My name is Richard. I am a seeker, practicing Self-inquiry. I am taught by two Sages, Nome and Russ. They have been teaching Self-inquiry in the San Francisco Bay area for more than 25 years, at SAT (The Society of Abidance in Truth) in Santa Cruz. The focus of their teaching is very much on Self-inquiry as taught by Ramana Maharshi. They both came to Self-Realization through Self-inquiry.
The Sun, The Moon, and Mantra: By Linda Callanan
Yoga and Vedic Astrology share the same philosophical roots, which are believed to date back at least 10,000 years. Originally, one could not study or work with Vedic Astrology unless he was also a practitioner of yoga. The sharing of these two disciplines has left us with a system that contains large amounts of planetary knowledge as well as techniques that help to harmonize the planetary energies.

The Thin Red Line: Film and Nonduality. A Review by Berit Ellingsen
The kind of narratives that first leap to mind when thinking about film and nonduality, would be the biographical presentation of a specific teacher, his/her life teaching. The second type of story to communicate nonduality on film, would be the chronicle of a person’s discovery of nonduality and the impact this made on life. However, a movie could also be nondual in form without having nonduality as direct content or story line.

My personal interest in spirituality, my own experiences with spiritual practices, and the transpersonal experiences I’ve had fuel my interest in learning more about the relationship of spirituality to the workplace.

How I Found My Way to Ramana: By Gabriele Ebert
First to give a short introduction of me: I am living in Germany and I am a librarian in a school library. Besides that, I am working on a biography in the German language about Sri Ramana, which isn’t yet finished and is meant for publishing. This work helps me a lot to gain more insight into Sri Ramana’s life and teaching – and is also a form of meditation and surrender.

Natural Yoga is Living Yoga: By James Traverse
OneDual Intelligence – Intuition and Intellect
Natural Yoga is when identification with the movement of the mind is absent.
It is the unity of Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga that honours the original intention
of the ancient sages. Yoga is supremely beneficial physically, and, it is a means
to uplift one’s consciousness and attune spiritually.
Natural Yoga is composed of classical yoga poses, guided relaxation,
meditation, and the exploration of living answers to living questions.
Practitioners of all levels benefit from the group setting, the diversity of
the postures, and Nisarga’s particular emphasis on the Art of Listening.

A Journey from Advaita to Buddhism: By Upasika Bach Lien
I remember when I used to do the exercise, “I Am”.
For years I did that exercise. I thought it would lead me to the discovery of who or what I was. There was “Who Am I?,” “I Am That” and “Thou Art That.” I did those exercises for a long time. I loved Ramana Maharshi and Nisargatta Maharaj and Ramesh Balsekar, the great non-dualists who propound those exercises. They certainly found out a lot about who they were. I read their books with a fervor and I adored the way I felt when I read them and I was propelled into a tremendous longing to find out what they found. And I was assured that this particular wanting was OK because it was about the one thing that matters; who “I” am. That wanting was real strong. And it made me happy because I felt like I could know. After all, those guys, they knew!
