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 ...

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 ...

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...

The story of his life is itself a profound spiritual teaching and a living example of how awakened spirit moves through the challenges of life." Born in Denmark, in 1890, Sunyata was from birth, utterly without desire, ambition and ego. Thus, the name "Sunyata"—and description of "rare-born mystic"—was given to him years later in India by the revered sage, Sri Ramana Maharshi. A lover of silence and solitude, Sunyata remained untouched by the common ...
