Who Am I?: The Teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi Paperback – November 30, 2008

Insights are very valuable. They are concisely written. It is a great short text for understanding into ourselves and a great guide to spiritual happiness.

An enduring classic, rich in wisdom. It has changed the way I approach meditation. I highly recommend this timeless book.

Ramana became my main human guru in this life about two years ago, and has possibly been the most noticeably transformative for me, though, without the preparation from the others throughout my earlier life, this may have not been noticeable. Christ having been my first known guru in this life. (Though both my grandmothers were in some ways, also gurus to me, though unbeknownst to them) Buddha my second, then Soka Gakkai Nichiren Buddhism played its part, then Eckhart Tolle, then Ramana. Nisargadatta Maharaj and Papaji, also of the time of Ramana, have been guru's for me as well. However, it is Ramana and his direct path to enlightenment that has guided me most directly. I know however, that all find their needed guru(s) according to their own need and spiritual path. The wisdom of the path directed by Ramana is simple and to the point. Not all will be ready for this. If you are ready, it will come to you, and you will know.

I got this book because of the title: Teachings of Ramana Marharshi. The highest truth that Sri Ramana Marharshi has imparted to seekers is that nothing is real but the Self, and that the individual soul, world, and God are nothing but the Self, is a very subtle truth not easily grasped by the mind. The question and answer format is like sequential steps guiding the seeker, one question and answer at a time toward greater clarity into the method of Self-inquiry. Even though I was quite disappointed at first by how brief the pages were, those 28 questions and answers have packed the entire truth of the universe in the palms of our hands. I'm very grateful for the publisher's contribution in making the Sage's teachings into a user-friendly version. It was truly a creative endeavor and service to all sincere seekers truth.Thank you!

Sri Ramana Maharshi is a Way shower to spiritual liberation. He speaks truth to all who would hear his words.

Ramana Maharshi melts my heart, soothes my mind, entices my spirit. This oh so brief work carries within all the knowledge you'll ever need to remember who you are in the endless sea of wholeness.

I read some of the reviews where people were disappointed in the length of the book, since this book has only 16 pages and have to say that Sri Ramana Maharshi is truly a master. This book is however not written for the one that wants to entertain the mind, but wants to free their true Self from mind. You can't value a book that has the ability to change your life, by it's length but only by it's content. This book does not include unnecessary fluff and gets straight to the point. I value my time and appreciate the writers that value my time and don't fill books with things that question my intelligence. This book contains profound information to the one who is truly seeking and ready to embark on a Journey within.

When we quiet our mind with the thought “Who Am I?” our thoughts (and indeed the world they create) are destroyed until the mind recedes back into the heart, and only Awareness remains. This is Existence-Happiness-Bliss. It is liberation from the misery of desire and fear, and it is a return to our origin.Although this book is extremely short, it introduces a powerful practice of self-inquiry capable of transforming ourselves and our world.Thoughts arise, but they are not us. The world seems real, but it is projected from our mind. We seem separate, but we are one.
