Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Dear Venugopalji, Thank you very much for your correction. I corrected the name in the website. I hope I am doing something interesting and useful to my targeted users like yourself. I am planning to expand the site to include as much related info as possible. I am also planning a full website on Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. That will be coming soon. I am trying to fill as much of time as possible in work that is someway related to my sadhana, so that I will have no spare time to distract me.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Dear Shri Adithya, Greetings. I am a humble admirer of Shri Ramana Maharishi and also Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj. I am planning to visit Shri Ramanashram in Tiruvannamalai, shortly. I had already requested for a meeting with David Godman and he has readily agreed. There is one called adisankaracharya . There one Shri Pradeep has posted an e-book on Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj. He has prepared this book by reading nine books on/of Shri nisargadatta Maharaj. I had requested him to post one copy to your site. I am attaching one copy with this letter for your personal use. Wishing you all succerss.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Dear Sangha, Thank you so much for this. Now I have more to read.I read this from Nisargadattas teacher... " ...Ignorance has come by hearing it over and over for generations. Only by practicing and hearing otherwise, the truth, from the teachings of the Master(s) and thinking over it, just like the bird flies from one tree to another, one can attain Final Reality very fast. " This makes sense to me, to expose myself to more and more of the teachings. Make more time reading about truth and going to satsangs. It came to me also that with the computer, it's as good as having a living guru reminding me and lifting the veils that cover what I know, what I always knew. So many good teachers giving satsangs on Youtube, for example , and lots of texts to read, old and new. So many activities seem useless. They will not help me to reach the final goal, Nirvikalpa Samadhi. I don't have children and don't desire to work much..so have alot of time to keep exposing the mind to truth. With the aid of the great computer, consciousness in another amazing form. Does anyone know how much reading Ramana did in his years of seclusion? I know he loved Adi Shankaracharya.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Dear Soulyoginima, Sri Ramana did not do much reading on Advaita at first as he was mostly in samadhi. When his consciousness normalized, he started doing some reading. In the beginning he started reading to his attendant Paliniswami, who found it difficult to read and understand and make things out. Sri Ramana is one of those sages who became Self-Realized and only afterwards discovered that Advaitic scriptures and works of Sri Sankra were describing his realization. In that way, his Self-Realization is the most mysterious as it came upon him spontaneously. Reading is an activity. Listening is an activity. Thinking is an activity. All these are actions. Sri Krishna has said that it is not action but attachment to action that binds us. Action cannot be given up by will as it is according to our karma. Some people are bound to engage in action. Others do not have to because it is not their karma or destiny. Most sages go through a period of seclusion and quiet giving up all activity except reflection and contemplation which becomes natural. Nirvikalpa Samadhi usually results from one pointed meditation and inquiry with reverence and devotion over a long period. Sri Ramana has said that once someone has grasped the essential teaching, they need not go on reading and reading. The thing is to meditate on the essence of knowledge within oneself. You should read " Talks with Ramana Maharshi " . Too many teachers and too many books can be confusing. There is saying that if you dig one hole deep, you strike water. If you dig many little holes, it may not lead to water. The goal in Sri Ramana's teaching is Sahaj Samadhi. Nirvikalpa Samadhi reveals the Sahaj state. Sahaj means natural. To be who you are naturally and spontaneously is the Sahaj state. Yours in Bhagavan Love to all Harsha soulyoginima wrote: > Dear Sangha, > > Thank you so much for this.
