Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 This spiritual discussion group is an open Satsang and is blessed by Sri Ramana Maharshi, the great Jnani Sage of Arunachala. a is in the best tradition of a joyous spiritual fellowship for facilitating the Recognition of the Eternal Reality that is One's Own Self. "I Am That!" This is the uncompromising, simple, and yet Radical Truth proclaimed in a variety of ways by the ancient and modern Sages of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Taoism. In Advaita Vedanta, the highest teaching emphasizes the complete identity of the Individual Soul with the Supreme Soul. In Tibetan Buddhism, Dzogchen is considered the supreme teaching and represents the nondual focus on one's innate wakefulness. How beautiful the variety of expressions in so many different traditions! We embrace this variety with great joy and in fellowship in a. No religion or teacher or tradition has a monopoly on the Essential Truth of Reality which is Our Own Nature. In this context, a focuses on the aspirations and experiences of individuals on the spiritual path. Everyone interested in any of the Shiva and Shakti traditions, and the related yogic and tantric paths as well as those practicing primarily the cognitive methods of the pure nondual teachings of great Jnanis such as Ramana Maharshi are welcome to join. The discussions are typically expected to focus on Self-Realization, Kundalini Shakti and Its Manifestations, God-Realization, the Goddess, Enlightenment, and various types of Samadhis (Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa). Discussion of various teachers and teachings can also be enriching as long as there is mutual respect and a feeling of amity in the conversation. Humor and poetry and other artistic expressions of the spiritual life are encouraged and supported. May God Bless everyone with Peace, Joy, and Understanding. May we all nourish and heal each other in the spirit of Compassion, Wisdom and Love. OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. Peace to all living beings.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Dear Harsha tku for your letter! May I add with due respect that the CORE of Judaism is of course NONDUALITY too! When I read Ramana saying that the Hebrew I AM THAT I AM when GD told this most sacred name is the one and only thruth there is A N D includes all the wisdom of many thousand years of sacred hindu spiritual literature I was touched incredible this was stated before the SHOA and it dropped into my heart and mind that the real root of the many thousand years old "Antisemits" is the fact that the truth of Nonduality is "hidden" in this message given to "the jews" hoping to get answers all my gratitude to you and all the others Michael Bindel > > > > File - >3 Jan 2004 01:38:45 -0000 > > >This spiritual discussion group is an open Satsang and is blessed by Sri Ramana Maharshi, the great Jnani Sage of Arunachala. a is in the best tradition of a joyous spiritual fellowship for facilitating the Recognition of the Eternal Reality that is One's Own Self.

May I add with due respect that the CORE of Judaism is of course NONDUALITY too! When I read Ramana saying that the Hebrew I AM THAT I AM when GD told this most sacred name is the one and only thruth there is SNIP The passage of the Jewish Scriptures that is referred to above is Exodus 3:13-15 the NASB translation appears below: Exodus 3 13 Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" 14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" 15 God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations. The "I am the I am" statement found in verse 14 is obviously the one that the Maharshi and many others have often quoted, and of course it is quite significant. But an overlooked portion of this passage appears in verse 15: "...and this is My memorial-name...". The phrase "memorial-name" is translated from the Hebrew word ZEKER. The word ZEKER is associated with meditative techniques. So in this passage of Exodus not only is the name "I AM" revealed to Moses; but also that it is to be used for meditation.
