Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 The last paragraph of my message about my experience may sound really bad if read literally... I said that I had posted my experience because it confirmed what Buddha and Maharshi said about reality. So what? As if I was some big authority on spiritual matters. "Oh now its okay, since YOU, FRED, THE GREATEST, HAS CONFIRMED THAT MAHARSHI, THE COMMONER, WAS RIGHT, NOW WE ARE GOING TO BELIEVE." Haha. I really am sometimes puzzled at how I can think and write such stupidity in the middle of bright spiritual insights.....

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Hello dear Krshnam! What you said, my friend, exact truth. Are you interested in Theosophy? My first spiritual interest, some months before I studied Buddhism and Advaita (and precisely the reason why I went to study these) was Theosophy. Later I had some interesting experiences relating to some things that have been written by some authors of the Theosophical society.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Namaste, I recall reading a book "In Days of Great Peace" by Mouni Sadhu (M. Sudouski) describing his experiences of meeting Ramaa Maharshi. He is described as a Portuguese devotee, but I believe he was from Brazil. His books are listed as follows: http://www.alibris.com/search/author_search.cfm/Mouni_Sadhu http://www.ramana-maharshi.org/m_path/1964_3/july_1964_frameset.htm I think some of his books have been translated into Portuguese. Would like to hear confirmation from our friends in Brazil. Regards, Sunder advaitin, "Frederico S. Gonzales" <fsg@s...> wrote: And yes I am brazilian.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Namaste, Good News for our Brazil friends! Brazilian Devotees Commemorate A Silver Jubilee For more than two decades we have had the good fortune of occasionally meeting, but more often, hearing from members of A Luz no Caminho-Associacao Espiritualista, a Center dedicated to Sri Ramana Maharshi in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. The president of this Center, Nelson Lara dos Reis, will invariably visit our New York Ashrama whenever he travels to the U.S. on business. He called us from Brazil on the day of their 25th Anniversary celebration and also visited the Ashrama in New York on July 21. On that day he personally delivered the following letter: Dearest Brothers: The year of 1997 is a very important milestone for Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi Brazilian devotees. A Luz no Caminho-Associacao Espiritualista completes twenty-five years of existence. Daura Silva Franc, after years of work and dedication to the Arunachala Group in Brazil, finally succeeded in founding an Ashrama in Rio de Janeiro on May 3rd, 1972. She fulfilled her mission with forty-nine friends who signed the Articles of Association of A Luz no Caminho-Associacao Espiritualista. Since that day, our "House," as we gently call the Ashrama, has been proclaiming Maharshi's teachings. The Advaita doctrine, through Self- enquiry (Atma Vichara) as an instrument for realization, is the focus of our prayers and meetings. In addition to the Ashrama, our Center also maintains a house to serve the aged, named "Case de Ramana" (Ramana House for the Old People). At present, seven elderly ladies reside there. The preparations for the Silver Jubilee Commemoration of the Ashrama led us to the recollection and memories of the July 1982 issue of the Mountain Path magazine. In this issue, the Ramana devotees of the world were informed of the existence of the Ramana Center in Rio de Janeiro. This is the reason why we are once more writing to you in Arunachala Ashrama. We would be glad if through your newsletter we could share with devotees the happiness of this milestone in the history of A Luz no Caminho-Associacao Espiritualista. We pray to Ramana that His Grace may remain with us and that we may be blessed to commemorate many more 25-year anniversaries. As our Master praised Lord Arunachala, we devotees in Brazil, fixing our gaze on his graceful eyes, repeat His verses: Whoever can find You? The eye of the eye is Thou, that without eyes can see me, Oh Arunachala! >From my home Thou have taken me and soon, penetrating into my Heart, Thou have brought me within Yourself. So great is Thy Grace, Oh Arunachala!" Sincerely, Nelson Lara dos Reis President advaitin, "Frederico S. Gonzales" <fsg@s...> wrote: And yes I am brazilian.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Namaste, Sunder That´s very nice. My indian friend (I could call him my guru but I feel him more like my spiritual friend) with whom I used to have satsang is going back to India by the end of this year. But I´ll try my best to continue the meetings with the other students using some portuguese material to study and discuss. I´ll also translate some postings of this list for our discussions.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Greetings Krshnan, I feel indeed blessed to have found my Guru. It happened by accident, almost. Of course there is no such thing as randomness. I feel very blessed to be able to learn with Him. One year and half after I met Him, my asthma got completely cured after one meditation with Him. I had suffered of severe asthma for 18 years, since my present birth. At that meditation he traced back a previous life in which I had been killed by suffocating poison. I saw that life with my inner eye, and afterwards I felt incredibly light in my body. I did not know that my asthma was cured until I asked him and he said that probably my asthma had gone away because the traumatic memory of that death had been wiped out of my mental body. Some time later He told me the best path for me was what He calls the "hammer-stroke path", which is Bhakti. Now my quest is just this: as my Bhakti to Him increases, my ego is dissolved and I become Him. This is the deity-practice (Guru-Yoga or Yidam) and this has been my practice for some two years now. Search for the Guru who will direct you. Nothing is random! You will find Him. Just search. I believe all happens in due time. When I met my Guru I said to Him that I should have met Him 4 years before, because then I would have avoided some problems I had with my family, but He told me all happens in due time -- not before, not after. It happens just in the right time. May the time of your finding your Teacher be near. Om! - av krshnan advaitin Sunday, December 07, 2003 5:37 AM Re: correction respected fred, you have found your guru. that itself is a great attainment. now on, the more you persevere, the more you will advance. the guru needed to direct you onwards on this path, you already have got. and you already have begun the journey. what more can one ask of God! that way, i am far far below you on the quest scale. you are indeed blessed. a.v.krshnan. ______________________ BT Broadband - Save £80 when you order online today.
