Arunachala Shiva and Nandieshwara in Ashram.

Arunachala Ramana with Simple Decoration.

Swamy Ramananda, Ready for his daily Preachings.

Efforts in Ashram, to Construct Arunachaleshwara Temple Complex.

Work in progress, with out any Pressures.

Successful results will come automatically. 

Human efforts for cultivation.

Some good persons have planted these Coconut trees, without Expecting for End Results.

If You have attained Certain Standards in Your  thought process, 

It is impossible to  go back and adopt Your old Standards. 

It is like Staying in five star hotels from the earlier stage of staying in Street side Hotels.

In the path of success ,there should not be any Pressure to reach that success.

For excellent results, all Your efforts should be without any Pressure and duress. 

All efforts should be without any doubts and compulsions.

Instructing to do is different.

Insisting to do is different. 

The second one is laced with Ego and Authority. 

Doing with dedication without worrying about the end result is correct.

Whatever is required for successful life,

all those required things, are there in Your Mind. 

All our problems are due to non acceptance of Reality. 

If we accept the actual Situation then there will not be any problem for Us.

It means we should not succumb to situations and its pressures, and act on It. 

If we act on those situations, it will have adverse reactions.

We have to condition our mind to accept the things which are not under our control. 

The mind has to build up its own strength,

to accept all those things which it Can not Change and remain Content. 

It has to accept the things with whole hearted happiness.

---- Sri Ramana Maharshi.

Can You Tell me Who is Good and who is Bad,

Some may be good for You some may be bad for You.

But for a learned person they all are one No good No bad.

Good and Bad enjoying different things with different Moods Near Holy river Godavari.

Some of them are trying to have a look at Film Stars shooting In a Boat.

For You these Water are dirty These Boats are dirty, Not Floating Guest houses-  isn't It.

For Some these waters are dirty For Some these water are Holy. 

The Holy River Godavari,  Near ashram giving Livelihood for Millions.

What is this ,  A House ?? - Yes.

How can People Live in this - They Live happily Here.

Beautiful Isn't It. Still some shortages here to Live,

No Airconditioned Double Storey Building, No Sea view.

Express highway.

Good and Bad.

Beautiful and Ugly.

Friend and Foe. 

All are there in this Beautiful and Bad World.

Traveling in their Own Paths.

But A learned Person simply Stands alone Like this Floweral Plant.

Always Giving Good direction.

General Public identify themselves with this body, 

which is made of Five elements. 

These people will  have different feeling towards others like,

these are my relations, these are my friends,

these are people adored by me, 

these are people whom I hate, these are my enemies, etc., .

But a learned person will see all these people as One. 

No relations, No friends, No admiration and No animosities.

Just you think about Your own Experiences, 

When you are in Pleasant mood,

the whole word appears to be clean and clear with its Content. 

You will see all Pleasant and beautiful contents of It. 

Similarly, when You are in Bad Mood,

the Whole world appears to be Ugly and dirty with its content. 

You will think that all forces of this world are bad and acting against You. 

With this You can conclude that all is there in our Mind Only. 

This world is nothing but Our own Mind’s Creation.

It is not difficult for an enthusiastic person to Exerience True Self. 

Just observe from where this thought of “ I “ is coming from Body. 

Practice again and again. 

When Practice is not going smoothly ,You have to put in more efforts,

that is the only Option.

Bear the burdens. 

All your focus and concentration should be on self-inquiry and Experiencing Self. 

When we remove our Ignorance and the Ego, 

Then the eternal bliss will be Ours.

Sri Ramana's Graceful Presence in Ashram.

These Puppies have No Knowledge about Fear and they are Desireless.

What Desires this Man Will have ???

Except Good health clothes,Shelter and Food..

The Desires will Grow with endless Awareness.

We Desire a Golf Club Membership. But For this Man that is of No Use.

He is Not aware of  it, it is non existent for him.

The Multi color ceaseless materialistic desires are ready to Consume Your Soul.

The Children are not aware of Millions of Materailistic Desirable things.

What they need is Just Toys, Clothes, and Fun.

Their Desires are limited, they are not laced with Fear.

 

Happy and content, The serene Face of a Kid.

Thank You All friends for entering

The Way of Selflessness - Sri Ramana's Way.

Let us travel together we all are One.

Our Natural state is Tranquility State.  

 But on our own we are embracing the Disturbance.

Then we crave for mental Peace.

In General, Everyone wants peace and Happiness. 

When we are in trouble, we eagerly wait for Peace and Happiness.

We will get relieved by temporary measures and get Satisfaction.

When we are again faced with distress, we start wallowing.

 But we don’t make any attempts for Permanent Prevention of distress

and for Permanent Peace.

For this we approach spiritual Gurus.

We try to adopt different practices.

But we will never try to find out the roots of our Distress.

We will be searching for illusionary  External happiness.

We are Mistaken here.

It is there inside You. 

Happiness is our Natural State. 

Which disturbs this Happiness is our Mind.

If we destroy that Ego,

What remains is total Bliss, our ‘True Self ‘.

We seek something Uninterruptedly. 

With these ceaseless desires " Fear" takes Birth. 

Fear and Desires are Enemies of Happiness. 

When our desires are not fulfilled we are in distress. 

If they are fulfilled another takes birth. 

For fear also the above rules apply. 

If one fear is gone another takes Birth. 

They are like Black Hole, We can’t fill that with anything. 

  The real Happiness comes when there is No fear and No Desire.

Conquering them is real Happiness.

A Desire less person always remains Happy and Peaceful. 

With Practice we will get this Power. 

Remembering Guru itself gives us Graceful Blessings.

– Sri Ramana Maharshi.

He will Not Tolerate any Indiscipline in Meetings.

Shri M.R.Nageshwara Rao, Delivered his lectures on Sri Ramana's Philosophy at Ashram.

Anger is life threatening Enemy.

At the outset it appears to be friendly with you,  with hidden Agenda, 

But you don’t know its Cruelty and raging Speed. 

It is Like double edged sword.

It destroys all Your good Qualities. 

It destroys all your meritorious deeds and merit gained through penance and Pooja’s.

Who will hesitate in doing bad things when

they are under the influence of  This Anger and Rage. 

There will be No rationality of what to speak and what Not , 

 there will be No awareness of What they are talking. 

Under its influence No bad Words or No Bad deeds are left alone, 

they will be uttered and all bad deeds will be done.

It even insults saints and good people with its irritating behavior.

The great people are they who control this ever erupting Anger, 

the raging bullish behavior, with their Intelligent Rationality, 

acts of Mercy, forgiveness in combination with

the Practice of  Self-Inqury.

With self-realization You will have friendship,

Compassion and Love towards all living things.

Arunachala Shiva, with Gods and Godesses Near River Godavari.

Arunachala Ramana, Arunachala Shiva and Nandeshwara On Deepavali day In Ashram.

Swamy Ramananda at a Spiritual Session.

Rangoli decoration by Girls In Ashram.

Fruits of Labor, Banana's are good for health. Let us Grow Fruit bearing Trees and Plants.

Meditation under Mango Tree.Peace is within You.

Inquire within Yourself  to Identify Yourself.

The Childhood passes with all Fictional games. 

In Youth we are with bodily desires and also with amorous activities, 

and ensure our mind to be torn apart.

In old age we become weak with debilitated body. 

Then,  when we will try for Eternal Bliss. 

Death may come at any time, at any country  or at any Place. 

So there should not be Any Leniency  In learning about “True Self”.

By listening some preachings we can gain some Knowledge. 

But detachment with worldly passions is possible

with great determined efforts and Dedication.

All these Things and Products are available for us,

in this world, through Human Efforts. 

When a Person wants something, and makes attempts for it Uninterruptedly,

he will start receiving it in the course of time.

The Determined persons, 

Dedicated Persons,

Attempting Persons,

Enthusiastic Persons, 

all will get their desired goals and things without depending on Luck.

There may be several bad impressions, 

which we have created in the past, 

but with human effort we can convert them as good Impressions.

If any one, without human efforts,

believes and leaves everything To God or to His Luck,

he is very mean person with foolishness and madness.

If there is no meaningless, Laziness in this World, 

Everyone will become a learned Person or

prove themselves as great personalities. 

If we fail in our efforts we should try again and again. 

All great people of this world crossed , 

all different dangerous  stumbling blocks to reach their desired goals, 

with Human efforts. Not with dependence of Luck.

If we restrain our Mind from going in Wrong Path, 

then it will go in right direction with renewed vigor and with Multifold Speed.

Stubbornness and rigidness are foolish useless things.

 – Sri Ramana Maharshi.

Destroy the Distressed One. 

Then Who will be there to Experience that Distress.

When You Experience that Universal “ONE”ness ,

who will be left behind to Love or Hate.

This world and its Problems are not real. 

By searching for Atma, You get relieved from This World and its Problems.

The Illusionary Imagination of identifying oneself with Body

is the root cause of All these Problems. 

Removing this Imagination is Knowledge. 

First Identify Yourself with Atma. 

Then You will know whole Universe as Atma. 

This Whole Universe is nothing but Just a Form of this  Atma.

If You get this self-realization , you will see the whole world as Atma.

God is someone related to our Beliefs and Faiths.

We don’t know whether God is there or Not. 

And also he is External to Us. 

But Atma always remains with You. 

That Atma is You. 

We are in search of Distant External things by leaving things which are Nearer to Us. 

Your roots are within You. 

Find out the roots of you, Identify Your True Self.  

When you identify Yourself,

You can understand who is God. 

In Reality God is not different from Your “True Self “.
