Mr.Godman, your name is not a coincidence, you create Lord Ramana inside us by these narrations again and again and we get a feeling that he is with us now. May the grace of Shri Ramana be with you forever! 🙏
David, thank you for everything you do. You have helped vastly spread Bhagavan's presence across the globe. Light, love, and blessings from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where these teachings are alive and well!
Thank u profusely for this wonderful video on Shri Ramana Often we read but still are unable to comprehend the information in books,but this pictorial video was amazingly beautiful. 🙏🙏
Just watched a few minutes of a movie about Bhagavan he died the minute I was born… The same exact time 8:47pm. I love that synchronicity. He is my true and only true Teacher. I have studied metaphysics, philosophy and several teachers… Even three teachers before him saying the same thing… But I never heard the message until I got it directly from him. There are no more teachers. And sometimes in the evenings, I am being taught all night long… Just wanted to share that because it overwhelms me. I practice self inquiry all the time, even in public… What I do is I blur my eyes unless I need to be exactly focused, so that the images that move before them cannot entrance or engage me… And I try to keep my focus solely on my heart even when speaking with people… There is this deep, penetrating quiet that has come into my life… There’s only when I am engaged in the mind that it is no longer there. And I feel it. the quiet becomes longer and deeper the more I go in. Thank you for helping.
That is all you need. Follow your own heart inwards. What else is there to do? And what choice do you have? I feel I am permanently stoned .. no weed needed.
Dear Shri David, its an extraordinary skill that you have, to be a part of this blessing and share it with us. It is so humble of you to come all the way to this country and try to understand the simplest of things and the most complex teachings. It is a pleasure to listen to these narratives.
love these stories Mr Godman, and I'm also reading your teachings of Sri Ramana....what an absolute treasure this book and your videos are...thank you so much
Thank you so much for your incredible video stories of Sri Ramana Maharishi. I listen to them all, again and again. What an incredible researcher and engaging historian you are. And you’re really a veritable conduit for his bhav. 💚
Here is the second of two letters from the daughter of the Osbournes, so from a westerner who lived for numerous years with Ramana. I recommend it and it's message to anyone and everyone who respects truth and accuracy in the recording for posterity of the unique and pure life of Ramana. -- From: Katya Douglas Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2016 ...I am constantly appalled by the slip-shod way in which Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi is mis-quoted and misrepresented. People who are concerned with writing or spreading the words and wisdom of a great sage have a responsibility to get it right. If they are writing fiction,which many of them are, then that should be clearly indicated. To use Bhagavan’s name in order to aggrandise oneself or claim some sort of superior knowledge is absolutely unforgivable. It does however, happen with increasing regularity. It seems that the passing on of rumour and gossip is easier and more fun than taking the trouble to check facts… and if in the process one can gain a reputation for spiritual knowledge, well what more could a writer on spiritual matters ask for? There are still a few of us left who were there when Bhagavan was sitting in the hall in the body. We are old, but in the main we are sane and our memories work just fine. However we are seldom if ever asked to confirm any story about Bhagavan. By and large writers prefer their own versions and are most reluctant to be corrected or told the truth!, ...I hope I have helped you to get nearer the truth of what happened way back when. Regards, Kitty Osborne (also known as Katya Douglas)
🙏🏼🙏🏼 🙏🏼Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. Thank you David Godman for making videos on Bhagwan. The way you tell stories about Bhagwan gives me the feeling of living the moments you describe. Thank you 🙏🏼
Dear David , the most moving point on the Walks on the Hill for me is the one of Shri Ramana's love for his devotee on the hill at Skandashram so touching we are indeed so fortunate am grateful to have such a clear picture given to us with such love and devotion . Thank you sir.
“...there are two types of inward movements. One is the self-reflexive loop of the ego. When you spend a lot of time focusing on yourself you can glorify the self-reflexive loop to the point you convince yourself you are Divine. She said she saw a lot of that in modern “spiritual” teachings. The self-reflexive loop is very attractive to narcissists because they are already extremely self-obsessed. The true spiritual movement is not to focus on “oneself,” but involves the still center, that immovable still point that has never changed amidst all of the comings and goings of life.” ~~ Steven Strouth
Absolutely moved by his compassion. I was in Arunachala onces and I mediated for 2 hours It felt like 5 mins , have you experienced something like this ? I hope to be there next week or so ..it would be nice to meet u if you are there in Arunachala
According to Wikipedia, the entry on Robert Adams: None of Robert Adams claims of visiting India or Ramana Ashram have ever been verified by anyone except himself. His claims of living in Arthur Osborne's house have been questioned by Katya Osborne and Michael James and found to be likely made up.[18] Also Ramana Ashram's The Mountain Path has concluded Robert Adams was never there: "There is the curious case of a Robert Adams, an American guru who asserted that he was at Sri Ramanasramam between 1947-8 and 1952 (the dates vary in his conversations) and that he moved closely with Bhagavan. Until such time as there appears objective, verifiable evidence to substantiate this claim, we cannot but come to the conclusion that his account is unreliable."
Yes, it's cleat now that Adams never even set foot in India, let alone met Ramana. His own students are on record saying that he was a compulsive liar.
Thanks Mr. Godman for this wonderful presentation. The narration on Skandashram incident was too touching. A humble request, is there a possibility of a talk on Faith/Bhakthi. Through Guru's grace and personal interactions with you, Shri Michael James and with Shri Nochur Venkataraman, I have been able to practice Vichara. Though Intellectual understanding and convictions are important and have their place, I find maturity comes only through Faith/Bhakthi. Any talk from you in this regard will be of great help. Pls let me know of any support required in this regard. Your books and presentations are great source of help to us. Namaskarams.
Love the song at the start of this video. Is there a link where I can find that song on You tube? Because I searched for it but couldn't find it. Can someone please share d link.
Lavanya lyer ... Someone posted this above your question. "Ramana Puranam, you can listen on "Saavn Radio"... Try google perhaps you can locate it on youtube or a CD..

Is there any reason for ramana applying viboothi(pattai) on his forehead, as far as i know it is associated with gods which he himself has said to be as an objectification of the mind and that true god is the self.
Deepak Natraj He showed respect to all forms of the divine and to any form of prasad that came from them. There is a nice verse in Guru Vachaka Kovai to the effect that the wife shows deferential respect to her husband in public even though she has enjoyed the bliss of union in the privacy of the bedroom. Aprops vibhuti, Bhagavan felt genuine reverence for Arunachala which he took to be the form of Siva, not just a representation of him. He regarded vibhuti as a sacrament of his Guru and God and treated it accordingly.
That is what i thought but David spoke to a key person who indeed remembered him. She was the daughter of (name slips me) Osbourne? He was instrumental in assisting Westerners and all that came to the ashram... It had to do with him giving a car to Adams as i recall and Osbourne's daughter had her eyes on the car so it stuck in her memory (who he gave it to). David mentions this on at least one of his videos. Also Pajaji aka Poonjaji recognized Adam's enlightened state and read from his books at satsang.
@@Avisado You're speaking of Katya Osborne, she was contacted about this and confirms they never even had a car. Her parents couldn't even drive! So, the whole thing has been revealed as a myth. Ramanashram even had a photo up of Adams. When Katya's letter's came out, they took down their photo. It's now been shown that Adams never even met Ramana. (he sure fooled a lot of people though!)
@@lucyhartman1501 Yes a lot of people. Not sure but it was likely David G who gave Nisargadatta Majaraj a read of some of Adam's writings. Then claimed Nisargadatta raved about it saying "he is there" or something to that affect... Begs the questions how and why is David G insisting that Adams was legit? Truth is that Adams was a letch and got after many women according to inside sources who knew all about him... He was living in a fantasy world within the 'waking dream' that we all live in. (Adams that is)
@@Avisado It was actually Papaji that liked Adams transcripts (not Nisargadatta). Yes, even Adams big students like Ed Muzika had no problem saying that "Robert was a compulsive liar, and a notorious womanizer" I think it would be good if David took down all materials that feature anything to do with Adams.
@@lucyhartman1501 Yes I know Papaji approved but thought also Nisargatta was impressed as well. David G spent many days with Nisargatta until one day Nisargatta told him he has received enough and told him to leave. David was like a sponge in those days soaking up information and energy from anyone he thought was even close to Ramana in awareness. A fantastic life being with swamies who were old but enlightened while directly following Ramana. Then he started on others like Papaji, Nisargatta and Ramesh maybe.
David, I've searched all my life; I've read about this path and that path; I have begged, I have begged, I have begged so many Realized Beings to come to me and give me realization, but it's always been to no avail. My only conclusion can be and must be that while the stories are so very quaint, they are, nevertheless and unfortunately - bullshit.
Are you some kind of hog? Guru doen,t have to liberate you from this cursed pain and suffering. You have simply to realize your divinity. If you can't then you should dump your pride and surrender. Study a photograph of Ramana enter it and you will receive the gift you want
God is unconditional love. The notion that He's got favorites - or that God's a 'He' 😊 - is a fiction. We all come from Source and refine to higher planes of love, light and understanding that we're not separate. These are difficult lessons, but we do ascend... some more gradually than others. When we judge, we are farther from that Light. When judgement falls away, we get closer to it. We sure can make things complicated, eh? Hugs from one who's still trying. Paz y luz ✨️

David, thank you for everything you do. You have helped vastly spread Bhagavan's presence across the globe. Light, love, and blessings from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where these teachings are alive and well!
hearing the last story, I was reminded of Sri ramakrishna who said that God is always hungry for the love of his devotees and cannot resist it!
Thank you for protecting the rock on the path.

Wow Ramana satguru. Did u learn self inquiry from the Path of Shree Ramana book of Shree Sadhu Om? U as devotee of Lord Ramana, pranam to u, ❤️

Yes, it has come out that Robert Adams was never in India, he never even met Ramana. Katya's letter finally made people see through his tall tales.
