mistreated.

Bubu Leni
Prakash Raja Kokila Maryann Byrne I agree that dogs are allowed inside and they sleep there, get fed, etc. But certain parts of the day they are being chased away, out of the ashram. I personally witnessed it, not once. It is both. Good treatment some part of the day, and then chasing away (or beating) some other part of the day. And the beating may not be happening every day. But it does happen. It seems there are periods when the guards are being very "passionate" about having all the dogs out of the ashram, and then there are periods when they are more relaxed about it.

Kokila Maryann Byrne
I have been there many years and have never seen this. There are many dogs in the ashram who live there and are treated well. I am so sorry and surprised that this happened.
August 16 at 3:17pm
Polka Hound Dear Bubu Leni , Sorry that you had to witness something like this, especially in an ashram setting. thank you for being the voice for the voiceless ones. I had heard about these stories - about dogs been beaten in the ashram but I had never personally seen nor did I trust the sources until recently when it happened to someone I know well. Not sure if you are talking about the same incident - a sweet dog died a month back due to internal injuries which was definitely due to the beatings it had received from one of the ashram guards. Why would someone beat an animal so hard? And why is this seemingly condoned? People with such a vicious streak really have no business being in an ashram.
2 ? August 17 at 3:57am
Bubu Leni
Dear Polka Hound, thank you for your words. Yes, I think we are talking about the same incident. And I completely agree with what you said!
Devānanda Sarasvatī
There is a funny story in Rāmāyaṇa about a dog who was sleeping on a path and got kicked by an angry Brahmin. The dog went to Rāma and complained. The Brahmin was summoned and admitted his fault. Rāma asked the dog what the Brahmin's punishment should be. The dog said, "Make him the manager of such-and-such āśram." Rāma said, "That doesn't sound like a punishment." The dog replied, "I used to be the manager of that āśram. It is because I mistreated the inhabitants that I am now a dog."

people got angry with it for making a noise, Bhagavan would defend it, saying it was only doing its duty by the Ashram. There was at one time a small puppy that would always relieve itself on a nice smooth spot near the office. Chinna Swamy would get furious and try to drive it out of the Ashram, but again Bhagavan would come to the rescue, saying that if some child did the same thing nobody would be angry, and the puppy was only a child and knew no better.

I fully understand and know what your saying and truthfully I think the new guards at the gate should be told to back off. I also see how they treat poor people . They are bullies who have a chance to act out. Something should be done. Good Luck, Over the years I have seen many dogs an cats come and go from the Ashram and I am sure how they go is not always kind.

Child of Arunachala,
I find the usual loose talk and exchange only...Did anyone talk to Dr Murthy? ...or Mr V S Ramanan?...What is their response?
Please do not get me wrong...I am neither angry nor being defensive...I certainly will not tolerate any merciless beating and killing of innocent animals...but all the same I am not against some show of force if that is the only way an unruly animal has to be handled in a public place like the ashram....Please refer to my post in the Rough Note book thread(Gives a new dimension to the word 'Rough' ...ha ha)
If I encounter anything untoward ,I will take it up in a forthright manner...and will give an objective verbatim report...and pursue it with those responsible.

Namaste Krishnaji,
Good to hear from you, too.
Spirituality isn't just about writing volumes about Arunachala or Bhagavan, or maybe even give speeches, go on a foreign (sorry, phoren) tour.
It is about: "Has your heart softened and your mind become pure." You can see that by how you respond to other human beings, animals, trees, and plants. I think I just proved my point in the exchange above.
I hope you have been well. Take care.

Dear All,
Shall we retire this topic? I am sure Ramana Ashram would have taken action against the erring employees. Even if they haven't, it has been my experience that the ones in the office area are generally very compassionate and respectful of animals and sadhus. It is the workers - the uneducated ones who have not imbibed Bhagavan's teachings - who are cruel. Besides there is karma, Arunachala is watching and he will take care in his own way and in his own time.
I remember on one visit to Tiruvannamalai, I was standing near the kitchen door, when the supervisor of the kitchen supplies area, suddenly stood up and hit his very loyal dog which was lying near by. The dog did nothing wrong and was the sweetest dog I had seen. The dog cried out in pain, got up, took a few steps and sat down facing him, looking very lovingly at this awful caretaker. It happened in full view of Arunachala and in Bhagavan's ashram. I did not report it but a few months later, this caretaker was dead. He was walking home after work, when a snake fell on him from a tree above. He had a heart attack and died a few days later. Arunachala and Bhagavan know how to teach us our lessons. So let's leave it to them.

From Conservapedia
Harthacanute (c.1019-1042), king of England (1040-1042), was the son of king Canute by his second wife and the younger half-brother of Harold Harefoot whom he succeeded.
He is not well remembered. The "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" tells that he desecrated his brother's body, was an oath-breaker, set punitive taxes, and "let all of Worcestershire be harried" when two of his tax collectors were murdered. "…he never did a kingly thing while he ruled." it complained. His sudden death, in mid-carouse, at a wedding feast brought his anointed successor, Edward the Confessor to the throne.

Getting Rid of Clothes the Green Way
The last thing the green-living you wants to do with clothes you no longer wear is to toss them in the trash for a quick trip to the landfill! If they don't yet look like rags, take them to a consignment clothing store. If the store accepts your items for resale, you get some of your money back along with the knowledge that your discarded clothing will go to a good home.
For select items of clothing, such as designer labels, kids clothing, or plus sizes, taking them to a specialty consignment store often gets you the best possible price.
If a consignment store won't take your clothing, find a nonprofit or charitable organizations that will. Gently worn office wear for women, for example, may be welcome at an organization that helps victims of domestic abuse get back on their feet and into the workforce. Kids' coats are often in demand in local clothing drives as cold weather approaches. Taking this targeted approach gives your clothes the best chance of being reused locally.
You also can donate clothing to a nonprofit or charity group that will resell or donate your clothes to those less fortunate. Drop-off points are often located in the parking lots of grocery stores and malls. The group sells or gives away what it can, but be aware that some items may end up being bought by private companies that give the designated charity a donation and then sell the clothes in developing countries.
Consider re-gifting clothing that you no longer want. Everyone's received at least one sweater that they wouldn't be seen in under any circumstances, but there may be someone you know who would like the items you don't (really!). Give the item to someone who you genuinely believe will like or appreciate it. And while you're at it, spare a thought for the person who gave you the gift in the first place; it's best not to re-gift their sweater to a mutual friend or family member.
If you simply can't use the item any longer and there's no life left in it, repurpose it. Use it as a cooking apron, cleaning cloth, shoe polisher, or something similarly functional. Save any buttons, zippers, elastic, or trims for use in repairing other clothes. If you don't need extra rags and such around the house, and if the material was organically produced and the fabric wasn't dyed or treated with chemicals, it may be fodder for the compost pile, where it can recycle some nutrients back into the soil.

Like the Mardi Gras King Cake, I suspect that the Easter Lamb Cake is just inherently Wrecky. I mean, this one Jamie B. sent in is a good one:
So really, it's like shooting apples* in a barrel to go after these things: just too darn easy.
However, I will go after the smoking lamb cakes:
I've seen several of these cigarette-puffing lamb cakes now, and I'm totally baffled. I get the lamb/Easter connection, but where's the cigarette feature? This one Monique R. found actually has a "Happy Birthday" sign around its neck, but most say "Happy Easter". Here's a better example:Oy vay! An Easter lamb schmokin? What kind of mishegas is going on here?
Here's a variation, lest you think only one bakery out there is making these crazy things:
I'm guessing this is some kind of regional tradition, but I look forward to you lovely readers filling me with your wisdom. Explain this madness to me in the comments, so we can all learn something today, eh?
And before I leave you, here's one more photo sent in by Kat:
It's not really a Wreck; I just love that little girl's expression as she's preparing to lop off the lamb's head. You can almost hear the Responsible Adult going "Now, dear, let me help you..." as she's gleefully hacking away. Heehee! Oh, and that spot of jam is well-placed, too.
*Yes, I know it's supposed to be "fish in a barrel", but I would never shoot a fish. Too messy.
**For the record, this is the hardest word to learn to spell by looking up in the dictionary, ever.
UPDATE: And the answer is....[drum roll]
I don't know. Yep, despite having lots of theories floated my way - each one seemingly more bizarre than the last - I still haven't heard a silver-bullet explanation for the smoking lamb cake. However, reader Rosemary was kind enough to compile the most prevalent/reasonable-sounding theories in her blog here, so check those out and see which you think it is.

UpRising Books
UpRising Books is an upstart publisher and book promoter seeking to lead a publishing evolution of positive, grassroots change. We will bring together readers, agents, and established publishers to help the best unknown authors find their voice. We would like a logo that conveys a new dawn, being part of a movement of major change, but change created by working together to help the best new books "rise up" to the top. Think also the bringing together of old and new worlds, the sense that the future is now, and innovative, history-marking equations such as E=MC2. Logo should include both words of the business name, "UpRising Books," but with "Books" less prominent. A unique symbol or equation might work. Or even better, think beyond all this and wow us with the logo that will establish our brand and kick off an era of rejuvenation in the publishing world!
Overall audience skews a bit to the female (@60%), primary age range 18-50, at least internet savvy enough to be drawn to a website where they can read book-related items on a regular basis, the last indicating at least middle class income.
First tier: Authors, readers - They are the primary people using the site; they must be inspired to act in support of one another and to change the current publishing model.
Second tier: Literary agents, traditional publishers - Seeing the value that authors and readers gain from our site, they should be encouraged to join the movement. Success with our publishing model is not exclusive and independent, but inclusive and interdependent.
Logo will be used initially on our website, so it needs to set the colors, tone of voice, and life hum of our brand. Subsequently, it will BE UpRising Books wherever it is seen, so we want a logo that stands alone, speaks indirectly of a gentle revolution--but one which will not wait, and one which conveys positivity, cooperative change and non-aggression--and serves as the basis for developing our tag line and the rest of our branding and marketing materials.

India Inc. Cheers Obama's Re-Election
Many industrialists and corporate executives in India welcomed a second term for Barack Obama in the hope that the U.S. President will continue to encourage more trade and stronger business ties with their country.
Steel tycoon and member of Parliament Naveen Jindal, chairman of Jindal Steel and Power Ltd., said: "Mr. Obama has created history by getting elected a second time. I congratulate him."
He was speaking on the sidelines of a World Economic Forum event outside New Delhi.
"Obama's election is important as it spells continuity and stability not only for U.S. and the whole world. We know what his economic and foreign policies are," said Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, chairman and managing director of biotechnology firm Biocon
Ms. Shaw argued India's pharmaceutical and software industries could benefit from Mr. Obama's healthcare reforms. "He wants the healthcare system to become efficient, and that is where the IT industry stands to gain. And he wants it to be affordable, and that is how India's generic drug makers stand to gain," she said, also speaking at the WEF event.
On what he thought of Mr. Obama's victory, Adi Godrej, chairman of the Godrej Group group of companies, said: "I think the U.S. economy will recover sooner now and that will help India also."
Anand Mahindra, managing director of Mahindra Group, an industrial conglomerate, on Twitter said: "The 2nd term of a US President is the more fascinating one. With politicking out of the way, it's time to build the real legacy."
Commenting on Mr. Obama's razor-thin presidential race, Mr. Mahindra said: "He will rule a nation so divided that we may need two visas to visit it."
The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India, a trade association, said their president, Rajkumar Dhoot, felt that, with Mr. Obama's re-election, "untapped trade opportunities between the two countries will be tapped and U.S. companies will hugely invest in the infrastructure development opportunity that India provides."
The statement also said Mr. Dhoot expressed hope that the U.S. economy will recover speedily "as the Indian economy is deeply integrated with it."
Here's how India's bureaucracy responded to Mr. Obama's re-election.

Get together, both online and offline, with like-minded expats that have made Malta their home, and learn everything you could need to know about expat life in Malta. You may want to ask the community questions such as "where am I most likely to find work?", "how much is accommodation around the Grand Harbor?", or "is it possible to live in Valletta?". Whatever your questions or concerns, our expat community in Malta is happy to help. They can give you their top tips and tricks to help make your expat life in Malta a complete success. Become a part of our Malta Community and get to know the unique Maltese culture before you touch town on the islands.

Set in the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta has a long history and culture that is very unique and interesting. Whether you choose to live in the historic Harbor area, part of the World Heritage Site of Valletta, or the peaceful beach-side community of St. Paul's Bay, the island offers beautiful nature, ancient history, and plenty to do. With a typical Mediterranean climate, Malta has 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, and the sun can shine for up to 12 hours a day! Access to the beautiful coastline and beaches on the islands is easy from most locations, and the beach lifestyle is often a big draw for expats planning a life in Malta. With its surrounding sea, Malta is also a popular place for snorkeling and scuba diving. Many working expats move to Malta for the main industries on foreign trade, manufacturing, and tourism. Others choose to retire in Malta, as specific job roles away from tourism and trade are rare to find and the lifestyle is perfect for retirees. The economy is growing, however, and opportunities are increasing for foreign workers on the islands. Malta is also very safe, which is another appeal for expats, with political stability, a low crime-rate, and a democratic government. It has also recently introduced free child care.

Especially if they're grilling, people often spend so much time focusing on summer entrées that they put little thought into side dishes—beyond opening a bag of chips, of course. And that's unfortunate, because Americans get too few fresh vegetables and fruits in their diets as it is, and side dishes are the perfect way to add more.
Emphasizing quick and creative food combinations that take full advantage of summer's abundance of ripe, fresh produce is an excellent strategy during blazing-hot days when you want to keep cooking to a bare minimum. Having a few flavorful side items on hand can even make a nice, light meal. To prepare low-fuss, seasonal side dishes, try these tips:
Refreshing Summer Vegetable Salad*
Makes 4 Salads
This quick and easy-to-prepare salad is bursting with the taste of summer from assorted seasonal vegetables and fresh basil.
10 organic cherry tomatoes, quartered
10 organic pitted Kalamata olives, chopped

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee opens its annual meeting in Paris today. The Committee will announce the new remarkable natural and cultural areas that have made it to the list of World Heritage Sites. A total of 42 sites are considered for inscription this year.
IUCN, the advisory body on natural sites, will present its expert recommendations to the Committee for the new iconic natural areas to be added to the prestigious list. 13 sites have been nominated for inscription for their natural values.
"The World Heritage Convention will be turning 40 next year," says IUCN's Director General Julia Marton-Lefèvre. "We see this as an opportunity to celebrate its success but also carry out some much needed reforms to strengthen its unique role in securing the conservation of these exceptional places and their contribution to sustainable development."
"There have been concerns about growing politicization within the Convention," says Tim Badman, Director of IUCN's World Heritage Programme. "This meeting is important to both reinforce the Convention's reputation for the highest technical standards, and to take decisions that will maximize conservation results on the ground."
At the Committee meeting IUCN will also be reporting back on monitoring missions it conducted to 16 World Heritage Sites in 2010 and 2011 and will recommend those under the most severe threat to be inscribed on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. At the meeting IUCN will also issue its position on mining within World Heritage Sites.
"Natural World Heritage Sites represent a commitment to future generations that the international community needs to uphold," says Mariam Kenza Ali, World Heritage Conservation Officer at IUCN. "In order to do this, mineral and oil and gas exploration should not be permitted within World Heritage Sites because of the serious and irreversible damage that could be caused to the Outstanding Universal Value of the world's most important natural areas."
