Biography

Radha Ma lives in Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu, the city of Ramana Maharshi, at the foot of the sacred Arunachala Hill.

She came to Tiru from Bangalore where she got married and had a successful career in the computer industry. At some point, she decided to renounce the worldly life. For some time she conducted a life of a female sadhu, sleeping in the streets while moving to the area of Tiruvannamalai and Arunachala. Soon, devotees began attracted to her and urged her to move from the streets to a house that was rented for her. Her husband himself became one of her devotees.

Radha lives in a house together with a very few selected 3 sannyasins. The house is located off the pradakshina road on the Northwest side of the Arunachala Hill.
