Sri Ramana Maharshi - JNANI 

I climbed up the mountain 45 minutes daily to his private residence where he sat in silence for years daily while there with a bottle of water and peanuts. Meditated with the monkeys and peacocks. Highly charged environment.

"Look, there is a Creator. He will take care of his creations". Such a relieve to hear it!

Tears flow for no reason whenever I see Bhagavan !!!!

After 21 years with Ramana's teachings, this movie still blew me away! A well-done, thorough, and accurate documentary regarding the life and teachings of one of the greatest manifestations of Ultimate Reality in human history. Namaste to all.

I've been watching RU-vid videos nearly everyday for 17 years. This video is the most educational and at the top of all documentaries I've ever watched. It reveals the fixed point that we keep ourselves away from our entire lives. Thank for you sharing this with all of us. I will watch this on repeat for now on.

I first saw Bhagavan in a photo in a book. I was only 13. I opened it and read that all people desire happiness and my soul said, “Yes!” Bhagavan is the sweetest, purest, gentlest, truest truth teller I know. Excuse my clumsy words; language can’t convey the bliss I feel/am seeing this video, and the truth it contains. May all beings have peace 🙏🌹❤️

This video having a million views makes me very happy

"The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress." - Sri Ramana Maharshi - From Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi - Talk 427.

I am so stunned to find this film show up on YT just now on my morning “check in” with coffee. My dear friend and psychic Michael Hillary Hughes was a devotee of Ramana Maharishi and quoted him often. Michael passed away many years ago and at 75 I would imagine I will see him in the next few years unless he’s jumped back in the game already. Ships that pass in the night. Love and blessings to all here.

"Bhagavan is coming!" Small children continue playing happily. Cows, crows, squirrels show up for darshan. All is well. ❤️

This documentary found me. Few days ago I heard "JNANI" during a meditation, I didn't bother looking it up. Then, this documentary came up in suggestions. In fact this comes the more I'm into the multiple realizations that truly everything is maya, mental projection of the eternal Self. The real peacefulness comes from the void - where paradoxically we realize the fullness of Being. Within this void everything becomes clear and peaceful - where nothing happens and all those phenomena that happen are realized being projections of one of the layers of Self.

I have been watching this nonstop since May 25 2021

This whole movie is like a satsang to me. I watch it almost every day now. My mind gets calmer and peaceful. I love you, Bhagavan!

David Goodman's commentary was truly exceptional.

This has to be the most important video to have been uploaded in RU-vid. A must for all of humanity to watch and ponder upon.

from what i learned from many authentic books (Siddha Vedam, Vipassana, WHO am i, Iam That etc) and research into what is really 'getting aligned in true lineage path', ramana has no compromises !! he doesnt not value experience of light, subtle nadis, astral travel, oval shaped big sphere around body, foretelling, having power over substances, alchemy, kundalini rise etc. ramana's teaching is direct path, a national high way to Self only to Self as complete Queiscence, impersonal Consciousness, impersonal presence rather than Self as states of consciousness, experience of crores of light power, sahasrara, lalitha tripoora sundhari in tanthric syllabus etc which may be the high altitude point of mind, uyir or subtlest conscious-energy (shakthi aspect) but still *not beyond the mind*. he doesnt see them or rank them as *spiritual progress* !! ramana's way is beyond mind (conscious-energy). ramana's way is pure shivam ( 'pure Consciousness' ie the underlying truth of all possbl states of consciousness). according to him effortless shanthi, grounded silence is the begining and imperturbable, rippleless, deepest Shanthi, when not even an iota of 'i' exists is the ultimate. ramana and other true jnanis doesnt allow shivam( 'pure Consciousness' ) in them to get converted into shakthi (mind or 'reflected consciousness' or say 'conscious-energy' ) from where appearance of biological body ('gross unconscious energy') emerge. only when someone comes to him, out of misery and if he puts a question to relieve himself , ramana allows the progression in him from 'pure Consciousness' to 'reflected consciousness' and finaly to 'gross unconscious energy'. this is why devotees of ramana who met him say that when they ask a question , ramana stares at them which seemed effortless, for long time and after 10min or sometimes even half an hour he comes to his body level and answers the question. Shivam = 'pure Consciousness', beyond high and low or say fundamantal of high low = Self, Atman, Shanthi, Wisdom. Shakthi or Vishnu = 'reflected consciousness', Intelligence, several states of consciousness from low to high = mind, Uyir, Prana Brahma = 'gross unconscious energy' = biology, deham. they are not gods or persons. they are concepts to explain the progression of life from Consciousness to biology in our moment to moment experience. therefore creation and destruction , back and forth happening on the screen of Consciousness. to become aware of this maya progression, the basic instruction for a disciple is to increase the "degree of concentration on a single thought" !!

My own guru! Changed my life completely! Pray to him, he listens to you! OM Sri Ramana xxx

Sweet INDIA bears the most precious gems of the 20th century: Raman Maharshi and Osho (imho)

Glad to see this have so many views. I am often shocked how very few people in my life have heard of this man and his teachings. I bought one of his books 7 years ago after becoming interested in yoga and kept it on a shelf for 3 years before opening it. I was meditating once and saw it on my bookshelf. I opened it and read reality in 40 verses. To say it changed my life would be an understatement.

Coming from a Christian background, I'm convinced that these teachings are what Christ was explaining. Even Job in the Old Testament was corrected by God in the end who told him that He was in charge and to focus on Him only.

At 4:36 shivers went down the spine of my body, what a captivating face, The very name Ramana Maharshi is so powerful and has so much of divine vibrations.

Along the sides of other gorgeous souls, he stands tall amongst the most kindred and beautiful spirits, we are all connected, infinitely.

Indeed the best. I've been watching this almost daily for more than a year I never ever get board the teachings are all here. Thank David & Ramamashram 🙏 🇨🇦

This movie is a gem ,can't stop watching it, I surrender to that which is timeless. Love you bhagavan.

Silence is the greatest happiness that a being can achieve through self enquiry

I have watched this movie with my relatives and transformed the lives of some of them THANK YOU all involved.

My effort to gain knowledge of this man led to my own enlightenment 8-9 years ago. I can only describe it as the acceptance of life as it is at this very moment and the knowledge that everything is exactly as it should be. There is no need for further questions. I still listen to this to maintain my sense of peace in my own life. I hope all can experience the peace that I have felt and know to be the true self. 🙏

Ramana opened my eyes.

I agree...this documentary is like a satsang. It is beautifully done and each time I watch it I feel calm and peaceful. Ramana Maharshi....still teaching those who come to him...then and now.

In deep appreciation for this film.

I watched this yesterday, half at home and half when i went for walking in the park. Today i woke up. And I’m going to watch it again. As much as i can, wherever i can. Sri Ramana has thought me what i have been searching for. After watching almost 10 years of spiritual stuff, he is the one who pointed me towards the majestic, respectful and great self who my body and mind are at his presence and attendance. My body and mind from now on will honour the great self/soul. Thank you Maharashi and thank you wonderful souls who have made this documentary.

Maharishi was a great sage. He preached what he experienced.

I ain't know nothing about spirituality but when I started living as "I" instead of my senses and body, life became much more relaxed and simple instead of labeling everything around me and every single thought, makes so much sense.

My eyes teared up looking at his eyes ❤️😭. Truly radiant...

Looking into the eyes of Sri Ramana brings instant bliss and whilst this is a film about his life it still holds the frequency of his energy. This is glorious, Thankyou and much love!.

🙏 from VietNam withlove. Respect ❤️🙏💙

There is a Creator He'll take care of his creation. great quote for covid days... (my favorite line )

Watching this is a transcendental experience for me. Thank you very much for the whole unit who put their hard work in making this masterpiece.

After my spontaneous Satori without meditation I meditate now for 53 years. And the Advaita, Ramanas wisdom gave me a lot of help.❤❤❤❤❤❤

I really appreciated this documentary. His story is a intriguing expression of the universe and cautionary tale that: Sometimes the thought of escape can become the cage itself.

Any words to thank will be ineffective. Pranams to swami.

David Godman and the other eminent speakers have explained Bhagawan's teachings with clarity, brilliance and humility...

First saw a vid about Ramana spring 2011. Ordered 2 books that summer. Read parts of them and would think about the stuff in them every now and then and one day October 2013 it all just hit me as I was stuck in traffic listen to Doom Metal (Electric Wizard) Just had a random thought, then asked myself "to whom are these thoughts occuring?" Obviously, the answer was "to me" and once i answered, everything just got quiet and I understood everything and just started laughing at how the "enlightenment" I'd been searching for had been there the whole time. It's just easy to overlook because we are all so used to it. It's like if we were all fish who could talk and I was trying to explain what water is to you. It's just so ubiquitous to us both that we'd overlook it. Assuming we have never jumped up into the air, we have nothing to compare water to. That enlightenment experience was the exact same feeling I'd get while dancing on LSD back in the 90s when all thoughts would go away. The way I described it back then was being "hyper aware". But this time since I had read about Vedanta I could put words to it easier. And now I'm the years since I've gotten way more into Vedanta and the Upanishads and they all make perfect sense. It still hard for me to get back to that state, intellectually, I know I and always that. But it's just hard for me to meditate. I've gotten there several times while running Tldr: it only took me 2 years from seeing a vid of Ramana to realize the self. A very casual 2 years at that

May Lord Ramana shower his grace on us who strive to follow his path🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you from Siberia!

The first thing to understand in spiritual life is 'I am not this body, I am spirit soul. Aham Brahmasmi, I am spirit. Haribol. Thank you for this knowledge of the self.

Funny, the video has been going on my headphones while I was asleep. When it finished I was awakened by a great sense of clarity, simple feeling of a self reminding me of my childhood. Seems like listening to it in the sleep is the way to get it ;)

When U G Krishnamurthy asked Ramana, " I want to have what you have" - Ramana said -- "I can give you, but can you receive it " --- this is by far the best explanation from Ramana Maharishi about enlightenment. -- the beauty of this conversation is --- What Ramana had to offer was silence --- but nobody can receive silence because they can recognise sound but not silence.

Thank you. This video came to me at the right time.

Thank you, so inspiring! Beautiful photos of Sri Ramana, he will be for ever in us.

Thank you. Honoring the true silence. Beautiful.

Incredible lesson, why this is not taught in school/college is beyond me, the world would be a better place. Om shanti 🙏

its made to perfection... right to the point !!!

Feeling low during Pandemic and losing hope due to bad news . So I turned to Ramana maharshi for restoration of self

Loved it Aum Arunachala Siva Aum Namo Bhagavathe Shri Ramanayah Namo Namah Aum Dheeraaya Namah 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Beautiful. I sobbed with heart opening gratitude. I knew very little of Sri Ramana Maharshi before experiencing this film. He is a saint. Thank you. ❤

One of the best documentary about Ramana Maharishi.thank you.

Nothing short of magnificent! Thank you!

Merci infiniment pour ce bonheur d'être replacé au juste lieu de notre expérience humaine. Ce 'Soi' qui offre la Joie, la Gratitude, l'Amour sans condition, sans distinction... je vous remercie du fond du coeur pour ce cadeau, que encore, et encore je regarderai pour faire entrer au plus profond de mon Être le regard de la Conscience Universelle de Sri Ramana Maharshi.. La paix et l'abondance 'Soi' réalité pour vous. L'Amour en vous

My favourite film ever. It is a fitting tribute also to Mr Alan Jacobs who co-wrote the film and who features at the end of the film, silently writing among the Banyan trees. Thanks to everyone involved in the film’s creation and production. 🙏🙏🙏

His teaching has been meditatively captured in this documentary. Sincere thanks for this great effort.

I waited for this documentary for a long time. Thank you for this documentary.

Maharishi goes much deeper into the understanding of the self than anything else I have read. Usually most spiritual teachings lead you to an understanding that your true essence is awareness prior to identification with form, the realising of the false self, the ego and finding solace and peace in the knowledge that all your suffering is illusory. Like The Four Noble Truths in Buddhism which explain the suffering in life and how to approach extinguishing the flame of suffering through wisdom and meditation. But incredibly Maharishi goes so much deeper into the realisation of self. Actually it makes me feel quite uncomfortable but there is a certain resonance of truth in what he points to. He truly was a remarkable man and in this age of deceit with so many false gurus out there profiteering on the resurgence in eastern spirituality his message remains as relevant as ever.

I am always anxious to read Ramana Maharshi scriptures teachings most of the time maharishi said be in silence. I had opportunity to attend his meditation class on USA. I bow down to his simplicity and the compassion and love for every living being.. shree guru sharnam 🙏🌹🙏

Extremely grateful for this.

What a beautiful video on the life and teachings of Ramana Maharishee, i am so grateful

This is a Masterpiece! i watch it all the time along with all of David Godman's other video's, it puts me in such a high thoughtless space. Magnificent!

The first time I seen this great soul is on here, never heard of him before.. We shouldn't create more temples or religions or worship his form but do as he Said, inquire WITHIN

Thank you for making and publishing this wonderful video on Sri Ramana Maharishi

Thank you so much for the film. This was really needed! Much appreciated.

Wondrous hour in immersive process of enlightenment ..uplifting, enthralling and sobering , lightens and sets the soul to soar ..a sincere thanks to all the contributions of all his devotees and relatives ..
