You are bursting out of me
In all directions
I wake up
And sing out
Your praises
As soon as I know
I have lips
Again. Continue reading

In the Jaws of the Beloved Tiger: By Dr. Evan Keith
I do not know when I first learned of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. I know that at most he was little more than a name to me before my eighteenth birthday and only in the last year has he become of central importance to me. In fact, now I think of Bhagavan as my Guru. Bhagavan never did formal initiation of anyone as a devotee and never even referred to anyone as being or not being his devotee. Nevertheless, he sometimes mentioned that most people needed a guru to overcome their ancient tendencies and “realize” the Self. Sometimes Bhagavan would allude to the Self, itself, or in particular the mountain Arunachala as having been his Guru. In this respect, Bhagavan Ramana is my Sadguru and I am His devotee.

Nirvikalpa Samadhi – Two Different Perspectives: By Dr. Harsh K. Luthar
Harsh K. Luthar
Question On 01/20/2000 From Gausima
I accidentally found this on the internet while searching for something else, and was wondering what type of Nirvikalpa Samadhi it was referring to and if anyone had any knowledge of this.
“once an ordinary person achieves Nirvikalpa Samadhi, he leaves the body in 21 days.” In the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, on page 245, it says, “Trailanga Swami once said that because a man reasons he is conscious of multiplicity, of variety. Attaining samadhi, one gives up the body in twenty-one days. . . ” (Ramakrishna was talking to his devotees.)
Namaste,
Gasusima

Bhagavan Ramana as a Classical Sanksrit Poet: Sri Ramana’s Contribution to Uma Sahasram
Bhagavan Ramana
Devotees of Bhagavan are aware only of his famous ‘Upadesa Saram’ and a few isolated verses as His contributions to Sanskrit, the ‘Language of the Gods’. So it is necessary to place on record His contribution to the famous ‘Uma Sahasram’ — thousand verses on Uma, the Divine Mother sung by His great disciple, the learned Sri Kavyakanta Ganapati Muni. This story shows the Maharshi as the joint author of this composition. Continue reading

The Holy Task of Self-Realization: By Alan Jacobs
We must never lose sight of the Holy Task, that of Self Knowledge, or Self-Realization.
This is the main thrust of Bhagavan Ramana’s teaching. Bhagavan leaves to us to make intelligent use of our lives as we follow his teachings of self awareness and being a witness to all that is happening. Following his guidance and example, we discover the God or Guru within; the Inner Ruler, the Heart. Continue reading
