Ramana Maharshi’s experience of enlightenment was not as simple as his devotees have assumed. Ramana’s own interpretations of his experience were influenced by non-traditional Hindu ideas of living liberation (jivanmukti), as well as by Western sources like Madame Blavatsky’s theosophy, and even by Christian sources. Some of these influences came from his disciple Ganapati Muni, as well his early the biographers Frank H. Humphreys, B.V. Narasimha Iyer and Paul Brunton. All of these people later sought other gurus. Brunton later admitted that he used Ramana as a “peg” for his own ...

What is liberation? How does the mind become still? What is happiness? Who am I? is the title of a series of 28 questions and answers that Sri M. Shivaprakasham Pillai asked the Indian master Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi around 1902. He visited the master in a cave on Mount Arunachala in southern India and asked for spiritual guidance. It is recorded that Ramana Maharshi answered these questions in Tamil, the language he was familiar with.

From reader reviews: Best book on Ramana Maharshi. I've been a student of Ramana's since 1962 and have read many of his books including these 40 verses… I would say this is the best book on his teachings. Another review: A simple guide to Self-inquiry. Since it is a personal experience, words are inadequate to express it . But they may guide you. Richard Clarke's work enables a non-Tamilian to learn what the Maharshi said. In Forty Verses on Reality, Ramana Maharshi explains the nature of the Self, the ultimate reality, and Self-inquiry as the direct method to realize the Self. This new ...

Gambhiram Seshaier was a Municipal Overseer at Tiruvannamalai about 1900. He became a devotee of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi who was then living at the Virupaksha cave on the Arunachala Hill. A student of yoga, he was especially interested in Swami Vivekananda’s lectures on Raja Yoga, Jnana Yoga, etc. Finding some difficulty in understanding these and similar books, he brought them to the Maharshi for elucidation. Sri Bhagavan then went through each of them and wrote out in easy Tamil prose the gist of these works on bits of paper and answered supplementary questions put by Seshaier. ...

Sri Ramana es un auténtico hijo, de su tierra India. Auténtico, y además, completamente excepcional. En la India, él es el punto más blanco de un espacio blanco. Para el hindú, está claro que el Ser, el ser mismo de uno en cuanto a fuente espiritual, no es diferente de Dios; y en la medida en que el hombre permanece en su ser, no sólo está contenido en Dios, sino que es Dios mismo. Respecto de esto, Sri Ramana es clarísimo. Sri Ramana declara sin lugar a dudas que el verdadero propósito de la práctica espiritual es la disolución del “yo”. Las relaciones cambiantes entre las...

From a reader: Expands on perhaps the most powerful book ever "Who Am I?" by Ramana. extremely helpful to clarify certain ideas. Perhaps the biggest for me was that when Ramana was talking about the heart, he wasn't talking about the actual heart, but a place where thoughts come from. I also really like that Richard has included Practices for each section of the book for us to put into practical application. From another reader: Great for someone learning about Ramana Maharshi and Self-inquiry. Explains Ramana's teaching in ordinary language. Also I found the practice notes to be a great ...

Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi’s life itself is Upadesa. His every action, His every movement was the eternal Upadesa — the Golden Silence.

Al escribir este libro, he tratado de que su significado fuese claro, sin emplear más palabras extranjeras que las necesarias. Sin embargo, cada idioma contiene palabras que no poseen un equivalente directo con las de otra lengua, y cada ciencia, tanto las espirituales como las físicas, atesoran términos técnicos que apenas permiten su traducción. Por lo tanto, fue preciso usar cierto número de palabras sánscritas y de otro origen. Todas ellas son debidamente explicadas en el texto y, para dar una idea aproximada de su pronunciación, se agregó un Glosario. Puesto que me propuse ...

Do you think there is a force behind the order and laws of Nature and everything in the universe? Do you feel with utter conviction that you are aware of a vastly superior intelligence? Einstein and Ramana Maharshi felt both of these things with certainty. Einstein had a sceptic’s curiosity which was transformed into awe when he perceived the unfathomable vastly superior intelligent force behind Nature’s laws. He also believed in predeterminism in that “We all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player.
