After six years of solitude, Indian sage Ramana Maharshi reflects on the topics of peace, the self, and silence—featuring a foreword by Carl Jung

The renowned Indian sage Ramana Maharshi is widely beloved—by Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, Taoists, and more—for the inspirational power of his teachings, which transcend all religious differences.

Here is a collection of Sri Ramana’s instructions and discourses culled from three works: Who Am I?, Spiritual Instructions, and Maharshi’s Gospel. These teachings are arranged by topics such as work and renunciation, silence and solitude, peace and happiness, and the discipline of self-inquiry. Reading this book, presented in question-and-answer format, evokes the feeling of being with this outstanding teacher at one of his intimate teaching sessions.

About the Author

Ramana Maharshi (1879–1950) was one of the greatest spiritual teachers of modern-day India. At the age of seventeen he attained a profound experience of the true Self. After some years of silent seclusion he finally began to reply to the questions put to him by spiritual seekers all over the world. Though he wrote little, his many conversations and verbal teachings were recorded by followers.

¡My FAVORITE! ..My first Scripture of this divine Master
......"It was in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1982 when in the "Thekes" bookstore, for the first time i held a book of this sublime sage 'Ramana, the Maharishi' of South India" When i opened the book & saw His direct gaze towards me. All of a sudden I felt His spiritual Presence that immersed me in an unexpected state of heavenly Bliss! In that ecstatic rapture i 'felt' powerfully, that He called me there, as His devotee, which i totally accepted at that moment. -And even my present legal name, is testimony of my blessed conversion, since February 1982, which changed my Life & gave me the most profound blessings, ever since. But anyway, since here i am supposed to share my review of this spiritual Scripture ..i can declare that it's my most favorite transformative book in the world. It's perfect for mature & sincere seekers of the ultimate everlasting Peace. -They, like me ..might begin the most fruitful journey of their Life! For those destined for reading this mystical scripture ..will find it's words, very clear, understandable & profound. -Never an ambiguous intelectual reading. -On the contrary! Any info about my personal experiences in the ancient Wisdom of India since the 1970's, you can check my profile, here in Amazon. -Good luck! & many Blessings!

A man of amazing insight into our essence. He with seeming effortlessness explains who we are and who we are not directly and with metaphor. I know that I will be reading this book from cover to cover, a day at a time, for more than one cycle. I have a feeling that each new reading will open something new, or maybe soften something old that is not really working for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ramana Teaching
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2012
Verified Purchase
While reading other works of Ramana, such as Talks, this is the best I have read as a succinct overview of his Teaching, and of Advaita (NonDuality). Each segment is an introduction to one vital aspect of the over-all Teaching, and each segment brief enough to be read in a matter of minutes. Reading Ramana is like sitting in the Presence of True Holiness: the spirit through the writings, that of Ramana and others like him, enhacing the wisdom and impressing it mysteriously upon the Heart: or as Ramana would say, the Guru pushing from without, the Guru pulling from within. OM Shanti

Sri Ramana sums up the principal things which the Spirit of India has accumulated during thousands of years in contemplation of yhr Inner Self. The individual life and work of the Maharshi exemplifies the innermost striving of the Indian people to find the liberating original Source.

3.0 out of 5 stars In too deep...............
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2009
Verified Purchase
"The Spiritual Teaching of Ramana Maharshi" may be of inestimable value to intermediate and advanced spiritual seekers, but, without equivocation, most of the messages in this book are way, way over my head. While learning about this saint from other sources including some videos, it is apparent to me that he is extremely advanced and is therefore in such an exulted state that presenting truths to an exceptionally untried seeker (like myself) may be a bit challenging; akin to Stephen Hawking describing "M Theory" to a frog. In many ways this work is congruent with "The Holy Science" in as much as it reads like an auto repair manual. Also, I'm not typically a great fan of dialectic (i.e. question and answer) type of works - they just seem cumbersome.

I'm sure that this book will have much value to other readers that are more spiritually mature than I am, but for me 3 stars on the board and a real 2.5 is all I can give.

Wer wissen will, wer er eigentlich ist, findet in diesem Buch essentielle Hinweise. Ramana Maharshi weist den Weg, wie das eigene Selbst zu finden ist. Was ist die Charakteristik dieses Selbst? Was bedeutet es aus dem Selbst zu leben? Das Buch gibt die Antworten.

Wer nach den Anweisungen des Buches aus dem Selbst lebt, meistert sein Leben und ist sich bewusst, dass er reines Bewusstsein ist, dem als Instrumente ein gesunder Körper und ein glasklarer Intellekt zur Verfügung stehen.

Ramana Maharshi lehrt direkt aus der kosmischen Innenschau, unabhängig von Lehrmeinungen und religiösen Ansichten. Er veranschaulicht im Buch sein Wissen mit Zitaten aus der Fülle des Vedanta.
