- Swami Yogananda with four others arrived at 8.45 a.m . . . The group had lunch in the Asramam.
Mr. C. R. Wright, his secretary, asked: How shall I realise God?
M.: God is an unknown entity. Moreover He is external. Whereas, the Self is always with you and it is you. Why do you leave out what is intimate and go in for what is external?
D.: What is this Self again?
M.: The Self is known to everyone but not clearly. You always exist. The Be-ing is the Self. 'I am' is the name of God. Of all the definitions of God, none is indeed so well put as the Biblical statement "I AM THAT I AM" in EXODUS (Chap. 3). There are other statements, such as Brahmaivaham, Aham Brahmasmi and Soham. But none is so direct as the name JEHOVAH = I AM. The Absolute Being is what is - It is the Self. It is God. Knowing the Self, God is known. In fact God is none other than the Self.
D.: Why are there good and evil?
M.: They are relative terms. There must be a subject to know the good and evil. That subject is the ego. Trace the source of the ego. It ends in the Self. The source of the ego is God. This definition of God is probably more concrete and better understood by you.
D.: So it is. How to get Bliss?
M.: Bliss is not something to be got. On the other hand you are always Bliss. This desire is born of the sense of incompleteness. To whom is this sense of incompleteness? Enquire. In deep sleep you were blissful: Now you are not so. What has interposed between that Bliss and this non-bliss? It is the ego. Seek its source and find you are Bliss. There is nothing new to get. You have, on the other hand, to get rid of your ignorance which makes you think that you are other than Bliss. For whom is this ignorance? It is to the ego. Trace the source of the ego. Then the ego is lost and Bliss remains over. It is eternal. You are That, here and now . . . That is the master key for solving all doubts. The doubts arise in the mind. The mind is born of the ego. The ego rises from the Self. Search the source of the ego and the Self is revealed. That alone remains. The universe is only expanded Self. It is not different from the Self.
D.: What is the best way of living?
M.: It differs according as one is a Jnani [knower] or ajnani. A Jnani does not find anything different or separate from the Self. All are in the Self. It is wrong to imagine that there is the world, that there is a body in it and that you dwell in the body. If the Truth is known, the universe and what is beyond it will be found to be only in the Self. The outlook differs according to the sight of the person. The sight is from the eye. The eye must be located somewhere. If you are seeing with the gross eyes you find others gross. If with subtle eyes (i.e., the mind) others appear subtle. If the eye becomes the Self, the Self being infinite, the eye is infinite. There is nothing else to see different from the Self.
He thanked Maharshi. He was told that the best way of thanking is to remain always as the Self.
Later the yogi [Yogananda] asked : How is the spiritual uplift of the people to be effected? What are the instructions to be given them?
Maharshi: They differ according to the temperaments of the individuals and the spiritual ripeness of their minds. There cannot be any instruction enmasse.
Yogananda: Why does God permit suffering in the world? Should He not with His omnipotence do away with it at one stroke and ordain the universal realisation of God?
Maharshi: Suffering is the way for Realisation of God.
Yogananda: Should He not ordain it differently?
Maharshi: It is the way.
Yogananda: Are yoga, religion, etc., antidotes to suffering?
Maharshi: Who suffers? What is suffering?
(No answer. Finally the Yogi rose up, prayed for Sri Bhagavan's blessings for his own work and expressed great regret for his hasty return. He looked very sincere and devoted and even emotional.)

Paramahansa Yogananda visited the ashram of Ramana Maharshi after reading Paul Brunton's book, "A Search in Secret India." Brunton met him there as documented in this video.

The Maharshi is simply unmoved by what's happening.
Always remained in meditating condition.....Always pouring love
“Silence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is peace. And hence Silence is the Self. Silence is the most powerful. Speech is always less powerful than Silence.” 🧘🏽♀️🕉🧘🏽♀️~ Sri Ramana Maharshi
Ramana was the true master... sitting unpreterbed, no pretense, in his silence speaks volumes.
Yogananda is also a True Master.....Huge Impact on America and the World...
Hi there I am@@ronpconte Ave
If everybody was like ramana maharshi noone else would get realised but ramana did his work helped a lot but without working in the public wont reach the masses thay why yogis are very active yet so still and exuberant
. Both are beautiful as the embodiment of TRUTH
@Vipin Kumar Yes, You make so much sense with that.
this gives me chills when I see ramana maharshi
Same here
For me also
Amazing to See Parmahansa Yogananda and Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi together!!! Interesting to note everyone is dressed in full sleeves and even coats and capes Except for the Seated Divine self which is impervious to Weather !!! Long live the Beautiful Gurus of India !!!!
The people in this video, from left to right, are his western secretary, Richard Wright, a student from Cincinnati, Miss Ettie Bletch, then next to Yogananda, Paul Brunton. At the 3:30 mark, a few other people enter the scene. They are, from left to right, Buddha Bose, Bishnu Ghosh, and Bijoy Kumar Mallick. They are the originators of what is now known as 'Hot Yoga' style of asana practice.The three are touring with Yogananda in South India, 1938. Among the places they go are Mysore, where they meet with Krishnamacharya and a young student that performs asanas for them, BKS Iyengar. Interesting huh?
Good information. Thanks
Thank you great information 👍
A small correction here. they were not the creators of hot yoga. Hot yoga was "created" by one who calls himself a disciple of Bishnu (Paramahansa Yogananda's brother), who focused on the exercise part of Hatha Yoga. He has not even been proven that he was his disciple...
I can't stop the tears whenever i watch the video of Ramana Maharshi
I Love You Paramahansa .. I Am That I Am ..
All saints are beautifully different in their own ways:) One could be the epitome of SILENCE like Bhagavan Ramana was and the other could be chatting away happily like Paramahamsa Yogananada:) How does it matter how their personalities were,the point is that they were all enlightened just the same,no one superior or inferior to each other,and our only goal is to imbibe their teachings,whatever feels appropriate for our own spiritual growth and work towards our own salvation:) Each of the saints lives is like the most precious gems that makes up a beautiful necklace or the most beautiful flowers bunched together to make the prettiest Bouquet:)
yes that is true... all true hai hai
Fred Flintstone I can see the peace calmness on your face
Yogananda is chatting away. Silence and stillness of the mind has always been the message. Ramana is the Hercules- the greatest master of all. Westerners came to him, he never felt the need to leave his abode.
They look beautiful together.
Hai
Be in the world, not of the world.
All is the Self, all is Ramana.
Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
this could be my favourite clip of ramana. he is engulfed in the Self, you can tell he is nowhere and somewhere else, while every one talks away (there's nothing wrong with that) but something so right with Ramana. I can't thank the man from India enough.
He is not somewhere he is just present
@@srini9083 exactly
You're right, he was absorbed in his transcendental Being, beyond all of us.
Tears rolling on my eyes😭
For me also when I see Ramana Maharshi
Ramana Maharshi’s life story, the events of his youth, are intense, other-worldly, full of God
I have seen pictures and videos of Ramana Maharshi and he is always Spiritually impressive. One of the things that I noticed with this video was that while Brunton and Yogananda are moving about and talking with people; Maharshi was a Rock, sitting perfectly still, with mind perfectly still at peace and with great Power. Thank you so much for down loading this video.
Yes you are true
Yes, I got the "transmission" as it opened on Ramana alone. High, broad, still. He could be sitting in Alaska on a rock. Makes no difference. Only the body is in the world. I understand so much better now. Thank You.
@@vipinkumar8142Exactly! At least, it was Yogananda’s path to do work in the world.
Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi & Parama Hansh Yogananda.
what a great video
The Maharishi gives us darshan in this video. Healing and purifying!
Ramana Maharshi is so still.
Incredible.
Greatest Sage. Ramana Maharshi. So established in the Self. Always pointed to SOURCE. Always pointed to freedom. Not powers, not dilly dallying doing this or that, but straight to freedom.
Utter Simplicity, humility in Truth. Sri Ramana Maharshi Ki Jai. Paramahansa Yogananda Ki Jai 🔥🙏🔥
Priceless video post 🙏
In the feet of Ramana Maharshi ,Yogananda is barely a student like any other, yes he was surely a lucky man to see Ramana Bhagwan.
Please don't compare these great souls unless you are qualified to do so
Radha 🙏jai jai GURUDEV PARAMHANSA YOGANANDA
Paramahamsa Yogananda's task as an Avatar was to bring East and West together on the same spiritual platform and to show the commonalities between Bible and Bhagwath Geetha. So, he traveled to USA where he stayed till his last breath.
Ramana Marharishi never stirred from his abode at Thiruvannamalai near the Arunachala hills. The world came to him but he never moved from that place.
Yet, the message is the same: how to contact that inner light so we may all be in bliss.
Sridhar Kaushik - not sure why one needs to travel to the west like Osho and all those controversies. And no self realized soul charges a penny to share knowledge of the divine. Quite disappointing to see Sadguru selling VIP seats for a higher price to come attend his events. Is Yogananda Ashram abroad free for all like Ramana’s or do they charge as well?
Sridhar Kaus
Sridhar Kaushik forgive my ignorance but who was he an avatar of?
@@gautamkhanna5842 The difference between the others whom you have mentioned and pramahansa yogananda is that the later did the bidding of his guru... and he also belongs to the lineage of great guru pramapara.. i suggest you read his biography once to gain more insight.
@@hellooutthere8956 Avatar means a liberated soul who descends down to lower planes to help others.
Silence is also communication :)
🙏🌸Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi 🌸🙏
Wherever you are I honor you! I bless you! and I love you! with all the purest and most divine love! light peace love mercy and empathy towards all beings of the world! healing in Gaia and in all who inhabit it so be it! Forever Yours! Namaste Magdalena Alejandra Moyano
Jay Maharishi Raman ji
大師様、いつも ありがとうございます。🙏🏻心から 御札申し上げます🙏🏻
well I just found this book in a old book shop in downtown Amsterdam. O man it makes me so happy because it is a true classic.
Not to sound rude but it's funny that the Englishman are dressed to their Suits while Ramana just chills in his underwear & he's the cool one here, in his natural state without any ego or pretentiousness.
Awakened sky
I think almost everyone , even very sincere seekers . like the Englishmen, look funny alongside an Avatar.
I know i would.
+Awakened sky It's true and i think that you put it right "in his Natural state..." when someone is comfy in themself it shows as does the awkwardness of self-consciousness when one feels that they should be more than they are. If folks could only know that they're already perfect and stop trying to be "more" they'd instantly find themselves beyond where they thought that they wanted to go. It really is that simple but it usually seems to be that one Has to "battle" through maddening complexity before seeing the simplicity. Mind you, i did have a tendency to think too much and i reckon lots of folks do. LuvS
haha. Overwear in his case
jposco lol. good observation.
***** luxury
OMG this is so amazing!!!! I love this people and whacht them ALIVE is a blessed material! Thank you so much!
It is very tough and hard to be in silent mode for a long years
Great souls in one place👌🙏
Ramana Maharshi Guru Ghar is great
It seems Maharshi is present at several places at a time.... Omnipresent
मिलन OF TWO महापुरुषों GIVES DIVINE PLEASURE
we r luck to c this saints .always am in ur ways.please bless me guruji's
My guru ramana marshiji
What a video !!!!!!
Maharshi - Yoganand ji & brunton sir !!!!
Greattttt -
Ramana Maharshi
Must be "Autobiography of a Yogi"
Thank you for this blessing.
Saints are unique in their way and have work cut out for them. Yogananda has said that when he was with Ramana Marharishi, he met a "God realized" person (named "Yogi Ramiah" by Paul Brunton in his book "The search in secret India" but aka Sriram Yogi) and had he stayed some more time, he would have found it difficult to leave the company of this person.
Swami Kriyananda (a direct disciple of Yogananda and founder of "Ananda") years later found Sri Ram Yogi in a small village in Andhra Pradesh (South India). He had a handful of disciples. When asked why he did not have more disciples, the Yogi simply replied "I have done what God had wanted from this body".
Yogananda had a much greater work to do in the West but SriRam Yogi had a smaller work to do but he too was God realized!
Thank you for your video
Ramana is great.🙏🙏🙏
thank you
GREAT VIDEO::THANK YOU
பார்க்க ஆனந்தம்.
Namaste 🙏
Thanks so much
Very nice to see great Spiritual leader
Ramana maharishi image itself is powerful what a man i am very proud to born in indian thanks to all great religion and spiritual gurus❤️ gems of india🙏
The guru is not the man, the body, nor outward personality. Each master in the body displays and attracts differently, as do the varied flowers in a garden attract bees from all directions. Is one flower more “flower” than the others? It’s silly to distinguish realized masters from each other this way. They would most likely correct one doing this.
I am not comparing i am just lover of ramana maharshi i never compared any guru
thanks
Naman. Parnam. Great beings. Great video. Thank you for sharing. May God bless.
Aap mohyal ho?
మీ ద్వారా ఇలాంటి వీడియోలు చూడగలుగుతున్నాం చాలా ధన్యవాదాలు
Love and respect for ramana mahrsi and yoganand
BHAGAVAN
This is like when Lebron met Jordan for the first time
Oh My.... Tears...
Two great masters what a sight
Joyguru ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
Behad ke Behad ki Param Param Param Maha Shanti ho rahi hai
True but for Ramana to have achieved Yana as a child must imply that he is uniquely spiritually advanced.
Treasure !
Ramana-Ji is a rock. Yogananda-Ji is on a mission. Their directions and likely their realizations were different or perhaps their karma yogic walks different. Ramana's way likely did not add to Yogananda's mission. Some have said he did not think that much Of Sri Ramana-Ji. Ramana-Ji did serve silently like a magnet...
🙏
Thank you so much for posting this extraordinary video. Ramana Maharshi, One of a kind!
Sitting there like a rock while all the others twitter...
Not sure what is meant by Twitter. Yogananda was a self realized master. His Holiness gave so much to this world
oof... when I am able to get a little glimpse on theyre essence, beyond the visual surface... the energy wave... and PULL! is immense
wow two great saints. what an atmosphere that could had been..
Would I like to be a fly on the wall for THAT meeting of two greats! :)
Just sitting still doesn't necessarily mean he's more spiritual. God damn such a surface deep understanding of spirituality. So talking makes someone less spiritual... Wow.. The logic amazes me..
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Children of space and time, you are what you pray to!!
The description above states that "....Yogananda would omit this meeting (with Ramana) from his book" Huh?? What are you talking about? That is EXACTLY how I found out about Ramana, through the Autobiography of a Yogi. The story *IS* there!
Autobiography has gone through many reprints. The meeting with Ramana Maharshi was omitted from the earlier editions.
Well, I first read the AY in 1970, and the story appeared then. So for 44 years (at least) the meeting of the 2 great gurus has appeared in AY. Kind of scratching my head as to why you forgot to post that fact. As a matter of fact, I read one story where a potential disciple came to Yogananda to live in his ashram. After a period of time, Yogananda told him he would be better served spiritually if he went to India and be with Ramana. As for myself (thanks to the AY story) I have used Ramana's "self inquiry" methods extensively. Namaste :-)
lov from pakistan....
Ramana Maharshi, el Yogui de los yogui. El mas grande entre los grandes del espiritu
Why are there ads on this awesome video?
🙏🙏🙏
Esta lendo o trecho da autobiografia de Yogananda agora faz uns minutos atrás e era sobre Ramana Marahishi
but follow who you are compelled to follow....at the end of the day ...it matters not very much....some are destined for clarity ...and others are not....but i do suggest you find out as much as possible about yogananda and maharshi and decide for yourselves..and i wish you all the best..it isn't a competition...its just there is ultimate truth taught by my guru sri ramanah maharshi, and once you delve into yourself...you will see his teachings were correct..without a shadow of a doubt....from then on all literature becomes meaningless and pointless...all of it..and you will have the knowledge to gain truth alone....you will also be saddened by the paths others have chosen to take....and you will try and guide them to the path you know to be true....and then like me you may honour this man as the most important thing to ever grace this world we are currently in....peace and love to you all.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐💐
Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Aruna Siva...
Blessings to all 💕💕💕
Ramana maharsi god
AMAZING! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE MUSIC IS??
Some fools are spuriously commenting about the spiritual stages of these two great masters from the plane of ignorance and utter delusion...it is impossible to recognise spiritual beings and great masters from their outward appearances and from their style of conduct in the society....ordinary men devoid of any spiritual attainment can’t even comprehend an iota of their personality let alone judging them ....and true realised masters will not comment.....external appearances are absolutely of no significance and morons who have no idea about the spiritual giants from India and their mode of operation are just exhibiting their ignorance and tomfoolery by even daring to comment on such masters let alone judging them....they must enlighten themselves about other great masters of the likes of Paramahansa Yogananda and Ramana Maharshi ; like Trailanga Swami, Akkalkot Maharaj, Totapuri, Bijoy Krishna Goswami, Bhagwan Paramhansa Nithyananda, Swami Dayanand Abadhut, Bamakhepa of tarapith etc...all these masters were spiritual giants with so called imperfect bodies who perfected the bodies and maladies of several medical patients who were labelled as incurable by the medical sciences and standards prevailing at that time.....these beings are rare and their actions are rare too as they are manifestations of the supreme energy.....no one except spiritually advanced yogis has the capacity to identify whether one is a true spiritual master or not....the western and eastern fools please let go your undeveloped basis of discrimination and judgement and try to enhance your knowledge by reading about such yogis and their lives.....they are all physically(consciously neglect)unaware of their own external appearances at the same time they have the power to manifest anything, literally anything they wish....changing their own body structure is like cakewalk for them....Paramahansa Yogananda had himself acknowledged about his body structure and that he chose to remain healthy (in his book journey to self realisation).
Thank you for your comment, it needed to be written
This video and the excerpted questions and answers when the 2 saints met is a pure jewel indeed because PY does not mention a dialogue with RM in his Autobiography. Just (quote) "During the hours that we spent with him and his disciples, he was mostly silent, his gentle face radiating divine love and wisdom".
And in the next paragraph succinctly explains his teaching, the "Who Am I" Just that. Two paragraphs.
Quite different teachings in my view. Ramana´s answer to PY´question about instructions for the worldly people, the suffering and yoga, aren´t they mind blowing? (for PY and for some of us)
I do firmly believe in all of the Yogananda´s written and spoken accounted touching experiences. Each and every one of them. Not only his but those of Sri Yukteswar, Lahiri Mahasaya and Babaji. What would´ve Ramana thought about Babaji? Also as "external" ?
I also find it Ramana Maharshi´s Truth as valid. Ungraspable though. He´s a saint.
I remotely sense they someway somehow converge but about Ramana´s profound teachings for now I can´t mindly bear them in my dual present and earthly lifetime less in this veiled Earth. I´m not mentally prepared yet. It´s beyond my scarce mental limits. Of course in the Timeless Infinite Realms it will someway somehow.
Please change the title to Paramhansa Yoganandji, Not Swamy Yoganandji.
persone che da sole valgono come un esercito !!!!!!!!!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Music is superfluous in this video.. what better music that silence..the music of the soul. Why are we so afraid of silence sometimes...-just a thought:)
అరుణాచలశివ నమోనమః
what is the music?
yes it us true,----plese read pram hamsa yogandha autobiograpy.
One who is still in mortal consciousness may not know the real deep values of these 2 Great Souls. They came with a divine mission and both played their part well as ordained by the One Supreme Being.
Form of stillness
At 0:47.......above His head Holiness Ramana Maharshi....check!!!!!!!!!OM NAMAH SHIVA YA
That is the camera. It is at 0:43 above Yogananda's head too :)
Thanks for the goosebumps :)
You are a fucking idiot!
I wish I knew what they talked about. What one said to the other.
Why all the others were engaged in continuous talk even when the Video was being taken, while Maharishi advocates Silence and Stillness to know the Truth.
which book did u find ?
!
