  • Nitya's Time with Ramana Maharshi
    This is a compilation of all the significant references in Nitya Chaitanya Yati’s English writings to his time with Ramana Maharshi, from 1948 until the Maharshi’s death in 1950, as well as his continuing inspirational influence thereafter. As many people found, Ramana Maharshi had a life-changing influence on Nitya, and he frequently made reference to it in his talks. Nitya’s age in those years ranged from 23 to 25, during the period when he was a disciple of Dr. G.H. Mees. Editorial information is in brackets. Key: BU – Brihadaranyaka Upanishad DM – Psychology of Darsanamala L&B – Love and Blessings (autobiography) MOTS – Meditations on the Self SOC – In the Stream of Consciousness TA – That Alone T&R – Therapy and Realization in the Bhagavad Gita YS – Yoga Sutras (Living the Science of Harmonious Union) For years I strongly believed in the dynamics of pedagogy, until I came under the spell of silence surrounding the person of Ramana Maharshi. (L&B 24) It was in 1948 during my summer vacation that I first went to see Ramana Maharshi. As he was Dr. Mees’ guru, I went to him with great expectations. I had read many accounts about him and considered it a rare opportunity to meet such a person. Tiruvannamalai is a hot place. One does not feel quite comfortable there. But the morning hours are very fresh and lovely. The night abruptly comes to a close. This is followed by the golden light of the sun embracing everything, which in turn is accompanied by a very beautiful chanting of the priests.

  • Nitya Chaitanya Yati, Brief
    Nitya Chaitanya Yati (1924-1999) was a philosopher, psychologist, author and poet. His writings have made him one of the world’s leading exponents of Advaita Vedanta, including how it dovetails with modern scientific discoveries. Guru Nitya is the third great teacher in the lineage of Narayana Guru. Narayana Guru was a revolutionary seer and contemplative who also fought against the caste and gender prejudices paralyzing nineteenth century India. His disciple Nataraja Guru was a brilliant philosopher who developed a structural interpretation of his guru’s mystical teachings and began the Narayana Gurukula, the wisdom school for the dissemination of Narayana Guru’s philosophy. Guru Nitya succeeded him as head of the Narayana Gurukula after a long apprenticeship. Together these three have brought a scientific understanding to bear on India’s treasury of wisdom. BIOGRAPHY Nitya was born Jayachandran Panicker, in the matriarchal compound of Vakayar, near Konni, Kerala, South India, as the first son to Vamakshi Amma and her husband, the poet Raghavan Panicker. As a youth, Nitya left home and wandered India for eight years as a mendicant, meeting and studying with Sufi, Jain and Buddhist teachers, as well as Mahatma Gandhi and Hindu masters such as Ramana Maharshi and Nityananda. After attaining his master’s degree in social psychology at Bombay University, he continued his spiritual search in earnest. Among other posts, he served as director of the Indian Foundation for Psychic Research in New Delhi in the mid-1960s, charged with investigating the claims of yogis and fakirs. In 1951 he accepted Nataraja Guru as his spiritual preceptor, and after Nataraja Guru died in 1973, he became the Guru of the Narayana Gurukula.

    NARAYANA GURU Nitya Chaitanya Yati 2005 320 pages Hard Back ISBN 81-85636-89-3 Rs 350 Narayana Guru (1854ñ1928) was a wisdom teacher of India whose life followed the ancient and immemorial programme of oriental saints and prophets. As a young man, he left home in search of truth. He lived in lonely hills, caves or forests for years, practising meditation and self-discipline. He emerged from seclusion, having solved some great riddle of life and wanting to share his solution with the world. Finding in him a clear commentary, a silent interpretation, a radiant centre of all that they were seeking, millions of people came to him as their spiritual leader. His basic stand was that of a non-dualist visionary. This made it possible for him to have an appreciation of the value elements of all traditions and to view all religions with the attitude of a devoted lover of beauty, goodness, and truth. He was the greatest synthesizer of philosophical visions, who lived in recent times. The main tendency in Indian philosophy up to the time of Narayana Guru was to precipitate a school of thought. As a result, there inevitably came a hierarchy of disciples belonging to each school who were keen in perpetuating their school. In contradistinction to this tendency, Narayana Guruís works present an overall epistemology and a unifying scheme of correlation in which all schools of thought, both Eastern and Western, can be assigned their legitimate place in the general scheme of human understanding. His writings reflect the rare combination of a bard who could sing about the aspirations of the human soul, a philanthropist whose one aim in life was to devise ways to minimize suffering, and a seer whose daily food and drink was the highest form of Truth.

    Article CASTE: A Global Journal on Social Exclusion Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 125–154 February 2020 brandeis.edu/j-caste ISSN 2639-4928 DOI: 10.26812/caste.v1i1.96 Mirrors of the Soul Performative Egalitarianisms and Genealogies of the Human in Colonial-era Travancore, 1854-1927 Vivek V. Narayan1 (Bluestone Rising Scholar 2019 Award) for Pradeepan Pampirikunnu, with gratitude and in loving memory of an all-too-brief conversation Abstract Scenes of avarna castes (slave and intermediate castes) pondering their reflections recur throughout the history of anti-caste struggle in the princely state of Travancore in colonial-era south India. These scenes represent what I will call performative egalitarianisms, which are repetitive enactments in the performance of everyday lives that embody claims to equality against the dehumanizing caste codes of colonial Travancore. In this paper, I will describe three scenes that represent distinct yet intertwined routes for the flows of egalitarian discourses in colonial Kerala. The concept of equality emerged in Travancore, first, via Enlightenment values of the British Protestant missionaries, or soulful Enlightenment; second, as non-dualistic equality of Narayana Guru, or repurposed Advaita; and third, through the discourses and practices of a Tamil religious cult called Ayya Vazhi, or radical Siddha Saiva. In viewing the flows of egalitarian discourse through the lens of performance, I demonstrate the method of intellectual histories in the repertoire which allows us to investigate how particular conceptual frameworks and discursive modes are transmitted, transformed, and embodied by people for whom these ideas are, quite literally, a matter of life and death. The intentional, productive, and empowering relationship between universals such as equality or humanity and the particular claims of anti-caste struggle in Kerala leads to a politics of practice that I describe as repurposing universals.

  • The Ocean of Philosophical Insight Hiding in the Words and Story of Jesus Christ Has Influenced and Charged Millions of People and Are Still Inspiring
    The ocean of philosophical insight hiding in the words and story of Jesus Christ has influenced and charged millions of people and are still inspiring. The teaching and philosophy discerned across the four Gospels — According to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — have stirred the philosophical perspective of Muni Narayana Prasad and it paved the way for him making a Gospel commentary in the light of Indian philosophy, Advaita Vedanta. In his scholarly attempt, the author has brought an apocryphal Gospel of Thomas too into its ambit. Though the words of wisdom revealed by Jesus across these Gospels differ in language and style from Indian Vedanta, they reveal the same wisdom or supreme happiness that the Vedanta philosophy talks about. In this book, the author has attempted to explain the wisdom found in one cultural frame of reference as found in the other. That is, the teachings of Jesus Christ are elucidated in terms of the characteristics of Advaita Vedanta. Jesus, seen across these Gospels, always maintains his position of an enlightened seer (rsi). Thus the author calls him a sad-guru. The author contends that from the Gospel accounts one may perceive, in Jesus's life and words, the same absolutist vision that underlies the teachings of Advaita Vedanta. Echoing interreligious harmony, the author invites the non-Christians to visit the great enlightened guru in Jesus and the Christians to imbibe the spirit of Advaita Vedanta in Jesus's teachings.
