- This is a talk I gave on the edge of the Palakottu tank. It is a collection of stories that I hope illustrates my contention that Ramana Maharshi was remarkably tolerant and forgiving when it came to judging and responding to wayward behaviour by his devotees.
I'm from Kerala and in our language, "I will never forget you" is said more in the positive sense
🙏📿🕉️✨💙
Great,great!Gratitude.Ramana is at once Buddha,Jesus,Sri Adi-Sankara & more.Crying,what more can I say?
Mr.Godman , you're an absolute gem to seekers on the path !
Unlike Bhagavan, when most of us talk of forgiving someone, we do so after first blaming that person. Emotional forgiveness, like emotional love, is at best a mere reflection of its true form. True love, and hence true forgiveness (the latter not being distinct from the former), is not an emotion but a state of being.
Om!
Powerful
Thank you David, your presentation is always very enjoyable. I have read an incident which can be under this title. Once after the death of a very illbehavd man living nearby and isolated by the society for his misdeeds and stealings everyone was waiting for what Bhagwan would say about this man as Bhagwan never did any negative remark on anybody. But with their utter surprise they found Bhagwan praising of his neatness. Bhagwan told that in spite of all odd things done by him he used to wash his dress everyday with his own hands and wore them, he was so neat. And thus Bhagwan showed how to be positive in all circumstances
I could listen to you all day long, you are a great storyteller and the well of knowledge and wisdom is deep. You could read from the phonebook A-Z and I would still enjoy it. 🙏😋.
💯
Absolutely binge watching this channel. I love seeing people who have found their purpose, and this sir, is especially beautiful.
Same here! Just found this gem of a channel today and binging ever since
Excellent !! Kya baat !! This is how a jivanmukta should be. Many many thanks and heartfelt regards to David Godman for bringing the life of this enlightened soul before us. Swami Vivekananda used to tell, see the life not just the words. Ramana Maharshi's life is a teaching.
Thank you so much for yet another superb video on Bhagavan revealing his divine compassion towards all. The episode of Perumal Swami especially brings out best the divine character of Bhagavan - patience, tolerance, and forgiveness.
learning about the man he was has been as helpful as the teachings for me. a big thanks for bringing these stories to us!
Hello So Dear David---this has such a powerful transmission. It is the dharma to be still as the stillness. Sri Bhagavan's demonstration of this is a profound teaching. In Love and Gratitude for your service to the Beloved Ramana---Kosi
Thank you David.Beautiful stories. "I am in hell too" That sounds like a top.The best.
Such lovely stories, Very sweet and tender.
thank you very much. I cried of devotion hearing these stories. Thank you again.
There's nowhere you can go where Bhagavans not. That's reassuring.
Thank you David. I loved the Milk the pot analogy.
Thank you very much for this!
Your analogy of Perumal Swamy's story to Ramayana is very fitting. Ravana realised Ram through his enimity and in the end became one with Ram. I feel that there is no bad way to think of God. Perumal swamy would have constantly meditated on Bhagavan even if the theme of meditation is enimity.
Good and bad matter for the limited mind, why should they matter to god?
Upon being told about criticism against him & Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda remarked, "Good. Atleast that way they think of this place."
Thanks Mr. Godman, both for these wonderful videos, and the patience and tolerance which you yourself demonstrate in your interactions. I am deeply grateful for both. Thank you for your wonderful example and all your work.
Thank you for documenting this all. Fortune to see Ramana Maharshi bhagwan through these.
I am very grateful for your sharing David. Thank you!
Thank you David, your voice is important, at least for me. Thank you. 🙏❤
❤️agree 100%! David's voice brings immense love, peace, and relaxation.
Thank you David for capturing and sharing these stores with the world.
Thank you David for these wonderful stories.
Thank you. Your great sense of humour and the talks bring so much life to my nascent understanding of Sri Ramana Maharshi.
David, thank you so much for you time, devotion and love. It's beauty touches the heart. I so much enjoy my education by you about the details of Bhagavan's life that you provide through these videos. Love and gratitude.
The concepts of the mind, thought and the ego are simple to understand, Yet complex in application..
So much heart touching...how much i need real storys of forgiveness ...just to make sure...when bagavan says "ill never forget you" it was just a joke in response at what the devotee has say before (dont forget me isnt it?? 😅) so ramana forgive him and take him and dont take in consideration what he has done? So inspiring 😊We all need this examples to open the heart
❤
🙏🙏🙏 today I asked Ramanatata one Question and I was answered by this video . Thank you sir
I swear I can feel it beginning to slowly ignite inside of me.
🌺😊
Om Namah Shivaya
God bless om shanthi
David.....am so enjoying listening to these stories.Hearing the Life examples of Ramana told in your tongue in cheek way make them real and impactful. Thank you baya. Praveeta
All of your videos are excellent. It really give insights back to days of Bhagavan and helps feels presence of Bhagavan now too. No words to thank enough.
These stories are so touching and inspiring, that made me cry
Awesome. Thank you
So happy and glad I found your videos, after Mooji etc..I wanted to know much more about Ramana Maharshi, your explanation is best ever, thank you so much and bless you.
Thank you guru ji 🪔🥰🙏
So beautiful, thanks for sharing
🙏❤
David Godman is my guru!!!!
Thank you so much Sir for these videos. Absolute treasure for a seeker. Humble Pranam 🙏🏽🌺
I am hitting a omniscient note here....bear with this. Bhagavan knows ways of Karma and stopped people from reactionary measures which will do harm to both the parties.
What is in our hands is prevention of mistake in future and should put our efforts there. Pranams to all.
Thank you. This is a very deep statement that we would do well to ponder.
oh! these stories are delightful! pure nectar!
Infinitas Gracias por la traducción al español🙏
A great example of tolerance and equanimity
Muito obrigado! Brasil na escuta!🇧🇷 thanks!🤗🙏! Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
Dakshinamurti,Arunachalaramana.He is "I am".
When a devotee expressed astonishment over the fact that there are many bad people around his Guru (after having an heated argument with such a person and not able to make peace with it) and how does he tolerate them, allow them to be in such a pious place, Guru said, it is expected to find a doctor surrounded by sick people; a doctor's clinic is full of ill people and not healthy ones. Just like that a Guru's place is a factory to rectify the human defects.
Thank you David. ☀️☀️☀️
Tqvm. Wonderful
Many (many) thanks!
thank you thank you for all your wonderful story's you really are a natural story teller ! thanks for sharing your gift it make me a lot more tolerate of my 9 year old sons never-ending storytelling of super heroes lol I guess he might be a story teler like you .Much graduatude .
🕉💙
thanks again for the talks
gracias David
David. Thank you for relaying these stories. I went to the Ashram in 2004, but I think it was in 2002-3 I read a story, perhaps it was the Mountain Path, or just shared stories on the web... not sure. A young woman had brought her depressed friend to the Ashram, and Bhagavan (seemingly intuiting her situation) went out of his way to eat with the depressed woman (which is rare for him to do) and giving her a little special attention. The depressed individual left the ashram having felt better it stated, as I recall. Do you remember this story? I thought I asked you this at the Ashram in 2004 and you said you had not.
Those are indeed fortunate who are blessed by the Guru's or the Lord's assurance "Fear not".
Thank you so much!
Blessings!
The stories of Bhagavan are amongst the deepest and definitely most inspiring I have heard. That being said I can’t imagine that doo doo in the hands story lol Bhagavan must have been in an extremely bad way for that to happen is all I can think........ with your hands??? how in tha hail do you catch......ohh whatever lol
Pranams David... very inspiring..
Thank You!
I love Mangos too .Thank you
Thank you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
GRATIDÃO!!!
🙏❤
Děkuji za české titulky:)
🙏
🕉🕉🕉🙏
Thanks David. I am looking forward to your narration of stories of Bhagawan's childhood friend Vilacheri Ranga Iyer and his brother Mani.
Cheenu Srinivasan The filming was done over a year ago and those topics didn't come up.
🙏🌺
These stories are so beautiful and you are a good storyteller. Where can one find more stories about Ramana Maharishi?
+Nur ses Many of the stories I told came from my own books: Nothing Ever Happened, No Mind - I am the Self, Living by the Words of Bhagavan and The Power of the Presence. If you go to the Ramanasramam site you can find many books that contain more and different stories about Bhagavan.
+David Godman Thank you, having these stories told by yourself,accompanied with the video footage and photographs of Ramana and devotees, make them so vivid. Gratitude for your work and people around you.If it is meant to happen, I hope to visit Arunachala and Ramana's ashram soon. Blessings.
Thing is that if bad things arise, they are happening within consciousness, how can we be separated from them.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏 thanks
Great example
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Peace.
Perumal Swami: "I am going to hell"
Maharshi: "I am there also"
Mental hell no doubt. But was that affirming, I wonder.
23:42
I believe Maharshi is suggesting that there is no place that I am not (he is not). The mental hell is a temporary (illusive) shadow over the substratum, the Maharshi.
Hell is just a manifestation, misunderstanding, and misidentification of the psyche. It’s all due to ignorance of the self. Hell is just one big misunderstanding. The true self of perumal Swamy is not that hell- it is the same self that is shining in Maharishi. So underneath all that madness of psychic hell, is the omnipresent Self, where Maharishi resides.
Bubba the Self
Exactly:)
David Godman is blessed like Sanjaya.
❤️❤️❤️
thank sir
Thanks
⚡ACTIVATED⚡
thanks
beautiful as always with wonderful photos! - Will you give a talk on Satyamayi (Lucy Ma) sometimes?
Dear David
It would be grateful if you include The language Tamil and Bhagavan's skill and command over the language in your narration as one of the topic. I would like to know your point of view. Thanks
Dear David, in the film "The Call of the search" Papaji sings a song about it?
Many thanks David.

David..How can we stop the mind ?...its nature is constantly think. at the most I can stop triggering new thoughts. suppose I stop forcibly, next step is to focus on I thoughts root. Even to do this I need to trigger a thought . So again my mind will get activated. so how is it actually done ? or only people like Papaji grace required for this ?
How and where can I meet David Goodman?
Mr. Godman, Please tell us what Sri Ramana said about service. Is service to spiritual organizations required on the path to Self-realization?
david, what kind of chants did Ramana have people do? i would like to practice these chants when i'm having trouble with making my mind be quiet.
Hello Sir. If someone beats sadhu, they should follow sadhu dharma. What if they r assaulting a small child, woman, son, mother, sister? What should a sadhu do?
"Namo yamyacha kshemyacha" "I am " is there in hell too..Bhagawan is ....Bhagawan
Apostkes creed states jesus descended into Hell. Some christians believe god is with them in their sufferings. Others believe Satan is cause of any sufferings.
Why do so many people who follow Advaita Vedanta, even Nisargadatta, eat animal products I don't understand.
Mae rik 🌫Hitler was vegetarian- filthy Madonna is vegetarian - both low life’s ...
Don’t be so self righteous.
In fact Hitler loved animals. He had his cat in his bunker too. People are complicated. Accepting and perceiving human nature for what it is, is part of Advaita practice. It is extremely liberating to not get worked up over human nature!
@@apples-girl9210 yes, while Jesus was a non vegetarian jew. Ramakrishna ate fish. Complicated..
Not difficult. Humans are interdependent on animals for our health and the health of the planet. HH The 14th Dalai Lama also eats meat. Animal protein and animal fats build and maintain the human body. They are essential.
@@wokeymcwokeface1974 That Hitler was a vegetarian is a myth.
Seems that he was in extremely jealous and Left behind
Demonstration
Thank you.
🙏🙏
