  • The Miracle of Self Realization: Why God, Guru and the Self Are One and the Same?
    WORKING PAPER NO: 434 The Miracle of Self Realization: Why God, Guru and the Self are One and the Same? Ramnath Narayanaswamy Professor Economics & Social Science Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore – 5600 76 Ph: 080-26993137 [email protected] Year of Publication -November 2013 The Miracle of Self Realization: Why God, Guru and the Self are One and the Same? Abstract This contribution is rooted in Indian spirituality, more specifically in the tradition of Advaita Vedanta or the philosophy of non-dualism. In this paper, an attempt is made to outline the biggest miracle of all, namely, the miracle of self realization. In Indian spirituality, it constitutes the very purpose of our birth as human beings. This purpose lies in self revelation and if this is not successfully pursued then the current life is said to have been wasted from a spiritual point of view. We discuss three concepts that are central to Indian spirituality. These include, God, Guru and the Self. Our purpose is to demonstrate that all three terms designate one Reality. We anchor ourselves on the pronouncements of Sri Ramana Maharishi, who was one of the greatest sages of India, who left his mortal coil in the last century. For this purpose, we have selected some excerpts from one of the most celebrated works in Ramana literature known as Talks which was put together by Sri Mungala Venkatramiah and subsequently published by Sri Ramanasramam in Tiruvannamalai. It is a veritable Bible for Ramana devotees and widely regarded as such. The central challenge in all management is realizing the nature of oneself.

  • Shree A. Ramakrishna - Exemplary Instrument of God
    Shree A. Ramakrishna - Exemplary Instrument of God 20th August 2013 Dear Brothers and Sisters, Om Sri Sai Ram. It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news of the passing away of our beloved brother and good friend Shree A. Ramakrishna (endearingly called AR) who reached the divine lotus feet of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on 20th August 2013, after a massive heart attack while he was in Hyderabad, India. He was an exemplary devotee and served Bhagawan in many capacities. He contributed significantly in the divine mission as director of Sri Sathya Sai World Foundation. He is survived by his wife Smt. Suryakumari and by their three sons and five grandchildren. I humbly request your prayers for the family in this time of loss. AR obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Andhra University; a Master’s of Science in Structural Engineering from the College of Engineering, Guindy, Chennai; and two honorary doctorates. The first honorary degree, in Science, was from Andhra University in 1997; and the second, in Philosophy, was from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in 2004. Dr. A. Ramakrishna began his career in 1962 with the ECC Construction Division of Larsen & Toubro (L&T). Four years into his tenure with that company—which lasted his entire life—the Government of India sponsored him for practical training in Structural Engineering in Germany. His considerable skills and flexible intellect played no small part in the phenomenal expansion of the company. His aptitude for meeting extraordinary challenges with confidence and optimism and his skill at creative problem-solving were great contributors to the success of the many projects which the company undertook.

Yoga is twinned with sāṃkhya as one of the six orthodox darshanas (worldviews) of Hindu philosophy, with Patañjali’s Yogaśāstra having been codified by around the fifth century of the Common Era. A distinct body of texts known as the haṭhayoga corpus appears around the 11th century and emphasizes physical practices most likely used by ascetic communities. The ultimate aim of yoga is described by various words (e.g., kaivalya, samādhi, mokṣa, etc.); it is often described as an experience of an individual soul’s uniting with the divine, and/or becoming liberated from the material world.

Thus, features and key terms such as: authority of the Veda, Dharma, moksha, samsāra and karma, the paths to liberation, concept of God, Brahman-ātman, avidyā and māyā and AUM are sketchily presented in the first part of Rev.

Resolution: For the Christian it is a divine act at infinite cost to God; for the Hindu it is human effort, sometimes mixed with grace, without cost to the god. In the second part it is presented the debated problem of Gurus and their movements and Neo-Hindu movements sprung at the second half of 20th century, such as Satya Sai Baba, International Society for Krishna Consciousness and meditation for “transcendental consciousness” (TM).
