David Godman has lived in India since 1976, mostly in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. He spent his time there studying and practising the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. His anthology of Ramana Maharshi's teachings, Be As You Are, is probably the most widely read book on Sri Ramana's teachings. During his fourteen-year stay at Ramanasramam (1978-92) he managed the ashram's library, catalogued its archives, and recorded the stories and experiences of devotees who had had direct contact with Sri Ramana.

David is the authorized biographer of two devotees of Sri Ramana Maharshi (Lakshmana Swamy and Papaji) who realized the Self in Sri Ramana's presence and who later went on to become gurus themselves.

He has written and published several other books that contain first-person accounts of devotees who moved closely with Sri Ramana Maharshi and who were transformed by his power and presence.

In collaboration with two Tamil scholars, T. V. Venkatasubramanian and Robert Butler, he translated and edited several Tamil texts including two authoritative collections of Ramana Maharshi's teachings that were originally recorded in Tamil verse. The three of them joined forces to bring out David's most recent book, Sorupa Saram, a translation of a poem in which a 15th century Tamil saint and Guru, Sorupananda, speaks authoritatively of his experience of the Self.

In the 1970s David frequented Nisargadatta Maharaj's satsangs in Mumbai. In the 1980s he was a regular visitor to the ashram of Lakshmana Swamy and Saradamma in Andhra Pradesh. When they moved to Tiruvannamalai in the early 1990s, he helped them to establish and landscape their new property at the foot of Arunachala, the holy mountain where Sri Ramana Maharshi spent all his adult life. For four years in the 1990s he lived with Papaji in Lucknow and ended up writing or editing five books about him.

In recent years he has written several long articles on Tamil saints, particularly those whose lives and works were often cited by Sri Ramana Maharshi. He is also engaged in a book-length project to bring out the biography and poetry of Guhai Namasivaya, a 16th century Tamil saint who lived on Arunachala and wrote extensively about its power and greatness.

Books: Be as You Are: The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi (Compass) No mind, I am the self: The lives and teachings of Sri Lakshmana Swamy and Mathru Sri Sarada Living By the Words of Bhagavan: a biography of Annamalai Swami, a close devotee of Sri Ramana Maharshi Papaji Interviews: an anthology of interviews that Papaji gave to foreign visitors in the early 1990s Nothing Ever Happened(three volumes): a 1,200-page biography of H. W. L. Poonja, also known as 'Papaji'. Final Talks - Annamalai Swami- teaching dialogues between Annamalai Swami and visitors to his ashram, recorded in the last six months of his life. The Power of the Presence (Part One)(three volumes): chapter-long accounts by devotees of Sri Ramana Maharshi that record their experiences of living with and being transformed him. The Power of the Presence (Part Two) The Power of the Presence (Part Three) Padamalai: Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi: Recorded by Muruganar Ramana Puranam- an edited and annotated 540-line poem that was jointly composed by Ramana Maharshi and Muruganar. The Fire of Freedom, Satsang with Papaji (The Fire of Freedom, Volume 1)- dialogues between Papaji and visitors that took place in his Lucknow home in 1991. Guru Vachaka Kovai (The Garland of Guru's Sayings)- a translation of 1,254 verses, recorded in Tamil by Muruganar, that record Ramana Maharshi's teachings.

Anthony de Mello - Freestyle Art - Stripping Down the "I"

2016-06-20T01:28:06.159Z

Published on Oct 16, 2015

This is a Time Compression (~1hr of hand painting compressed into about 14 minutes) of a Freestyle Art Session (I didn't know how it would turn out and wont watch it in it's entirety until it's uploaded) in tribute to Mr. Anthony de Mello, a great spiritual teacher.

What you're watching is me (Vikter "MJ" Bang) trace his image into a work of Freestyle Art (Freestyle Art is one take all mistakes included and I don't even know how it will turn out).

It's worth your while to find and listen to his teachings as they are just as relevant today as they were when he did workshops in the '80's. Awareness, Awareness, Awareness.

He is a light and a great speaker that did wonders within his workshops. I still listen to his audio all the time and hope that this introduces him to another generation and keeps his work as alive as he is now. Look him up and listen to his MP3's. You will be challenged and benefit from his wisdom, candor, humor and clear ways of communication.

He was instrumental in my awareness and this is a tribute to him. More to come (I have other Freestyle Art Session planned) and peace to you Mr. de Mello!

To his family and followers, this is in no way trying to capitalize on his works or teachings, I simply wanted to share his words in creative ways and I'm not claiming any rights to anything. All Rights belong to Mr. DeMello respectfully. Peace to all and ask yourself who is the "I" reading these words.

"The Vik Bang Theory "and "The Sequel" coming soon. Look out. I'm still here!

Ramana Maharshi - Abide As The Self

2013-12-29T05:25:07.427Z

Published on Jun 7, 2012

Abide As the Self is a transforming video that takes you on an inner journey into the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and the path of Self-knowledge.

Comprehensive film footage of Ramana comes alive, with emphasis on the teachings of Self-Inquiry and its practical application.

A special collection of rare photographs enhances Ramana's presence and captures the compassion and grace of one of the most respected sages of our time.

The inspired narration by Ram Dass provides an overview of Ramana's teachings. Also included are interviews with H.W.L. Poonja, Douglas Harding, Allan W. Anderson, and others.

In Abide As the Self, you will experience how the profound teachings of Ramana Maharshi can be easily applied in our daily life.

This is a deeply inspiring video in which the sage Ramana speaks directly to your heart. "Abide As the Self skillfully interweaves old and new still photographs, excerpts from Ramana's writings, interviews with longtime devotees, narration by Ram Dass, and, not least, rare and precious footage of Ramana from 1935 to 1949.

Highly recommended." Yoga Journal

"The presence of the great Indian sage Ramana Maharshi, his clear approach to Self-Realization, and the teachings of Self-Inquiry are beautifully presented.

Interviews and exceptional film footage of Ramana Maharshi make this video an inspiring and transforming experience." New Renaissance Bookshop

"The video concludes with the encouraging words of Ram Dass, who tells us that Maharshi's message is not Indian but universal: the peace that illuminates the heart and mind is always present.

Anyone curious about this aspect of Eastern spirituality will find this informative and interesting video worthwhile and surprisingly accessible to general viewers.

Recommended." Video Librarian "Bhagavan was always silent, that is everyone's true nature . . . In this quietness the mind will automatically return to its source and there will be a tremendous fountain of peace. All doubts are cleared and one remains quiet, in the heart." H.W.L. Poonja
