Bøger af Sri Ramana Maharshi

Ramana Maharshi was one of the most significant spiritual teachers to emerge from India. This title presents a collection of conversations between him and the many seekers who came to his ashram for guidance. It contains the essence of his teaching.

Who am I? is the title given to a set of questions and answers bearing on Self-enquiry. The questions were put to Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi by Sri M. Sivaprakasam Pillai, about the year 1902. Sri Pillai, a graduate in philosophy, was at the time employed in the Revenue Department of the South Arcot Collectorate. During his visit to Tiruvannamalai in 1902 on official work, he went to Virupaksha Cave on Arunachala Hill and met the Maharshi there. He sought from him spiritual guidance and solicited answers to questions relating to Self-enquiry. As Bhagavan was not talking then, not because of any vow he had taken but because he did not have the inclination to talk, he answered questions put to him by writing. As recollected and recorded by Sri Sivaprakasam Pillai, there were thirteen questions and answers to them given by Bhagavan. This record was first published by Sri Pillai in 1923 (in the original Tamil), along with a couple of poems composed by himself relating how Bhagavan's grace operated in his case by dispelling his doubts and by saving him from a crisis in life.

The original narrative of Ramana Maharishi, the work from the earliest days, written by his hand, and his words written by others, when he was little known - only to those who were drawn by the power of his (his) spirit, and not by the famous and popularity of the great guru. Their value is therefore unique. The words that came before us came out of the silence of complete revival in which Ramana stayed for more than two decades. He did not have pupils at that time, and he rarely responded to the questions of rare followers, sometimes writing his finger in the sand. Thus, these messages were created, without any desire for affirmation, as the immediate and harmless answer of the absolute spirit, which is everything, and whose personification was Ramana, to those who think they are individuals.
