Come home to Arunachala.

A message from Maataji

“திருவண்ணாமலையே திருக்கயிலாயம். இங்கு வரும் எவரும் பசியோடு திரும்பக் கூடாது. ஒவ்வொரு முகத்திலும் சிவனைக் காணுங்கள் — அதுவே தவம்.”

“Thiruvannamalai itself is Thirukailayam. No one who comes here should leave hungry. See Shiva in every face you meet — that itself is tapas.”

Maataji — Sathguru Siva Sri Thiyaneswar Amma — built this ashram beside the hill she calls Thirukailayam itself, so that no sadhu walking around Arunachala goes hungry and no seeker leaves without a moment of stillness. Her books, her songs and her daily seva all say one thing: see Shiva in everyone, and serve.
