Ramana Maharshi’s
Revelation of Liberating Truth
Sri Ramana wrote three core texts—Who am I?, The Essence of the Teaching (Upadesha Saram), and Forty Verses on the Supreme Real. But later, he elaborated on his teaching to his closest disciple, Muruganar, and left many gems of profound clarification that were collected into a book entitled Guru Vachaka Kovai (The Garland of the Guru’s Words). In this retreat, Shunyamurti will make these final teachings accessible and will present systematically their implications for our own practice.
With great reverence for the Sat Guru Sri Ramana, Shunyamurti will endeavor to describe His state of supreme consciousness and the differences between His usual teaching of Drishti-Shrishti-Vada, the penultimate teaching of the mind-boggling Eka-Jiva-Vada, and nearly inconceivable ultimate revelation of Ajata.
Using a combination of guided meditations, silent meditation periods bathed in a powerful energy field of Shakti, and direct transmissions of the Truth revealed by the Maha Rishi Ramana, Shunyamurti will lead you on a journey into the Blissful Self from which your ego mind may never return.
About Shunyamurti
Shunyamurti has studied consciousness from every perspective—as a philosopher, a dream interpreter, a psychoanalyst, a wholistic healer, and a yogi. He was attracted to the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi from early in life, and he has practiced Self-investigation and realization of non-duality throughout his career, integrating all the developmental stages and levels of consciousness into a unified paradigm, to make the attainment of the always already liberated Self more accessible to the seeking being. Shunyamurti is the founder and research director of the Sat Yoga Institute and Ashram in Costa Rica.
His many years of meditation practice and training in different forms of yoga, including apprenticeship in Ashtanga Yoga with Baba Hari Dass, ten years of study with a Raja Yoga ashram in India, and his ongoing deep resonance with Sri Ramana Maharshi as the supreme teacher of Truth in its most refined form have been supplemented by intensive study of Western metaphysics, Buddhism, Taoism, Kabbalah, and mystical Christianity.
Who Am I?
The Realization That brings an End To Karma
In this video teaching, Shunyamurti explains the practice of Self-enquiry on the spiritual path, and why Sri Ramana Maharshi insisted that it is the only means of attaining Self-realization.
That sense of community and commitment to the work and to each other is not something you find out there in your everyday working/living environment. That's something that's really beautiful and inspirational to me, and it holds the truth of the teachings in practice. That really speaks to the place and the work that you're doing here.
Meeting with Shunyamurti was like coming home to myself. It was a very calm and totally transformative experience. There was recognition. I don't think I've ever been in a group with such an authentically loving and heartfelt connection. I'm very touched by how true it feels. It's not an act you put on. It comes from a place of deep intention.
I see Sat Yoga as a refuge for my soul. Sat Yoga is a place in which one can come to exist and to be as human beings should--freely--in which one can communicate consciously, and begin to cure one's heart.
