Ramana Maharshi: The Crown Jewel of Advaita (Pb)-John Grimes
| Ramana
has often been described as “an incarnation of Advaita”. The description is
an intriguing philosophical oxymoron as the thunderous truth of Advaita
boldly declares that no one has ever been born, lived, or died, and yet it
is, without doubt, an astonishingly powerful image in conveying the profound
affinity that exists between the teachings of Advaita and Ramana. As one
passes the philosophically relevant portions of Ramana’s life and teachings
through the lens of Advaita, they will be seen to be in perfect accordance
with the essence of Advaita’s philosophical teachings. What is all the more
astonishing is that Ramana’s teachings emerged spontaneously as the fruit of
his sudden Great Awakening and only subsequently, almost by accident, did he
learn of the ancient Upanishadic and Advaitic teachings. This book is an
attempt to view, to see (have darshan) the life and teachings of Bhagavan Sri
Ramana Maharsi through the lens of the philosophical system (darshana) known
as Advaita Vedanta. Not only does the word darshan mean “being in the
presence” of a sage or deity, but it is also the nearest equivalent Sanskrit
word for “philosophy”. Darshana, from the Sanskrit root drsh meaning “to see”
implies not only vision (which includes insight, intuition, and vision of the
truth), but also the instrument of vision (such as viewpoint, world-view,
doctrine, philosophical system). |
