These recordings are from live Satsangs at Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia. All the pointers during the Satsang are compiled by Dr Vidya Narasimhan and Shloka recital by Neelakantan ji.
Satsang is a Sanskrit term derived from two roots: sat meaning "true’" and sangha meaning community, company, or association. It can be translated as "associating with good people" or simply "being in the company of truth," and refers to the act of gathering with Sattvic-minded, uplifting beings, especially spiritual seekers.
Satsang is different from any course or lecture because the energy field in it allows for clarity, stillness, and expanded awareness to be experienced by those who seek it.
Whenever something increases your awareness of the Truth, it opens your Heart and quiets your mind.
Satsang is one of the most effective means of transcending your mind and staying in the egoless state which can be called enlightenment, liberation, freedom, moksha, nirvana or simply abiding in Self.
We call our Satsang lovingly as Bhagavan Satsang as they are all due to his grace, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.
According to Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi Satsang means only Atma Sang(Association with Self). Those who are trying to be in Self can come in the company of realized beings/Sadhus/Saints/Sages and that is also Satsang. Those who come in the company of Jivanmuktas also become Jivanmuktas.
Bhagavan explained the importance of Satsang by quoting Tayumanuvar, Suta Samhita, and Kaivalya Navanitam.
Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi is widely thought of as one of the most outstanding Indian spiritual teachers of recent times. Having attained enlightenment at the age of 16, he was drawn to the holy mountain of Arunachala in southern India and remained there for the rest of his life. Arunachala mountain itself is considered to be self-manifested Lingam, an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Just by looking at it with reverence liberation will happen.
Attracted by his stillness, quietness, and teachings, thousands sought his guidance on issues ranging from the nature of God to daily life.
The philosophy of Advaita or Non-Duality has become, along with Buddhism, one of the most popular spiritual paths being pursued by those interested in enlightenment today. During the past three decades, Advaita has become more widely recognized in the West through the ever-growing popularity of Ramana Maharshi. His point of view has for its aim Self-realization. The central path taught in this philosophy is the inquiry into the nature of Self, the content of the notional 'I-thought'. Carl Jung wrote of Ramana: “Sri Ramana is a true son of the Indian earth. He is genuine and, in addition to that, something quite phenomenal. In India, he is the whitest spot in a white space. What we find in the life and teachings of Sri Ramana is the purest of India; with its breath of world-liberated and liberating humanity, it is a chant of millenniums.”
Om Peace Peace Peace.

Listening only to this one satsang is better than reading thousands of books on spirituality. Simple,profound and direct teachings of Bhagavan are brought forth beautifully.Many thanks to Dr Sanjay Raghav and Congratulations to the conscious circle team for doing excellent work for humanity.
“We’ve sold ourselves
to the mind” and
enslaved our hearts
to its harsh task-
master: ego.
So powerful
🙏🙏🙏
Excellent 👌👍
❤ Thank you 🙏

Light and darkness are the same just as the objective reality and the normal reality are the same isn’t it
🌺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌺❤❤❤
Best lecture ever... ❤️🙏
One step fwd and backward....It is Kripa only. See, I am born as a Christian....The Masapatomian religions are post mortem religion.
When I totally changed, people around me alo has become peaceful.. 🙏👍🌳

Bhagavan is us. We are Bhagavan. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you,Dr.Sanjay Raghav for excellent lecture
The day I was born I started questioning my existence and haven't stop for 66 years . I'm so happy I found what I was looking for. 🙏. No more questions.
Same here
If you found what you were looking for, that’s not it.
@@shivadasa whoa..pls elaborate
@@Divinegame580 Pure loving Awareness, which I am, is not an object which is subject to finding. In order to find something-indeed some “thing”-one must make that thing the object of one’s search. Awareness is eternally the subject and thus can never be an object. Of anything. The play of Maya is Awareness searching for Itself in objects. Once Awareness remembers who It is, the search is simply abandoned because the realization is made: I am that which I was seeking.
@@shivadasa thank you
Woow...woow ..🎉❤
My heart is full of gratitude for your wonderful teaching ❤
Thank you Dr.Sanjay 🙏. I’m grateful to you🙏

Wow - impressive use of words to point beyond words
🙏Om Namah Shivay 🙏 Thanks.
Boat on the water, but no water in the boat.
Thank you bhagavan
thank you ramana das
Another masterpiece, Sanjay. Greatly appreciated
Profound and spirituality insightful - and so simple, in truth. It's only the Mind/Ego that complicates life and makes strong attachments to all sorts of unnecessary stuff of life. Just to be and to observe from an impartial, neutral position, brings peace and pure bliss. Thank you so much for sharing this great and essential wisdom of Sri Ramana. Be blessed!
Thank you Dr. Sanjay.
Beautiful❤️
I agree with you. It's now or never. There's all at stake for me.
Thank you
Saying that mindfulness and other meditations are useless is extreme and simply untrue.
We (obviously) cannot get liberated/awakened instantly. We do need a path and a teacher. So, we need various techniques, symbols etc., to help us practice this witnessing awareness, but also wisdom and open-heartedness in order to drop the ego.
As Mingyur Rinpoche said: “Meditation is really a process of nonjudgmental awareness.”
True.. but have to drop all teachings eventually... The language of the self is silence 🤐
Thank you Bhagavan 🙏 Thank you Dr. Sanjay🙏
For the first time today discovered the witness... my mind would start babbling away & i didnt follow stream of thoughts just stayed with this "something " that was watching & there was a peace a gap everytime... hard to explain ..the key for me was knowing that it is ALWAYS here now.. thru wisdom teachings & you just "do nothing " this teaching use to frustrate me no end..how to do nothing but you just be still & dont engage the mind.. every time a thought pops up you just watch it ...the effortlessnes.. i now finally understand...hope writing this helps you who are reading this to persist...& thankyou for such a precious gem in this site 💕💕
Thank you, this is helpful to hear
This guy knows exactly what he's talking about. I have spent 20 years on Ramana's technique (being aware that you're aware) but my ego had a lot of tricks and there were many beliefs that were deep rooted that's why it's taking so long.
Arunachal Shiva 🕉☮️🎼🥰😇🧘🏽♀️
thank you
I'll be strong. I mean it thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Sanjay....So helpful to be reminded to just be the observer....Much gratitude for your presence and Bhagavans...🙏🙏🤍
Thank you Dr. Sanjay
So feel blessed to gain the understanding , thank you so much
There is no need to believe in any God or in reincarnation. Our intelligence is capable of seeing things coming in the way to leading a peaceful life and liberating ourselves from those hindrances.
🕉 Arunachala Shiva 🕉
Thank you 🙏🏼🧡Thank you Dear Ramana Das
I’m free
Each sentence meaningful. It comes from his being. It is Osho who has put me in the path.....Meditation, Vipasana are A for Apple, B for boy, C for Cat.... Move forward.....I feel for common people, these are required for some time. I did it for about one year .....But there are exceptional people like Ramana, who come directly, that shows past life 🙏👍🌳
YOUR WORDS ARE SO....
💙💛🧡❤️🙏😇 MAHARSHI, GUADAPADA. YOU AND I, AM IAM. STAY CLOSE AND ALLOW CIRCUMSTANCES TO PROVIDE. A DISHWASHER JOB W/ CURRIED VEGGIES SOUNDS OK WITH ME/SELF 🤣
Thank you so much 🙏such a great reminder, just be 🙏🙏🙏
A beautiful satsang. Amazing pointings & guidance.
Blessing for the sharing.
Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachalaramanaya

My only guru is he,gods silence and
Presence.(watching attachment and
Aversion) gods the doer…
glory to Mahavatar Babaji 🇮🇳❤
My only goal self realization
Jai Raman Maharishi 🙏

Questions from a very interested but still very confused & deluded mind.
Dear Dr. Sanjay Raghav thank you again for another wonderful Satsang.🙏 I think I understand the idea of why preferences, likes/dislikes would be a block & barrier to enlightenment & that all such things are nothing more than the delusions of a conditioned, dualistic mind & ultimately non-existent ego that just doesn't want to be exposed to & dissolved by the Light of Truth. I've been told by the masters of wisdom that the entire Multiverse of all phenomena is not real but the Divine Dream of the Infinite/Eternal/Real but obviously I still do not understand this correctly.
1) How does one not have a like & preference for the teachings/pointings of the masters of wisdom such as Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi?
2) How does one not prefer Light/Love/Truth over, not their opposite since that is the ignorance of duality, but the complete lack of this, which is Darkness/Hate/Delusion?
3) How does one not have dislike, aversion, anger & even hatred for the injustice of industrial scale exploitation/oppression, rape/pedophilia, slavery/torture & murder/war/genocide of humanity & all life on this planet?
4) How does one see the divinity in & remain non-attached to the horrors of the egos Insanity?
Maybe I don't understand but I have been told about the natural cycles of time & that human civilization is nearing the end of this Kali-Yuga & that it is always darkest at the end of Kali-Yuga before the dawn of the new Sat-Yuga but still..
5) How is one not supposed to have a preference for the teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana over those of Adolf Hitler for example?
It seems to me that in these final years of this Kali-Yuga, human civilization is devolving & degenerating rapidly & that the number of followers of both the teachers of Bhagwan's Knowledge/Love & the teachers of Hitler's Ignorance/Insanity are growing rapidly as well.
6) Is perfect non-attachment & freedom from fear & desire only to be realized through the deepest Self-Inquiry & total Self-Surrender?
Aren't these all really the same question?
glory to prabuddha mahabharatam 🇮🇳
How grateful I am, by Grace, my mind can ‘ hear’ these words from the Absolute ✨🙏. These satsangs are like nectar flowing inside me. Thank you ❤️
Wonderfully explained
glory to sri ramakrishna 🇮🇳
Thank you 🙏🏻 💕
I will I. will. love your response. it really is for me.
Thank you so much 🙏
Witness consious !
thank you.
Thank You for making us realise that just be an "observer", in it's true sense. I too practiced being an observer, but this culprit mind somehow sneaked inside and started commenting on things and persons, without my being aware of it. As a result, thoughts emerged and took me for a ride. Sometimes, I remembered and then once again started being an observer. Thanks for pointing that this mind is an imposter and makes us think that we are the thoughts. So if someone passed a caustic comment, I used to feel bad/ hurt. I really wanted to get rid of this mind which keeps going outward. No mind, no thought. Just be emersed in the Self, which is totally unaware of everything and everyone in this so called world. Mind will automatically dwindle by itself. That will be Real Relief! Thank You for your timely support, when life is still there and be an observer of the destruction of our enemy, the mind. 🙏🙏🙏 Jai Shree Ramana Maharshi 🙏🙏🙏

thank you so much.
my addictions have been the problem. thought i could get around it . how stupid. I will heed everything you have offered me.❤❤❤❤❤
Whatever progress we make in this life carry fwd to another life. 👍🙏🌳
merci SANJAY
😍❤😍
glory to arunachala 🇮🇳ramana 🇮🇳
Meister Eckhart said, "If the only prayer you ever pray is 'Thank you', it will be enough." I thank The Absolute for his grace in supplying all that I need in this brief window of time which we call a human life.
I also thank him for his grace in leading me to find your satsang. From the eternal silence I hear the gracious Lord speaking to me more every day. Thank you for keeping the broadcast going.
Could you possibly give an English translation of the Arunachala chant that opens each satsang. I love
the melody and I know the brief verses are full of sacred meaning. I can feel that in my heart.
Thank you
Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya

👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙌❤We are sure in the minority! We see so much going around us, that we just have to be quiet and be a witness!! It's just very sad that people in their old age just want to do more & more, working for children and grandchildren! They think if they stop all this work that they will get bored, maybe sick and then just die! They just don't know about this beautiful knowledge and what they are missing! Very sad and unfortunate. Thank you Brother Sanjay and to all those responsible for this video! Love and blessings to All!🥰😇❤🙏🙏🤗🤗
My disclaimer before watching this:
The thing about this talk and any other talk in general is that they make the listener feel good from an intellectual point of view.
The listener goes, “mmm hmm yes I agree”. But the listener actually has to follow the advice and quiet his mind enough to reach a more tranquil state of being.
He or she has to find the time out of the daily schedules to dive into meditation…Or be inward focused at all times doing anything during the waking hours in silence observation of self.
This talk is drawing the listener out of himself and engaging the very intellect which must be turned off.
All that said, I, along with countless others on this path are indubitably drawn to talks like this due to our failures of having quieted the mind. Thank you for the valuable discourse from the great spiritual teachers.
15:27 is key!! No middleman!
❤️🌺🌹🙏🥰🥰🥰
Meditation tools are akin to Satsang and yet here we are listening to you. It’s all a trap that needs to be addressed through both meditation and self inquiry and Satsang helps:/) 🙏
Who is the speaker. Looks like he already established himself in ramana state. Would like to keep intouch with him if it is so💥💥💥
😊💚🙏✨
that concerns me the most.
Very good
❤❤❤❤
♥♾
🙏🏼💜
will dedicate whole day and night to observation. very concerned I wont make it. wont give up. thank you.❤
You don’t have to be observer all the time. This is just philosophical statement and no evidence that it helps.
Priya Kulkarni: philosophical and conceptual is precisely what it is not. The beauty and truth of these teachings are experiential. Please try it before you dismiss it. I used to think like you, my friend, until I actually put it into practice. It's changed my life forever. Be blessed!
@@carlfigueiredo2095 100%☑️
Gratitude 🙏
❤️🕊🕊🙏
How can I thanks u?
And bhagavan, I m pamar jiva tuchh jiva. 🙏🙏🙏
going to get busy right now!
I'm meditating but dont seem to make the progress mess. I'm doubling down right this minute. please send your grace and I will do my part now. the pull of this world is so great. not giving up. namaste.
Don’t think about progress. There is no progress to be made. You are already observing. Simply practice, continue meditation throughout the day. The goal is to be alive, and you are alive! Just be total, in the all the hills and valleys. The pull of the world is great I know, a lot of distraction. Remember.. Enlightenment is already present within you. 🙏🏼
check out jiddu Krishnamurthy man this guys are so limited even Ramana maharishi
The word meditate is misleading. It implies doing something. If observing the mind is doing something then make effort to do that-- observe.
What has helped me is listening to some of the videos at the Nonduality Podcast channel by Randall Friend. One video is called What's Beyond Thought? I've gotten to point where I don't have to sit and meditate but I'm meditating all day long because all I am doing is observing but as Randall Friend would say even the word observe is a mind concept.
Hope this helps.
@@anatureperson5551 yeah but observation without me involving is meditation if ur brain is recording everything then it will take all credits which strengthen ego
Take it easy. Enjoy. Don’t get stress out. Meditation is not the end of world 🌎: one cannot be observing all the time. Self awareness and self consciousness is not possible. Mind automatism many times takes over. Mind has been there for millions years
There should be no effort to become what we already are is the dying of the me isn’t it that has to happen and we cannot make it happen. please comment
I think you’re right, and it’s a flow between effort and ease… but really nothing needs to be “done.” Whether we choose action or stillness, the ultimate is unf***withable 😂😇. And it’s more of a remembering/surrendering to again experience oneness with the ultimate.
I need medication because I suffer from a mental illness.(bipolar) I keep on observing my mind even during much suffering. I also have an autistic son who is quite demanding. These teaching help me immensely, as they are written on my heart. Is there a chance to become pure awareness when I take the meds? Thankyou! ❤😊
Yea.. keep working at it and u won't need meds no more..
Isn’t knowing that you are an observer still an object subject reality?
I loose this stillness while talking with others😐
Maybe avoid people until you are established ?
👍🙏
Thank you 🙏🏼. I have a question about “not doing for others “ - what if the others is your parents, and what if they cannot afford to go on a vacation and their only way to do so is if I take them (and I want to take them) and at my own cost (and I feel I can cover it)… so in this case, because I’m willing to do so, is that from ego or from self? I would really appreciate your thoughts Dr Sanjay 💜🙏🏼
If you conceive an “I” which is taking them, paying for it, etc., then it is from ego. If you take the approach that God is causing everything to happen and therefore “I” am not doing anything (and make sure to give God the credit for everything “you” might otherwise congratulate yourself for), then you will be okay. It helps to renounce the fruits of all skillful actions, but for sure avoid taking any personal credit (in the form of pride) for it. Om namahshivaya.
Relax from all concepts
Sir
How to watch it from a distance??
How to be an observer???!!!
Not able to
How does one disappear when being a mother ? It’s a hard thing to accomplish, I know I can do it because I AM that I AM … it’s like I’m a really strong force here on earth but these kids keep me in the 3d world soooo confusing haha ❤️🌈☀️🥳 I welcome all pointers
You already are the observer. Just expand the point of reference of the observer to limitless satcitananda. Or collapse it to Shunyata.
The mind🤬
