My spiritual journey found its shore when I discovered the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Here it was — the complete, direct answer to man’s eternal search for peace and happiness. This is my attempt to get his teachings (and that of other advaita gurus) to you in the way I understand them. I often use stories (and Zen koans) to illustrate a point; you'll also find references to Hindu, Zen and Buddhist spiritual treatises.

the monkey mind will keep doing what it does, how do we gain peace of mind then?
years and years of conditioning makes it hard not to give in to the incessant, unending string of thoughts. But one has to keep on trying. Be at it. Here's how to 'try'.
Guha, the forest king, narrates the story of his obsession with kicking Shiva's statue. This is a wonderful lesson on the power of constant, obstinate seeking.
Ramayana is by far my favorite story of all time and a story that has touched me like no other. Lord Rama's forbearance and selflessness in spite of severe travails and suffering is impossible to emulate but an inspirati
So here's the answer you were not looking for
Zen koans are magic. We begin with one that's commonly known - the sound of one hand clapping. Let's figure this one out together.
I read from the Bhagavad Gita (the Song of God). I digress too, there is some Kipling and a seminal punk band called Television.
When you know, then you don't. Be wary of the thought that you know the truth and all the other thoughts that are birthed when this thought gets firmly set.
Who can free himself from achievement, And from fame, descend and be lost, Amid the masses of men? He will flow like Tao, unseen. ~ Chuang Tzu (The Empty ⛵)
Chuang Tzu, a Taoist monk, lived in ancient China about 2500 years ago. His teachings are funny, insightful and potent. I would like to read and comment on a few of his writings in the coming episodes starting with this
The Heart Sutra is one of the most popular Buddhist sutras. It is short, just 250 words or so, but supremely potent. Even one reading of this classic can empty your mind of all its 'wisdom' and reveal the truth in a flas
Today, I read the Faith Mind Sutra (from here - http://www.mendosa.com/way.html). Written by Seng-ts'an, Third Chinese Patriarch, this is a seminal and powerful introduction to non-duality that demystifies The Way and ma
The mind's preferences and opinions are the key reason it is difficult to turn it inward. Watch out for this pattern and you'll find yourself more at peace. I read excerpts (relevant to this mind pattern) from the Tao Te
What is true seeking? And how do you know if it's the right path that you're on?
In this episode, I talk about Sri Ramana Maharshi's seminal work on enlightenment and the spiritual quest. 'Who am I?' is a set of questions and answers that succinctly and beautifully surmise Maharshi's teachings. I rea
Persistence with practice, patience and an intense desire for awakening are the three things needed to succeed on the spiritual path. Two Zen stories illustrate why this pursuit needs much more than just reading a few go
I found another Zen story about the Moon that I'd like to share. This one is about laughter and emptiness -- it's no coincidence that many enlightened people laugh loudly and quite often.
There are striking similarities in the teachings of Zen buddhism and the advaita teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. I found a beautiful story that talks about the practice of zazen and I was immediately struck with not on
Being enlightened isn't about having a superpower, it's about being at peace always. The story of Zen master Hakuin perfectly illustrates the Buddha state of mind (the enlightened state).
