We are resuming the Devotional Face-to-Face Satsangs.

All who are interested in the Maharshi’s Teachings are welcome to attend our Satsangs.
The monthly main Face-to-Face Meeting, funded by donation, is usually on the 1st Saturday of the month at 2pm (you are welcome to come a little early). Dates & variant times will appear on this page. 2023's remaining date is 16 Dec. 2024's dates are 6 January, 3 February, 2 March, 4 May, 1 June, 6 July, 3 Aug, 7 Sep, 5 Oct, 2 Nov & 1 Dec. They are held at The Study Society, Colet House, 151 Talgarth Rd, London W14 9DA. (Barons Court is the nearest tube station served by District and Piccadilly lines). These meetings will include some reading, meditation and discussion.
A 2nd Devotional Face-to-Face Satsang is held at an address near Earl's Court tube station
that is available upon request.
This will usually be on the 3rd Saturday of the month, again at 2pm.

These satsangs are held on the second and last Saturday of every month at 2 pm (UK time). To obtain the Zoom link to participate in any of these Satsangs please contact us.
Over the 9 months from Sept/Oct 2023, Michael James plans to explain the verses of Arunachala Navamanimalai (Necklace of Nine Gems) - composed by Sri Ramana Maharshi. This hymn is emotional, inspiring and devotional and tells of the wonder of Arunachala. After that, Michael intends to return to 'Aksharamanamalai' - Marital Garland of Letters.
These talks should be available as usual on the Sri Ramana Teachings channel on YouTube soon after each meeting and a parallel series of articles will be appearing on Michael’s blog.
Presently (Aug 2023) Michael James is answering questions put to him by devotees. Since the meetings are recorded and then shown on YouTube, no private questions will be answered on Zoom.
These online meetings are on Thursday evenings at 7 pm (UK time). To obtain the Zoom link, please email: meetings@ramana-maharshi.org.uk
This online group meets on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings to go through the Core Texts. On Tuesdays, we are going through the text Guru Vachaka Kovai (translated by Venkatasubramanian, Butler and Godman). On Wednesdays, we are discussing the text Be As You Are - The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi (edited by David Godman). To obtain the Zoom link to participate, please email: meetings@ramana-maharshi.org.uk
Our suggested Annual Membership Donation is £10 (or more) per annum, and £50 (or more) for Life Membership. Any other donations would also be welcome. For details as to how to pay these contributions please contact us.
Please note that there is no Centre or Ashram, nor does the Foundation have its own premises which means, regrettably, that we are unable to provide accommodation for visitors.

Sri Ramanasramam produces its own free e-newsletter - Saranagati and the Mountain Path (a quarterly). Subscriptions to the Mountain Path can now be paid directly via the portal at http://worldstore.sriramanamaharshi.org.
Past issues can be accessed online in pdf format at the Sri Ramanasramam Resource Centre.
Books on Ramana Maharshi can be purchased by emailing books@ramana-maharshi.org.uk. Postage will be charged in addition to the prices listed. You will need to provide us with your postal address and state whether you would like to pay by bank transfer or cheque. For devotees living outside the UK, to make an online money transfer, Wise (previously called TransferWise) is a good option. The Foundation does not have any other facility for payment.
Because of the high cost of postage, we recommend that devotees in the USA purchase books from Arunachala Ashram in New York, and that devotees in India obtain books from the Ramanashram Bookstore.
The RMF UK has a Face Book page.
Alan Jacobs, our late President, also has a Page on Face Book especially designed for those practising the teaching: Alan Jacobs Advaita Vedanta
There are many websites that contain information about the teaching. The principal of these is Sri Ramanasramam.
All Enquiries should be emailed to: ramanamaharshifoundationuk@ramana-maharshi.org.uk
