Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 How would you recommend for spiritual aspirant to begin walking the path instructed by Ramana Maharshi, if teacher is not present, things like books, articles, daily sadhana etc...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Dear Lior, My suggestion is that you could get an overview from David Godman's 'Be As You Are' this will lead you into Ramana's Talks and Collected Works .If you go to the Ramanasramam main site [linked to this site] you'll find lists of books and some downloadables . Which country are you in ? Don't be concerned about no Teacher .The Satguru is there within your Heart and guidance comes from both within and without to the sincere, earnest aspirant . I expect others will write to you as well . Best wishes and regards, in His Grace, Alan How would you recommend for spiritual aspirant to begin walking the path instructed by Ramana Maharshi, if teacher is not present, things like books, articles, daily sadhana etc...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Dear Lior, as about books - Alan already answered. If you are living inside EU there is also an Online-Library now which has been started to be built up, to lend books about Bhagavan and his teaching. It is found as download in the files-section and will be announced here once a month. Sharing with devotees is of much help ... Also our regular Friday chatroom has turned out a wonderful possibility, where one can ask questions and share about the path or whatever may arise. Also one can ask on the group or share here. Most of all full trust in Ramana is needed - for the beginning, middle and end of the path. He will guide in the way he chooses. yours in Sri Ramana Gabriele RamanaMaharshi, "liorviz" <liorviz> wrote: > > How would you recommend for spiritual aspirant to begin walking the > path instructed by Ramana Maharshi, if teacher is not present, things > like books, articles, daily sadhana etc... > > Thanks, > Lior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Ramana is still with us but I am sure he would have wanted us to have satsangh with a living guru. In the US there are a number of gurus in the advaita tradition but in India today there don't seem to be any to my knowledge. So I am addressing this question to the forum,"Do you guys know of any living advaita gurus in India?.If so do they teach in silence and what are your experiences with this guru?". I live in India, so I am interested in the teachers who live in India. In Bhagavan, alakeshwar Take Mail with you!

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Dear Lior, A good idea imo would be to read Maharshi's "Who am I" as soon as possible and get started with Atma Vichara. In Ramana's time this was also suggested to newcomers. In addition by reading about Maharshi's beautiful life you can develop Bhakti and aid your sadhana by doing japa of the mantra Om Shri Bhagavate Aruanchala Ramanaye. Its amazing grace to be drawn towards Maharshi.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 This an answer I got for a similar question number 10085 (there are many more answers there) "Om namo bhagavathe sri ramanaya. Dear all, This is satheesh kumar here. thought will share some information regarding people who have realized thro the Grace of Bhagavan,and are physically present now..Most of you could be knowing ,still may be it will be useful for some devotees. Sri Lakshmana Swami lives in Thiruvannamalai and he is supposed to be realized and he himself has explained (Refer book by Sri David godman)how he has been taken hold by the master. Similarly ,Smt.Kanakammaal has learned and practiced Vichara under Sri Muruganar and has written commentaries on the works of Bhagavan as suggested by Muruganar.She lives in the Ashram. Sri Dheenanathan who is a devotee of Janaki Matha(who has been referred by Bhagavan himself as having attained realization),is staying in Thanjavur(6 hours from Madras),and he has written a commentary on Kaivalya Navaneetham(Cream of Emancipation) and is available to people who have doubts/difficulties in their sadhana. So may be this information could be useful to atleast few people who can meet the above mentioned disciples of Bhagavan if ordained likewise by Bhagavan..
