While scripture can be potent medicine for the disease of samsara, spiritual stories are like delicious sweets giving us a direct and effortless taste of sublime spiritual truths. Ramana Mahrshi was a master chef who provided a dine feast for his devotees. Timeless parables and epic tales came alive and his gracious words and inimitable dramatizations. “Such was the attraction of these stories,†said Kunju Swami, “that when we heard Sri Bhagavan beginning a ...

Adi Sankara and other great Sages wrote several works like the commentary on the Vedanta Sutras and thus furnished the methods for those engaged in Self-enquiry to accomplish their purpose.

In this work the author has explained how Ignorance obscures the true nature of the Self which is non-dual only; how by its ...

Instead of making a vain attempt to give a brief autobiography of the reknown Sage Sri Ramana Maharshi one is tempted to reproduce the glorious tribute Paul Brunton (A Search In Secret India) has paid.

"I pluck golden fruit from rare meetings with wise men," wrote trans-Atlantic Emerson in his diary, and it is certain that I plucked whole basketfuls during my talks with ...
