Which God did Ramana Maharshi identify his true "I" with?

  • Shiva

  • Vishnu

  • Brahma

  • Ganesha

Answer

Shiva, the supreme deity in Hinduism, was the embodiment of Ramana Maharshi's true "I." Maharshi believed that the individual self, or ego, was an illusion and that the true self was identical with the universal consciousness represented by Shiva. Through meditation and self-inquiry, Maharshi sought to transcend the limitations of the ego and realize his unity with Shiva, the ultimate reality.
