Muruganar Książki

Padamalai contains well over a thousand teaching statements made by Sri Ramana Maharshi, none of which has appeared in English before. They were recorded in two-line Tamil verses by Muruganar, one of Sri Ramana’s foremost devotees. It was at Muruganar’s behest that Sri Ramana composed both Ulladu Narpadu and Upadesa Undiyar, two of his principal philosophical works. Muruganar himself composed Guru Vachaka Kovai, an extensive and authoritative compilation of Sri Ramana’s sayings that was personally checked and revised by Sri Ramana himself.The original Tamil poem from which these statements have been taken had no structure at all. It was simply 3,059 random verses. Some of them praised Sri Ramana, some of them expressed Muruganar’s gratitude to Sri Ramana for granting him liberation, but the majority contained renderings of his teachings. The editors and translators have arranged these verses thematically, organising them into topics such as ‘Self-enquiry’, ‘The Guru and the Jnani’, ‘The Self’, and so on. To supplement the text and to provide a commentary on it the editors have added many other quotations by Bhagavan.

This powerful collection of quotes offers profound insights on experiencing the true Self, characterized by Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss, while effectively ending the suffering caused by the impostor self. Unlike many works on Self-realization, which stem from conceptual knowledge, the sages featured here lived in the infinite, sharing wisdom rooted in direct experience. The quotes serve as doorways to liberation and loving transmissions from the Infinite Self. When distractions arise, these quotes can inspire and guide you back on your path to Awakening.
