Talks on Sri Ramana Maharshi: Narrated by David Godman - Natesa Iyer

  • In the published tales of ancient Gurus and Masters, it is sometimes mentioned that the best devotees are discovered in obscure, unlikely places such as the kitchen or cowshed. Papaji sometimes told the story of a saint in Maharashtra whose best devotee spent his time shovelling cow dung in the ashram's cowshed. Hui Neng, the Zen Patriarch, had a lowly job in the monastery kitchen before he demonstrated his spiritual worth to his teacher and his community.
    Here is a story of Natesa Iyer, one of the lesser-known devotees of Ramana Maharshi, a man who ground down his ego by serving his master in the ashram kitchen and who eventually reached a point where he felt that only his Guru's presence remained.

And when I actually met you, even if briefly and serendipitously, and exchanged a few words in front of the Ramanasranam, I felt happy, thrilled and blessed. Thank you for everything, sir! 🙏 🙏 🙏

    Thank you for sharing this video.
    I find it interesting the necessity for "grounding down his e-go by serving" his master to the point where he reached a point where he felt that only his Guru's presence remained.
    * If you ever read the Bible, in the "New testament", about Jesus who TOTALLY denied himself = "died to himself" and declared that "He was ONE with the Father God", he was IN the Father and The Father was IN him. All his purpose was to do the WILL of him, who sent him to earth, which was to REVEAL the MYSTERY of the Father, who is the One, True living God to Humanity and bring good news.
    Thanks again for sharing ...

  • @akharisankariyer
    @akharisankariyer Před 3 lety

    Absolutely gripping and intense, the way the narrative goes. However certain incidents narrated are beyond our common understanding and comprehension. Bhagwan no doubt is a realised soul, unhinged from the worldly bondages, and causation. Something more than mere beliefs and devotion are happening here.

    hi David your videos are awesome. thanks a lot. I ve one small question. how self inquiry different from deep meditation. Per Vedanta, Dharana - brining the mind to one thing, Dhyana - when the mind becomes steady on the object of concentration, Samadhi - when there is no difference ,you become the object itself. you lost your identity. I think self inquiry and samadhi are same. they both achieve the same thing taking different routes.

    • @sankarakrishnan8707
      @sankarakrishnan8707 Před 5 lety

      You can read 'path of sri ramana' by sadhu om part 1 and 2 and your question will become clear. Meditation is different from self-inquiry and self-inquiry does not need an object.

    At 18:00 you mention sattwa food,s Sri Ramakrishna mentioned that once one has the sattwa quality one is knocking on the door of samadhi.
    In all my years of studying Holy Beings Eckhart Tolle was the only one I can quantify as being in this sattwa samadhi state.

    The doctors killed Bhagavan. He was being treated by an Ayurvedic doctor and the cancer was disappearing. The 'devotees' who were enamored by western medical cancer treatment practices (slash, burn and poison, which is still the same today) insisted that the Ayurveda be stopped and that the butchers be brought in. They did their job of surgical butchery and radiation burning and and that was the end of Bhagavan's body. One can only hope that karma caught up with them in the end.
