Mountain Path

Most probably the oldest Western student of Sri Ramana Maharshi, she merged in the Self on November 7th 2014. She was born near Frankfurt, Germany in 1911. Having escaped Nazi Germany as a Jew, she taught English in North India, where she read Paul Brunton’s A Search in Secret India. She first visited Tiruvannamalai and received Bhagavan’s darshan in 1940. It was his deep ‘Silence’ she felt most attracted to. Later in life she returned to Germany as an English, German and Music Teacher, and continued her inner journey and love towards Bhagavan with several visits to the Ashram until 1990. She was an avid reader of Mountain Path. She was a trusting, loving, self-reliant and friendly devotee.
