Talks on Sri Ramana Maharshi: Narrated by David Godman - Lakshmi the Cow
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- Lakshmi was of of the most outstanding devotees of Sri Ramana Maharshi. In this film David Godman narrates the story of her life and explains why Sri Ramana and his devotees hold her in such high esteem.
A full account of her life can be read in The Power of the Presence, part three, by David Godman.
I plan to add English, French, Spanish, German and Italian subtitles to these talks on Sri Ramana Maharshi. I have English transcripts of the talks. If anyone feels inspired to translate them into other languages, other subtitles can be added as well.

Thank you so much, David, for offering us the fruits of your passion and interest in Bhagavan's life. These videos are rare gifts.
Thank you David. This is such a lovely series on Lakshmi. Your words and stories are so comforting. I never tire of listening to you. A special person you are. Chosen by Ramana to continue the message.
Lakshmi! How blessed your life is. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story David! My love for Ramana deepens every moment of every day.
Thank you, David! One of the strongest avenues Baghavan found into my heart is through a shared love of animals. This video you’ve compiled is one of the best cases for acknowledging what is called the rights of animals, for which I have long campaigned but no longer find the anger useful. This love is beyond any body and his loving examples, even if sometimes including the appearance of anger, is the kind of movement for all creatures I dearly want to realize. These tears of joy are the start.
it's amazing to see the cows standing behind you sit down when you start narrating the story of how lakshmi started living in ashram permanently...!!!!
I express my sincerest gratitude for posting this.
Thank you, David, for these wonderful talks. I've been a Ramakrishna devotee for awhile and have become very interested in Bhagwan Ramana. I wanted a corollary to (but could not find) The Gospel Of Sri Ramakrishna which, way back when, allowed me to get to know Thakur (Ramakrishna) as a person who walked the Earth. These talks of yours are the delightful corollary I sought. Thank you for this wonderful introduction to the life of Sri Ramana Maharshi.
I love these. Listen to them every night as I fall asleep. Just wish there were more Ramana stories from David.
Blessings to you for gifting us with these treasured messages of Self Realization
Thank you for for all these talks. I love it. I am in Tiru right now so I feel I have personal tour with you. Bless you.
Thank you!
These videos of Ramana Maharshi are a life time asset for all of us to learn from the teachings of a Realised Guru
Thank you Mr. David. Your devotion is incredible.🕉🙏

Dear David Godman,

Thank You David Godman...wonderful video & narration...only an enlightened being has the power to 'see' the 'unseen'...& 'hear' the 'unspoken'...Namo shree Gurudevaya.
Davidji ... I love your narration. I am living in that time with your thorough description of the situations at that time . 🙏
Now understood, why not only cow slaughter but also killing any animal is a notorious sin.
I am a pure vegetarian, thank God
The most peaceful looking cow I've ever seen
Thank you, an amazing and beautiful story !!!
Thank you David, your videos are a true Satsang
Iam lucky to see this video to virtually walk through the golden past when Bhagawan was physically present in the Ashram.What a great work by Sri David !! . Excellent presentation ,very structured. I suggest knowledge seekers to watch other slides of Sri David to progress furthur towards self realisation.
Gracias infinitas por este reportaje tan conmovedor de Laksmi y su Liberacion..... Sri Ramana Mahjara....un Ser Unico.
Hi sir, Thanks for all of your videos on Bhagavan...
Excellent and touching story with great narration. Great work of dedication. Thank you Sir for this posting!!!
I just subscribed. I think your role is extremely important in this era. So wonderful to hear about Lakshmi and Bhagavan
Very moving. Thank you David.
Thank you very much for narrating this heartfelt story.
What a great teaching - by Sri Ramana and by Lakshmi as well. Thank you, David!
Great narrative, shared directly from the cowshed, thank you so much Dave. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. All of your videos are of great great value.
Thank you very much for this hearttouching story about Lakshmi, the soul in form of a cow. Namasté -
Though Bagavan teachings are in silence. Your collection of contents helps to clarify ourselves 🙏 thank you
This story is so beautiful,so magnificent,I can't find words to express myself further.
Thankyou David Goldman. ❤️
Thank you.

Thank you David !
The story of an amazing cow
Gratidão Infinita!
Thank you for all these beautiful stories and background information!
Thank you
So maybe my great respect and love for my dog, and desire to give her all good things, is not foolishness as everyone seems to suggest. I communicate with her in a very similar way and depth as is described with Bhagavan and Lakshmi. To be fair, I think many people do
I thoroughly enjoyed listening :) Thank You very much
Děkuji za české titulky:)
Thanks so much again.
This is such a beautiful story... I love it.
Thanks very much David.
👌💚David God man super........
Thanks David. Om peace
THANK YOU...!
Thank you so much.
Beautiful! Thank you.
Moving story, what a lucky 🐄
On the surface of this information you must admit that it seems a little farfetched.But after you have analyzed the purity & spiritual stature of RAMANA MAHARSHI,you have to conclude that he knows more about the TRUTH of this information,its backstory,than I do.SAINTS OF ALL RELIGIONS I SALUTE YOU ALL.
Thanks david
Thank you sir
Grazie di Cuore è una storia bellissima !!!
Dear David , thank you for posting these clips. Pure Gold! I plan to be in India(delhi) in late dec/jan, I am indian, settled in Australia. Any chance to chat with you about Bhagwan,
as I feel a keen desire to visit Arunachala?warm regards,
taran
Thanq David for the enlightenment. Wish every Hindu knew to spread the word avoiding conversions
Thank you dear David
Thanks a ton David. All these videos are pure gold. Would like to know, Is there any way to meet you in Tiruvanamallai, to learn more about Bhagvan's teachings.
Anoop Mondal Next time you come to Tiruvannamalai, email me just before you come and we can arrange to meet.
Es un buen recuerdo y si creo que los animales pueden trascender...son iguales que nosotros también tienen Conciencia y Amor. ♡♡♡
Great....Sachithanandam....

Om namo Bhagavathe Sri Ramanaya.
thank you for this video
Lakshmi lived 22 years
From what I have read, on one occasion, Sri Ramana told"" Realisation is possible in animals but exceedingly rare; even in Puranas how many examples have we heard like Gajendra Moksha??"".
David, your narration seem to imply that realization is possible in animals(without any condition ); in my view , that may not be an unqualified truth, from what I have stated above.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gajendra_Moksha
Thank you for sharing this story. i heard you saying in one of your videos that Ramana said that only his mother and Lakshmi were enlightened while being in his presence i wonder what about all of his devotees who loved him and followed his teachings? What about Papaji who considered Ramana his Master?
Holy cow,
I have to laugh, that Bhagavan "did it all [i.e. build the extravagant expensive cow shed building, even though he was extremely frugal] for Lakshmi" (the cow). After all, as he said, the cow was enlightened. But after all, he Bhagavan knew that money and growth of the ashram would follow from the initiative - not that he was apparently interested in that outcome.
Wonderful. Thanks so much.
David, in this video you quote from what you had written earlier about Lakshmi. I would be interested in reading that. Is it available anywhere?
There is a chapter on Lakshmi in The Power of the Presence, part three
The white cow in the background has such an uncomfortably short leash. Hope they keep it longer.
🕉🕉🕉🙏
All animals already realized.
Namo Namah Lakshmi Devi Cow
Please Upload subtitle for this video also like you uploaded for Old Hall video...Regards
He was able to Intuit any thing..cow birth means last one as an animal.. next one is as a human..but Laxhmi was released ..no more births.❤
Lakshmi Ma Ki Jay
The cows behind David are tethered on very short leads on dry land - is this usual or was this just done to provide background for the talk?
Nice observation..these cows are let out most of the day and come back for food..they are free. But I appreciate your concern
Thank you for this story.In one of your videos you said that Ramana said that only his mother and Lakshmi were enlightened while being in his presence so I wonder what about all of his devotees who followed his teachings,what about Papaji?
When a drop merges in an ocean it becomes the same..Papaji was one in That ..
Except for the loud music with jarring notes , the production of these videos are excellent. Please can you remove or tone down the volume of the music interludes ?
The musical interludes are beautiful. Try to understand the meaning even if it is not your Mother tongue language and perhaps you might appreciate it.
🙏

It makes sense the Green Granny reincarnated to Lakshmi because she wanted to live near Ramana
david where i can get that song in between the video "namo ramanaya nalam" ?
rony fedrer It's Ramana Puranam. Full details are given at the end of each film. You can order either from the Sri Ramanasramam Book Depot (which is where I got my copy) or directly from the Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning in Bangalore
David I’m curious if you’ve ever had 5-MeO-DMT or sapo from the Sonoran desert toad and your thoughts about it. Does it really facilitate a direct experience with the self?
i do hope the ahsram improves the goshala, last time i went it was not very ethical seeming, the ashram should be dairy free and serve as a place of seva for the cows instead of extraction, the current ashram feels off from ramana’s energy, i stated this to the accountant/manager there and was waved off.
“When in the body of a donkey, enjoy the taste of grass.” Tibetan
Next please talk about Ramana's toilet habits.
It will be interesting to know about our Avvatar's daily activities. Do Bhagavans ( God) need toilets.
"அருள் கடவுள்"
Do those cows have rope through there noses?And they are on a very short leash,what's with that?
Ca a person with a spinal cord injury realized the self?
Definitely Yes. If you're alluding to kundalini. The physical body has nothing to do with it. It's the etheric body. Moreover, energy can rise in astral and other bodies as well.

David godman..
Lakshmi, the cow( goddess) Raman's
mother buried and
worshipping by people.
then ,why they buried
Raman's real mother in
ashram.
she was an ordinary human being in that time.
Aadee K7 Enlightenment is being out of time. She s his enlightened mother.
Upendra Kumar
I think
You meant “ Brahmin” pride. Can’t agree to that because Ramana Maharishi taught her otherwise. So we are just speculating. But he removed the last traces of karma and vasanas fm his Mother.
Upendra Kumar
I believe there were stories where Bhagavan slowly weaned his Mother out of caste pride..Bhagavan subsequently removed vasanas and karma fm his Mother and made her enlightened.. Thus Mother is worshipped:-)
Coincidence or wat..? I had idlis n tea as seeing these videos!! 🤔
