On a visit to Sri Ramanasramam in 1960, Arthur Osborne suggested to Arunachala Bhakta Bhagawat that when he return to the USA he should begin holding meetings to introduce Sri Ramana Maharshi to Western seekers. It wasn't until November 12th, 1965 that Bhagawat began weekly meetings in a room at the American Buddhist Society on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. This led to the renting of facilities at 78 St.Marks Place and then at 342 East 6 Street. In 1987 the Ashrama moved to the borough of Queens, east of Manhattan and now occupies a building in Jamaica Estates, a quiet residential area of Queens. The Ashrama carries nearly all of the English books published by Sri Ramanasramam, India. It also distributes video tapes and audio CDs. Online Bookstore: http://www.arunachala.org/bookstore/

A question was asked as to the nature of happiness.
M.: If a man thinks that his happiness is due to external causes and his possessions, it is reasonable to conclude that his happiness must increase with the increase of possessions and diminish in proportion to their diminution. Therefore if he is devoid of possessions, his happiness should be nil. What is the real experience of man? Does it conform to this view?
In deep sleep the man is devoid of possessions, including his own body. Instead of being unhappy he is quite happy. Everyone desires to sleep soundly. The conclusion is that happiness is inherent in man and is not due to external causes. One must realise his Self in order to open the store of unalloyed happiness.
