Dear All,

Special Question: Will the Maharshi express an opinion about the future of the world, for we are living in critical times?”

Sri Ramana Maharshi:

“Why should you trouble yourself about the future?” demands the Sage. “You do not even properly know about the present! Take care of the present; the future will then take care of itself.”

“There is One who governs the world, and it is His lookout to look after the world. He who…

Dear All,

   

In our scriptures, it is said that during the process of creation from the Supreme Brahman, the space ('Akasha') came first and sound is the property of the 'Akasha'. From that came air, and from air came fire, from fire came water and from water, earth.



Sound is an abstraction that is closest to the Supreme Brahman.



We employ different means to worship the Supreme Brahman. We… Continue

Happy Diwali to All my brothers & Sisters.....



DEEPAVALI or Diwali means "a row of lights". It falls on the last two days of the dark half of Kartik (October-November). For some it is a three-day festival.

Good Morning to all of you and have divine blessed day ahead....



The practice of other forms of atonement cannot bring total purification. This is shown by the fact that through their observances the mind is not cured of its addiction to evil and is again drawn towards the path of evil.



Therefore, those who seek total liberation from the influence of sin should adopt Chanting the divine names of Lord. The heart of the person will be totally purified… Continue

Dear all,



A certain Sannyasin (renunciate) friend of mine narrated to me a very interesting story. This Swamiji, before he retired from service and took Sannyasa, was known as Mr. Rao and was in the army where his job was to

train typists. This was in the pre-Independence days when India was ruled by the British. One of the students in Mr. Rao's class was a young Englishman named Thomas who continued to type badly despite all possible coaching. One day Mr. Rao got tired of him… Continue

Each species of the plants and animals has this evolutionary process upon one level only. Whereas you, you are a citizen of two worlds simultaneously. Having been born into this universe, man sits on the threshold of two universes. The outer universe is this gross material world. But he knows "I have not been here some time ago, and after some time I will not be here. I do not belong here." And all… Continue

Dear All,



The destiny of man as seen by these mystics is to be a similar process of going back to his source and origin. And that source and origin is a supreme state of independence, supreme state of consciousness,

transcending all vexing limitations, infinite, boundless, eternal, beyond time and space. That is the source and origin of each one of you sitting and listening to me. Within this confined,… Continue

The most rudimentary thing on earth requires a maker, a certain intelligence and power. Even a crude broom to sweep the floor in some settlement of an aboriginal tribe who lives in mud huts with thatched roofs. The people pick up dry twigs and plants, gather them… Continue
