Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 > >>> >>>>> Dear Members:There is an excellent book on the practice of Atma Vichara.It was written, initially on scraps of paper from a cave on a mountain in South India, by a boy who had no name. These papers were collected and assembled into a small book, written in Question and Answer form. It was an ideal book, so cheap that even the poorest soul on the face of this earth could afford it, and if not it was frequently given away for free. As it was written in small chunks, it was easily assimilated. It was around the beginning of the twentieth century and about two decades later the ‘boy’ —now a healthy man in middle age— collated the questions and answers and turned them into an essay. Thus the ripe and focussed sadhaka could flow into the practice in one smooth sweep.The boy, or man, or grandfather never really had a name at all, but he came to be known as Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, by which appellation he is know to this very day.The name of the mountain is Sri Arunachala...and the book? Oh yes... it was, and is, called..Who Am I?It is very cheap, even to this day, and it is still the best manual to use for the practice, and it is still frequently given away.Lest we forget...anbudanJohnOm Namo Bhagavathe Sri Ramanaaya Siva—Siva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
