Who Am I? - Ramana Maharshi - HWL Poonja - Nisargadatta Maharaj (2008 Documentary)
Who Am I? is a 48-minute documentary which explores humanity's eternal quest for the truth of who we really are. From Ramana Maharshi's direct method of self-enquiry to H.W.L Poonjaji's assertion that we are free here and now and the sharp and provocative teaching style of Nisargadatta Maharaj, this profoundly absorbing documentary is a rare visual treat for viewers.
Interweaving precious archive footage, a deeply inspiring narrative and heartfelt interviews with devotees, this beautifully presented film features, amongst others, acclaimed author David Godman and S K Mullarpattan, respected translator to Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Produced with the generous support of Ramanashram and H.W.L. Poonjaji's Avadhuta Foundation, it is a compelling introduction to the extraordinary lives and teachings of three of India's most revered spiritual mystics.
This film was produced in association with Hooper and Moksha Productions for SABC Religion, South Africa. www.mokshamproductions.co.za

It is good to follow the awakened ones for a while. But we have to reach the point when we stop being a devotee or disciple, because otherwise this may prevent our own awakening. Some spend years waiting that the presence of the master will enlighten them. But there comes the moment when you have to turn to the source inside yourself. And you mustn‘t wait too long with that.

Yes perect. If you decide totally: it's enough, now i realize the Self, nothing can stop you. Nothing can keep you away your own Self.
It’s strange that Poonja is mentioned alongside Bhagavan and Nisargadatta. Both Bhagavan and Nisargadatta were in lock step that only through sustained, ardent effort and sadhana, can the vasanas be eradicated. Poonja was infamously ant-Sadhana, so, it’s very strange that he is mentioned alongside them.

It's said by Pieter in his book I Am Awareness: "Ramana spoke of three classes of spiritual aspirant and to each he gave an essential teaching: The first group he compared with gunpowder -a single spark ignites them! For these beings a short exposure to the heat of truth causes transformational results and they realise the Self as soon as they are told about their real nature. The next group he compared with charcoal, saying that a longer application of "heat' is necessary. The third group he compared with wet coal, saying that prolonged heating may be necessary, depending on the dampness of the coal." It seems to me that the teaching or non-teaching depends on the disciple, and the Guru asissts accordingly
“Who am I” self inquiry is the key “I am”. The world is as it is. The brain has only memories of the past and the mind only offers false promise for a future that does not exist, dwell in the present moment.😀
Thousands Thanks Everyone who are attending to preperation of this Wonderful Video !! God Bless You !!
At first person tries to recall his inner world and trying different types of practices and doings , but he easily forgets inner world when busy in world affairs. Then there comes a time when he will become tired of every practices and doings, .. and his sensitivity start to increase. Then there comes a time when his sensitivity becomes so deep that he does not need to remember his inner world but he will get reminder and messages from everything around him and whatever happening inside or outside of him. Everything drags him inside, and he becomes so deep that he starts to understand the inner language which is soundless and formless . Then there comes a time when he will become stunned, surprised by vast beauty , by unlimited joy vaster than any ocean , stillness deeper than any valley. Then he will see his face in the mirror and will be surprised that he never saw and met this person before and everything looks utterly new.

Your Guru? Well aren't you the one to be approved by your Guru, yourself and all the people on KZread.
Initially a person pretends that he is awake. Because he thinks that ,he knows more, he talks more , he struggles more he ask more, he does more. Then one day he sits deeply engrossed into him , Then suddenly he found that he is actually sleeping but not awake. Once someone in reality found that he is sleeping , then sound of wind, then sound of word, then small action , then small gesture make him awake. This sleep is very near to awakening.

Not pretends but the voice in your head goes from bad to good and back to bad because the mind is more and more tricky as silence becomes stronger and stronger it becomes smarter thus good thoughts lead to bad thoughts and back again. The devil on your right shoulder is also the angel on your left shoulder.

Shortly before his physical death, Nisargadatta remarked that someday his teachings on the nature of spiritual enlightenment and truth realization would be understood scientifically. Thanks to recent developments in modern physics, that day is now.

Searching the search will stop If you experience the self which is truth and everything you see with mind is false and mind itself is false. Using mind one should search when you come to know the real self the spark you are immortal.love towards god is process but where is no God. God is every where...inside outside up down there is no such much where there is no God.This is the real Truth.

Through worship (Bhakti), knowledge (Jnana), or action (Karma). Other than that, there is no how. Who is searching in the first place? We only have the question ourselves to a point where silence is attained. But how is silence attained? Who wishes to attain that? We only need to question again and again, going further into investigation by investigating the investigator.

@@parth6115 you are more a what than a who. i am also unknowable. the things you attach to yourself . are not you. and yes you are that. you are mind as well as the observer of mind. as all perceptions are mind
"You are that what is having the thought of you" Of course this i called spiritual soul and the soul is an individual seperate part of God who is the Supreme Brahman. We are not our physical bodies but each are the individual lifeforce within, represented by our own individual consciousness. The reason why you are covered by an individual material body completely different from any other body is because spiritually you are also individual. The people in this video will tell you that we are all nondifferent from each other meaning one energy... and Vedic philosophy states that yes we are non different in quality and as eternal parts and parcels of God we are the same quality as God but we are different in quantity. This is easy to understand because we can see every day all arround us there is different activity to our own activities. Everyone has his own intelligence his own mind and his own body then there is countles variety everywhere. Then there are mostly two types of bodies male and female. Wherever we look there is distinction, but if everything is indifferencially one and the same those things would not exist...because the oneness the people in the video are talking about, is according to their philosophy without any activity and without personality or variety. So according to that their oneness must be somewhere else...because here we cannot find it. If iam you and you are me and there is no truth above that, then we are also the child molester who right now molests a little child. I am sure no one would agree with that. So the Mayavadi gurus mayavadi means someone who believes in illusion say like that. But consider this...If someone has attained the onness state as described and we are all one with each other..the same energy...then everyone in the world should have had naturally and simultaneously the same enlightenment at same moment in time. Has that ever happenened? Nope and i cant ever happen either. noone can become the Absolute Truth. We can only realise that we are eternal individual parts and parcels of the Absolute Brahman one with Him only in Quality but not in quantity. This is called Achintya-bhedabheda-tattva... it refers to the inconceivable oneness and difference of the Supreme Person and the countless spiritual souls everywhere in the universe. This is one of the key points of theistic philosophy taught by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. As parts of God's energy, we're also equal in quality with God, but there's a vast difference in quantity. We're each infinitesimal sparks of spiritual energy, and the Supreme Person, Krishna, is the infinite, supreme source of all energies. Hare Krishna
