MEET YOUR HOSTESS – THANALETCHMY SRIDHAR (MARRIAGE NAME)

Gratitude & Blessings

With deep appreciation, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all who have visited our website, shared kind words, and referred our home stay to others. Your support and goodwill have been truly invaluable.

A sincere thank you to all the beautiful souls who have chosen to stay at Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments. Your presence has filled this space with warmth, devotion, and positive energy. To our prospective guests, we welcome you with open hearts and look forward to sharing this sacred space with you.

I am grateful for the abundance in life, for the divine grace that flows through all things, and for the unseen blessings that guide our journey.

A special thank you to Guru Mandala—the lineage of enlightened masters whose wisdom and presence continue to illuminate our path. My deepest reverence to Lord Shiva in the form of Lord Dakshinamoorthy, the eternal source of truth, love, and liberation.

I extend my special gratitude to Ramana Bhagavan for "silencing me"—a profound transformation, as silence was the most difficult thing for me as a qualified lawyer. Without this grace, I may have remained entangled in the endless cycle of family drama, legal drama, and life’s distractions. The appearance of light workers in my life has transcended me in ways beyond comprehension, pushing me toward true inner freedom.

The empowerment I have received from Mohanji and his programs has worked wonders in the most subtle, indescribable ways. Words cannot do justice to the depth of this transformation—it is something one must participate in, connect with, and experience firsthand.

With love and gratitude, I also express my heartfelt thanks to my beloved husband and my dear children, my son and daughter, for their love, support, and presence in my life. Their sacrifices are beyond words to pen down.

May we all continue to walk this journey in peace, devotion, and divine grace.

If you have landed on my bio-page then it is not a co-incidence but it is Divine play. It is meant to happen. This is my personal experience as how I have ended from the UK, as an Immigration Solicitor, to a Reiki Healer / Energy Healer and finally at Tiruvannamalai as a Spiritual Seeker.

I am your hostess, Thanaletchmy Sridhar, managing Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments at Vediyapannur, Village, Adi Annamalai , Tiruvannamalai District, Tamil Nadu, India.

I have a great pleasure to cordially invite you to my home stay at Tiruvannamalai. A serene retreat nestled in the tranquil embrace of Arunachala. Step away from the calamities, challenges, and chaos of everyday life and immerse yourself in a safe, peaceful, and quiet environment at Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments.

At Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments, you will have the opportunity to reconnect with your inner self and experience the bliss of unity with Ramana Arunachala. A powerful, potent and permanent connections can be manifested with many other world's renowned spiritual masters in the universe where the source derives from Arunachala itself.

Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments is the name of this building. I personally embraced the blessings of Sai in Arunachala as my accommodation. My Shirdi Sai Sadguru, is in my heart and he created the space for me. It is a big Divine play as how I had been pulled to stay put and live here on the Lap of Arunachala. An unexpected miracle gift from The Guru Mandala.

Lord Dakshinamurthi, my Adi Guru (in form) has orchestrated the start of the roller coaster in my life from 2017 to the end of 2024. In this period of time, I had been exposed to many connections of spiritual masters, mentors, and given lots of lessons, and clarity in life.

Since, I did not know how to handle the challenges in my life, I was also bestowed with a Spiritual Living Master called Mohanji in 2022. Personally, for me, Shirdi Sai and Mohanji are the same. It is Sai who gave me Sai Mohanji. It is this Divine connection that pulled me to Tiruvannamalai soil in February 2023. Time spent at Mohanji Senior Homes, brought about profound changes to my personal and spiritual life journey. The Tiruvannamalai Girivalam sadhana burnt lots of my pain and sufferings in my life.

It was only a short stay of more than two weeks with three rounds of Girivalam. Thereafter, I returned to London not knowing that my next trip to Tiruvannamalai, I was going to be permanently locked.

My heart was light when I was leaving Tiruvannamalai in 2023. I could feel the emptiness, and sadness of living “Father.” As I sat on the bus, travelling further and further away from the Arunachala Mountain: I prayed to be with Him again and help me to be away from the people, places and events that caused tremendous losses, pain and sufferings in my life. I was feeling vulnerable and gullible. I wanted His protection, empowerment and transformation to my soul. I did not want to be the same person any more “crying.” I also wanted to be somewhere close where Mohanji was and I sincerely wanted to migrate my blood family members to be under his umbrella of protection.

In mid - 2024, I planned for a month stay at Tiruvannamalai. Upon completing the medical treatment and therapy for my younger brother, Kumaran Gengadaran, who is a post stroke patient with permanent disabilities: loss of speech and right limbs' paralysis. Kumaran is also a male domestic violence survivor from Malaysia. Both of us, headed to Tamarai Nagar. Despite knowing the ongoing construction of Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments and an invitation to visit the site were extended on numerous occasions - I continuously ignored. I declined from the time my brother was admitted to Nimhans Hospital, Bangalore from beginning to mid of 2024.

It was Divine’s will that I should move and occupy Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments. So one month stay at Tamarai Nagar, opposite Ramana Ashram was not eventful (6th June 2024 to 6th July 2024). We had to move out from our rented accommodation. I shall not go into the specifics at this stage. I was guided in the past that whatever happens in our lives is for our own good. I used to get really mad as to how on earth such unpleasant experiences, losses in life and pain and sufferings can be for our own good!.

Then when I embarked into spiritual path seriously - I was guided that all experiences in life are due to our own actions and choices made in the past. Therefore, we must develop spiritual maturity to accept the experiences without any resistance. Any amount of resistance will only persevere and drag the matter. It was also further guided not to “label” anything as “good / bad / ugly / beautiful / etc.” However, personally, it is not easy-peasy to apply the learning and exposure in our daily life whilst going through “all the so-called karmic experiences”. But what I have learnt is out of that “painful karmic experiences” there is a beautiful light, life and blessings awaiting at the end of our karmic cycle. Hence, to conclude, “pain and sufferings in life” are “truly Divine grace in disguise” for which I am eternally grateful to my last breath.

In a normal day-to-day mundane, materialistic and monotonous life would I even turn to spiritual path or step my foot at Tiruvannamalai? I did not even know about Arunachala Hill prior to 2023 in my life.

So, I officially and formally took up one apartment on 6th July 2024 and business plans rolled in August 2024. It was not my intention to do business but events unfolded in an unexpected manner. I am simply going with the flow and remain guided by Arunachala.

It was His call.

I am before Him every second of my life since 6th July 2024 at Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments. "Father" has helped me to evolve and make certain mature decisions for my highest and greatest good.

The sight of Lord Shiva standing as a mountain is actually Agni Tatwa. The Lord with many names, fame and power. When you look at his meditative state in absolute stillness and silence, one will realise in their personal spiritual journey as to how many struggles they face on a day to basis living in this materialistic world to reach or attain that state of blissfulness.

But, personally for me all the life dramas took a drastic turn and my personal ego was bashed and burnt here by Annamalaiyar with his Agni Tatwa. Life once again became bearable. I was breathing love, compassion and kindness from Annamalaiyar and Unnamalai.

Merely, by being here;
Breathing the air of Arunachala; and
Gazing at Arunachala.

It simply gives a lot of healing, space to reflect about myself, my life, and to find the truth within.

A perfect place to burn one’s ego and attain salvation, transformation and liberation with our deep connection, personal commitment, discipline, consistent practice and conviction to our spiritual sadhana.

Whether you seek spiritual solace, peace of mind, or simply an escape to nature's calm, my hospitality ensures a nurturing space where you can find harmony and relaxation.

It is my personal experience that being on this holy land itself is a Grace from Arunachala, and he will evolve us by giving the right and adequate lessons. But we have to be prepared for all eventualities in our lives.

Father, Annamalaiyar and Mother Unnamalai will shower us with healing, transformation, and spiritual maturity. The Divine parents unconditional love has no boundaries.

The narration of my personal journey is the testament.

I play a small role in providing a home away from home for you. I have not made the interior look alike as a “hotel” but as a “homely” space. A calm, cosy and clean environment at Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments, surely will not disappoint you.

My hospitality comes straight from my heart, treating every guest with the warmth, respect and care as a family. With a deep commitment to your well-being, safety, and comfort - I, ensure a clean and hygienic environment where guests can relax and rejuvenate. Infusing the space with energy work, Shirdi Sai Baba Miracle Meditations, Lord Shiva Kavacham and channelled light to create a pleasant, comfortable and calm ambiance for your self-retreat or spiritual sadhanas or tapas during your home stay at Tiruvannamalai.

I practice my personal spiritual sadhana in Tiruvannamalai, and with my hands which had been healing others, The Divine, had created this Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments business for me. It became such a conducive environment, and a sacred space with deep connection at a multitude level.

I invite you to feel the joy that I am having sitting on the Lap of Arunachala. My hands are now working upon a building a successful home stay business at Tiruvannamalai re-instating the self-respect, self-confidence and self-esteem that I lost in my life once upon a time in the past. With His grace Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments will become a home stay with spiritual blessings embodied and will operate with a human element to it.

My approach is simple, transparent, and honest, fostering a direct and authentic connection with each guest. I go above and beyond to support your spiritual practices and growth. When you stay at Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments, you will feel a nurturing space where spiritual sadhana can flourish and your heart can find peace within.

The lessons that I received after I landed in India particularly in Tiruvannamalai had given me first-hand experiences of the importance for a safe, clean, comfortable, peaceful and hassle-free tenancy.

I follow certain protocol in accepting potential occupants to stay at Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments. My ideal occupants are:

This list is not exhaustive but provided as a guideline as who are usually accepted at Om Sai Ram Garden Apartments and preference is always given to inquiries from those categories of people both from India and abroad.

I can only share my life experiences to uplift, inspire and motivate you. I state "the call and stay" in Arunachala as a retreat because no one can step their foot “on the land of Arunachala without His Divine call!”. Hence, that itself is an overflowing Grace from Arunachala. The source where all the living, ascended and descended Masters in the Universe connects. I have been blessed in multitude to live here now. Words will not suffice to express the level of gratitude that I feel in my heart after all that roller coaster ride for an extended period of time. So living on His soil on his Lap itself is a personal Divine retreat for me.

I shall end sharing two further profound messages:
