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.
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.

Thank you sooo much, Sanjay! ❣️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Its lucky to have such teachings in good English.
Very, very well explained - with a friendly, patient and likeable voice! Thank you so much for this gem! 🙏
Pain and suffering are Blessings that bring ego to the end of itself.
🙏💜🙏
Would you like me to send a bunch of demons to you to increase your suffering/enlightenment?
Om shanti shanti 🙏
In PURE AWARENESS there is no diversity whatsoever...
Your every thought is trance...a spell...brought upon Awareness...which is Peace Itself...
.
It's all a play of consciousness
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
🙏
📿✨♾
Thank you so much for this wonderful satsang appreciate your putting it in such simple words
The more you interact with world and people. Mind goes out and is never at rest
I think the point is to interact with the world and with people, without stopping to be conscious at the same time. The Self is the observer who watches all activities from a point of silence, timelessness and stillness.
Many thanks
Your satsangs are far more productive than any other advaita satsungs on CZcams.
Om Ramanaya Namah
Thank you
This is absolute pure, highest, ultimate wisdom. With deep gratitude and love, Namaste. 🙏❤️🕊
When I first began studying Ramana I went through a phase of ignorance where I just thought I plainly did not exist. It's that state where you know what you are not but don't know what you are. I am the Self. I am. I alone am.
Beautifully said.
I had that feeling all during my twenties when reading Buddhism.
I had to not exist.
And striving for it.
By my thirties ego ran the show for the next 2 decades.
It has taken 3 decades and finally finding the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and especially this channel, that peace has come over "me".
To experience that the expansion of Self, rather than the contraction (to non-existence) of self leads to non-self.
To see all as "I am that I am" , brings a contentment and peace that evaded me 3 decades ago.
I could understand intellectually the teachings of Buddha and Patanjali back in the 90s , but not experience "it".
The bliss.
Just that.
So simple.
🙏
I'm thankful for both of your "teachings". I think you are saying the words that I needed to hear. Thank you both
So you say that YOU alone "AM" ?
What about me here? I do feel that I exist too.
What to do now?
Do you have your own consciousness and are you really real or are you my imagination and only I exist? Do I talking all the time to myself? Am i alone?
@@michaelg.8935
Dear, you need to spend a lot of time to really understand what is being said. It's not something you can grasp easily. And despite trying your best, it may take it's own time. So relax and enjoy
@@michaelg.8935
Any way I will try to explain. Take an example of your dream world. Many characters do various activities in the dream and the dream appears very real when it is happening. So who is orchestrating the activities of the dream characters. It's your conciousness and even though many characters appear, it is really only the dreamer' s conciousness.
Similarly this universe which you feel is real is nothing but a prolonged dream and whatever you are perceiving is nothing but conciousness. So everything is nothing but conciousness.
Just like when a dream collapses, all the characters in it disappear; similarly one day this cosmic dream is going to collapse into that which is real
Thanks Sanjay …. So pleased to have found your teaching.
Grateful for this satsang🙏
Only God exist and everything else is an illusion.
…. So we don’t exist?
@@RomiW Your body is only a temporary vehicle in this 3D world but the mind and ego mislead you into believing that everything about your body represents your true self. The Self is pure consciousnessI am/God, that is within us. But....Right now with the body and mind, you exist as a person. Humans are capable of experiencing both pain and joy. To believe otherwise is delusory. The only thing to remember is to control the ego so that you don't get carried away with all the emotions created by the mind.
I like to refer to the God-SELF which helps me get past the mind barrier and to further understand .
I really love these satsangs… he talks with so much love and understanding for us human beings who are still on the journey ;-)) it’s a pleasure to listen and hopefully get a bit closer to the truth… 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️ Namaste
See the Ribhu Gita on CZcams which supports this teaching .

"From garbage to God" Beautiful🗻
This nothing exits but you is the most fabulous talk I have heard in my life it is beyond this time and space it's state of turiya when u wake up from this waking dream blessing ❤
🙏🏻
Once you realize ,all is an illusion freedom happens.What more is there?Then why is desire a problem because body, mind and Ego is an illusion anyway?
Such a wonderful speech
Thank you Sanjayji...once again no words to express my gratitude...
a real jnana... for a true sadhaka ..
Humble pranams....👌👌👌👌
🌺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌺
❤❤❤❤❤
Personally, I have found that mind can more easily adapt to "Self alone exists" as opposed to "body mind does not exist". The body mind I find to be tenacious and the anchor for the delusion.
And I suppose rightfully so, inasmuch as our most primal nature has survival as its function. So the ego would certainly co-opt this drive.
So helpful. Thank you.🙏
These satsangs are always as beautiful and inspiring, but , they are also from my mind’s projection, right ?
Thank you so much for your lovely talk. Silence- A great reminder for me to work on.. Grateful for your recordings..
🌺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌺❤❤

💚🙏
It’s interesting I am observing ego is hitting back at me, I guess it’s a good thing. But the transformation is not easy.
MERCI SANJAY
It is exclusively a consciousness activity. Consciousness minds itself into an illusory existence. Jeeva just an illusory victim of this give and take within consciousness. What consciousness supposes of itself that it perceives of itself as. And ends up being a Jeeva.
I accepted, all is illusory the first time I heard it especially since nothing else makes sense to me.
These comments on language. My feelings exactly. The H-word used on trivials. A loss of intelligence, of moderation, of subtleties, of reality.
In this world of opposites, the many male wise ones are counterbalanced by the feminine: I am my (my!) body, I own it and honor it and care for it and do not make anyone responsible for it needlessly. A misunderstanding of the patriarchal teachings has resulted in a flaw in the consciousness movement in America, the dear body treated like a machine, controlled, alienated. Living in Paradox/Paradise comes from the marriage of opposites, which vacillate all the time. Matter matters, "non-existence" notwithstanding. Women (who have come into ego later than men) have a different experience than their brothers.
Thank you for the profound wisdom of this talk. I like the voice, its tone and the energy behind it.
😊💚🙏✨
If God has created the whole existence then He is responsible for everything good or bad happening in this existence and we are only helpless like puppets .
Yes..we get used as puppets to deliver the karma ..but it's all an illusion ..but got is both good and bad
The course of miracles says that this reality is only a dream (an ilusion) and we project everything that happens here. … it goes further and is very interesting. I recommend it to everybody who is interested in non duality spiritual awareness.
No u are the creator of your thoughts
@@annaf172 Yes. But I am talking about the creator of the universe, if any.
@@jdghosh3112 dear j D i just saw your message i will answer you shortly.
I am convinced that what happens is not as per my plan but due to His wish. However, one still has to act and do whatever one can thinking it to be His order. How do I know that it is NOT his wish what I am trying to achieve?
I must admit that I am getting a lot of great information from your comments. I can understand your dialogue.
Namaste Sanjay Ji,
Can you talk about your experience about working as a doctor and how the Ego does not come up? You still have to keep up with your certifications etc, I am sure....but how do you not "act" from the ego space? I am having trouble with this ...
Same here
When something painful is happening in our lives, how can we just sit back, keep quiet and be happy? Consider someone who is tortured on a daily basis. Will you advise the person to just sit back and keep quiet?
The sage would do what he could to escape the predicament and if this was not possible then acceptance that whatever was happening was not of our doing but the Will of God. I would encourage you to just listen to as many teachings as you can and resist the urge to jump in and disagree as this is the ego who thinks he is a doer. The teachings of Advaita provides knowledge which results in ignorance dropping away. Sanjay uses the direct teaching …this takes time to integrate and takes patience and earnestness.
love the talks keep em coming .. if i may say would be useful to create a playlist of talks and meditations seperately if possible ? thanks.
Beautiful Satsang. Thank you so much for these videos 🙏🙏.. Just a question- When I am doing some activity that needs attention like my job or household chores - I forget and struggle to stay as a witness. Scenarios like this - How to be in awareness? Also when you have things to do or complete during the day - how to apply this ‘Non doer’ attitude?
Know you are not the doer. The activities you do during the day is service. You are not the doer. When you do your activities not as service or worship, you do it for yourself; ego. When you do your activities with your ego, you still identify with the body and mind.❤
Offer it to your Higher self..thus divinise all yr thoughts,words n actions to God or Higher Self in yr mind. That way you stay in Awareness always but it takes practice n time
Beautiful one day. Perfect the next in Brisbane. Any satsang centres in Brisbane?
Without the word "not " in the first highlighted saying of Ramana Das, would be more appropriate? (humble notice)
There is NO mind in deep sleep
Can we actually will ourselves into knowing Self/Awareness Or does one need an awakening to truly realize it? Conceptually I know it but my mind doesn’t.
Thank you master, I don't understand why we reject the so called illusion, these are part of the overall. For me there is only pure existence like the water of the sea and waves are the manifestations.
As Turya for the 3 others states. Then I can be the me and be like the eye seeing the me as part of the universal flow and then I can connect within my heart to the pure existence.
I'm still me:-) But in adoration with this pure existence every where in movement. Do I'm on the right track Master ? I'm alone on this way. I added some yoga techniques like pranayama breathing.
If life is already predetermined then when we try to change things or we “hate” things, with our ego, isn’t that also predetermined? In other words, isn’t the ego predetermined such that we have no control?
I tend to agree with this. There is then only one remaining question left to explore ,, respectfully of course : why all of this ??
Or why not?
@@Iinfiniteknowing right on ;)
It is a play of consciousness until you know the truth, and only God exists who is you . Yes you
@@annaf172 True
Please do not talk nonensence. It does not make any sense of what you speak.
Thank you for these videos, I've really enjoyed them. I wonder, regarding surrender, what about when (within the dream) we are presented with a choice or command to harm another? I think about what a sage might do if they are ordered to join a military draft and to kill. Aside from Krishna encouraging Arjuna to go to war, I think most sages tend to suggest that one should leave brutal, dualistic societies when one can. The hermitage, the refuge. When the dream becomes brutal, what do sages do?
It’s not you or the vigilante doing the deeds. It’s god playing ALL the parts. GODS killing (or saving) GODS. This will all click if you listen to Neville Goddard.
Superb sir. One small submission here is that Kaliyuga has just started with around 5000+ years only gone. We still have a very very long way to go sir. Your programs are excellent..wish I can participate regularly . Is there any online connection for such satsangs.please.i feel very beneficial sir

I get caught in regards to the waking and dream states being the same. This is a major doubt that I cannot seem to get an answer to anywhere… Ramana Maharishi states that there is no real difference between the waking state and the dream state, only one is short and one is long. If this is true, than either beings in dreams have an apparent separate consciousness, meaning they also perceive the dream me as other beings do in the waking state, or this philosophy of Ramana’s is pointing to solipsism. Very difficult subject to debate, as at the end of the day there is no way to solve it without making an assumption
I happen to dream a lot, very lucid and sometimes I do know that I’m dreaming. But while in the dream state and completely identified with it, there is truly no difference in my interactions with apparent others as in the waking state. They appear to be conscious beings, interacting we me. There could be five of us arguing different points of view, and I’m somehow on every side of that argument. It’s really mind bending
I guess my question is.. Doesn’t this teaching point to solipsism? Would seem that it does. If not this means that dream people are conscious and dissolve upon the transition to deep sleep or the waking state. Would love to hear your insight 😊🙏🏻
If I may attempt to answer your question. When the Self is being referred to, it's not the ego small self (the thinking mind) that is being referred to but the higher Self that is aware of the small self. And it's not that others don't exist, it's that the awareness (consciousness) that they have that is aware of themselves is the same awareness as the awareness that is aware of yourself. There is only one consciousness which we are all a part of and all share in. And nothing (no-thing) exists outside of it. I hope I'm explaining this in an understandable way? I love this quote from Nisargadatta Maharaj.....
'I am’ itself is God. The seeking itself is God. In seeking you discover that you are neither the body nor mind, and the love of the self in you is for the self in all. The two are one. The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.
@@jamesmoore4827 Thank you for responding James. This is the understanding that I’ve settled on. As if I’m going to assume, I am going to assume all apparent egos are conscious. However, it does not really solve the problem, as there’s no way to verify someone else’s experience. If you are going to assume that the conscious in you and the consciousness in me are appearing as two though really one, than this would also have to be the experience in the dream state for Ramana’s teaching about the waking and dreams being the same to be correct. Meaning dream people would also have to be conscious, which is equally hard to believe as everyone in the waking state being unconscious. You can say tht it is all one, so nothing really exists, and nothing ever happened. Which is ultimately true, but this doesn’t address the experience from within the paradigm of separation which is experienced as real while in it
Nisargadatta Maharaj also says to question everything, even his teachings, don’t take anything as true, because nothing is.. Do you remember being born? Did you’re parents create you or did you created them? How do you know for sure? These are questions Nisargadatta Maharaj asks us to ponder
@@michaelmichael7359 I don't believe, that is I don't have any real reason to believe, that what are seemingly only projections of the mind that make up dreams and others In those dreams are actually conscious as we are conscious in everyday experience. And I took Ramana's way of describing this more metaphorically than literally. That is, using as an example the dream state in a metaphorical way to illustrate a point. But you correct, one should not take as Truth anything that one cannot validate or experience for themselves. Having said this, I have no real way of actually knowing if others in the dream state are really conscious or not? I have no real way of actually knowing if others in actual life are really conscious or not? Are you conscious? Are you a figment of my imagination? All I can really know for a certainty is that others are appearing within my own consciousness. In my own experience. And the consciousness is the same in life as in the dream state. So all is still the same One consciousness either way. Have you heard the joke about the room full of solipsists? They were all arguing with each other about who was actually real lol. Ultimately the only thing that is really real is everything in your own experience right now. The eternal now. Everything else is a projection of the mind really. And what is the mind? Absolutely everything that has been observed by anyone, measured by anyone, known by anyone has been so within the realm of consciousness. So are the people in your own direct experience actually real? Is there awareness actually really in there inside that body? Ask yourself, does it really matter one way or another? All I can really say is that "I am". And I have faith that you also can say "I am" or I wouldn't have bothered replying.
@@michaelmichael7359 My advice is to use your own intuition, trust your own intuition rather than trusting thoughts. What is your heart telling you? I trust my intuition and heart over my mind. My intuition and heart have served me greatly and have been a lot more reliable than my thoughts which come and go. Abide in Self.
@@jamesmoore4827 Agreed! 😊❤️

That's not what Ramana Maharshi said, he said that Iswara is real and has a body and liberation inwardly (as the Self). But he said that this is only true from the standpoint of people who believe in the individual soul, so God does exist in the typical sense, that is why the Christian Saints like Francis of Assisi ended up having ego death through the path of devotion to God. Ramana taught the path of knowledge or the path of devotion to God, and said that both lead to each other.
If we are pure consciousness, then why we are experiencing this different manifestation of consciousness unless it has a purpose?.
From my experience of consciousness, pure consciousness is just a highest state of awareness, infinite where the observer is infinity and the observed is infinity and nothing else exists.
and ego is the lowest state, where the observer is finite, singularity and observing the outside manifested consciousness. We cannot be in any of these states permanently, including infinity while we are alive...let's respect the purpose that it is designed only to move from ignorance to wisdom.experiecing death consciously while being aware and alive, liberates from ignorance.
You don't exist 😂🤣😃😂
Why you said that nothing exists except me ?? You are not right for everything what you said.
Yes,there are World 🌍🌎🌏🌍🌏 when we are sleeping.
