=====================================

 

Hi everyone.

 

 

My name is Ashok Gollerkeri. I work as a Marine Radio Officer in an

offshore oil rig in Bombay High on a 14 days work at sea, 14 days off

at home pattern. I live in Bangalore and am married with one 7 year

old son.

 

 

I have not been a student or disciple of any teacher or

religion/philosophy/school of thought. However, I have

occasionally read from various scriptures cutting across all

religious/philosophical divisions. The connecting thread that

unites us all interests me more than the manmade barriers that divide

humanity. I do not practice any particular meditation, discipline or

technique nor do I lead or follow any person.

 

 

I have written about 220 essays on self enquiry in the last 6 months

and continue to write 1 or 2 essays a day focusing on self enquiry in

one way or another. I send one essay a month to members of my

group "AshokGollerkeriWritesToYou".

 

The group URL is:

 

AshokGollerkeriWritesToYou

 

I also post one essay in about 2 months on groups like these and like

to interact/keep in touch with people interested in self

enquiry/spirituality.

 

Regarding Adi Sankaracharya's work, I have read and immensely enjoyed

Vivekachoodamani in particular. I return to Vivekachoodamani

occasionally and find even a single verse most inspiring.

Bhajagovindam is also a great practical guide to navigate the stormy

seas of life.

 

Love and best wishes to all of you,

 

 

Ashok Gollerkeri
