What did Ramana Maharshi identify with the personal God?

  • Iswara

  • Brahma

  • Vishnu

  • Krishna

Answer

Iswara, the personal God, was identified by Ramana Maharshi with the individual's true Self, the Atman. Maharshi believed that the Atman, the innermost essence of being, is the source of all existence and consciousness, including the personal God. Thus, for Maharshi, Iswara was not a separate entity but rather a manifestation of the Atman within the individual.
