Biography of Mudumbai Ramachandran

Mudumbaï Ramachandran was a Hindu devotee and philanthropist who had an association of over 40 years with Frithjof Schuon and other leading Perennialists. Born into a well-known Brahmin family, he became an industrialist and traveled widely in several continents. Ramachandran was a disciple of the Order of Sri Ramakrishna and knew most of the great contemporary spiritual masters of India. He acted for many years as the liaison between Frithjof Schuon and HH the 68th Jagadguru of Kanchi , Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati. In his later years, Mr. Ramachandran dedicated much of his energies to local charitable projects in India. Mudumbaï Ramachandran died in 2006.

Mr. Ramachandran contributed a piece, "Frihjof Schuon: A small Word of Homage and Celebration," to the edition of the Traditionalist journal Sophia which was dedicated to Frithjof Schuon. The essay has appeared in publications in various languages, including French (in Connaissance des Religions, July-October 1999) and Spanish (in Frithjof Schuon (1907-1998) Notas biográficas, estudos, homenajes, Sophia Perennis, 2004).
