Guest guest Posted January 26, 2000 Report Share Posted January 26, 2000 Ramana Maharshi's "Awakening" was around the age of 16 or so. He was more or less silent and spoke very little for around 11 years and his vocal cords lost some capacity. In early years, he answered mostly in writing. When his mother came for the first time, he did not speak to her but wrote a short note. After a while He gradually regained his voice and resumed normal communications. Eventually Sri Ramana's mother joined him and lived with the Sage. Harsha Hi Harsha, et al, I only recently obtained my first reading of Sri Ramana Maharshi (Be As You Are, edited by David Godman) ... my initial response was/is awe. It seems his greatest teaching was silence - for those who could understand/receive it. For the rest he added words as was necessary...(for the Self-realization impaired) <S> An editors nightmare...LOL ... a one page book. "You are awareness - there is no duality" Introduction, chapter one and epilogue - in one sentence. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
