Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 From Padamalai- Bhagavan's Utterances as recorded by Muruganar, the great Tamil poet who was Self Realised through Bhagavan's Grace. Padam's* Power P.6 V.26 The effulgent, silent Padam* destroys forgetfulness of the Self, the mind, which is the taproot for the succession of afflictions. *Padam may be defined as the lotus FEET of the formless Bhagavan still alive in the Devotee's heart as his own Self. Note: The book Padamalai translated by Robert Butler and Dr.T.V.Venkatasubra mianian and edited by David Godman is a marvellous book with Ramana's teachings set in aphoristic form with commentaries for the more mature sadhak. It is available from the Ashram Book Depot or Amazon. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
