Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Dear Members, Source: Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi Talk 78. DEVOTEE: How to find the Atman? Bhagawan Ramana Maharishi : There is no investigation into the Atman. The investigation can only be into the non-self. Elimination of the non-self is alone possible. The Self being always self evident will shine forth of itself. The Self is called by different names - Atman, God, Kundalini, mantra, etc. Hold any one of them and the Self becomes manifest. God is no other than the Self. Kundalini is now showing forth as the mind. When the mind is traced to its source it is Kundalini. Mantra japa leads to elimination of other thoughts and to concentration on the mantra. The mantra finally merges into the Self and shines forth as the Self. Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan : Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Regards --------------------- If you have any questions or doubts concerning Spirituality, Mental peace or problems in life or about dharma, please write to us by clicking here: http://www.namadwaar.org/answers/askquestion.php His Holiness Sri Sri Swamiji personally answers these questions for you and suggests prayers. --------------------- For more Namakirtan articles please visit http://guruandnamakirtan.blogspot.com/ ______________________________\ ____ Choose the right car based on your needs.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Dear Sri Ravishankar,The identification of the jeevatma and paratma as being one in the context of this posting is not at all conforming to any of the Vaishnava sampradayas, what to speak of the Vedas themselves? I would request that you clarify this matter with your guru before continuing on in this vein.Thank you.adiyenMohanModeratorOn 8/16/07, Ravishankar Gopal <ravishankar_g wrote: Dear Members, Source: Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi Talk 78.
