THE FIRE OF FREEDOM - VOLUME 1
      Satsang with Papaji - Edited by David Godman

"If someone tells you something, don't accept it because no teaching has so far touched the truth. This much I will tell you. No one ever spoke the truth. No word has ever been coined to present it."

"You have to wake up yourself; you have to see for yourself. The senses are not needed, nor are the eyes. The eyes cannot see it; the mind cannot understand it; the intellect cannot grasp it. None of these will accompany you. You have to be alone without these things. You have to proceed alone. None of the five elements will accompany you. You will go alone to meet this situation, but what it is, no one knows. "

Sri H.W.L. Poonja [1913-1997], known in his later years by the affectionate title 'Papaji', has been one of the most influential spiritual figures of modern times. A disciple of the great South Indian Guru Sri Ramana Maharshi, Papaji brought the teachings of his own Master to new generations of seekers in the decades that followed Sri Ramana's passing away in 1950.
After an incident-packed and peripatetic life that took him all over the world, Papaji finally settled down in Lucknow, North India, where he gave daily satsangs throughout the 1990's. His teaching, succinctly and trenchantly expressed in this completely new collection of teaching dialogues between Papaji and visitors who came to see him in Lucknow in the middle of 1991. At that time only about fifteen people would come each day, and all the satsangs were held in the living room of Papaji's house.
In these conversations Papaji explains the practical teachings of his Master, Ramana Maharshi, in a simple and forceful way. As he engages his visitors in discussions about the nature of spiritual freedom and the means by which it can be discovered, he is always looking for an opportunity to take his questioners back to the source of their minds so that they can find out for themselves, by direct experience, what he is trying to show them.

PAPAJI: INTERVIEWS
      Edited by David Godman

Papaji: Interviews contains diverse interviews that foreign devotees and journalists had with Papaji between 1990 and 1993. All of them give an excellent introduction to Papaji's teachings. The book also contains a fifty-page biography of Papaji, contributed by the editor, which focuses on Papaji's early life and his relationship with Ramana Maharshi.

Question:
Is there not something a person can do in the way of spiritual practice in order to prepare himself or herself?
Papaji: This is postponement, no? Postponement. One who says, "I have to prepare myself" is deceiving himself, fooling himself. Whatever can be done tomorrow can also be done today.

ANANDAMAYI MA
        MATRI DARSHAN
       A photo-album about Shri Anandamayi Ma

"Once Paramahansa Yogananda asked Ma to tell him something of Her life.
Ma: Father, there is little to tell. My consciousness has never associated itself with this temporary body. Before I came on this earth, Father, 'I was the same'. I grew into womanhood, but still 'I was the same'. When the family in which I had been born made arrangements to have this body married, 'I was the same'. And, Father, in front of you now, 'I am the same'. Even afterwards, though the dance of creation changes around me in the hall of eternity, 'I shall be the same'. "

The central Theme of Ma Anandamayi's teaching, in endless variations, is :
"The Supreme calling of every human being is to aspire to Self-Realisation." Ma Anandamayi's life was centered on God, and this centeredness is felt through her words and portraits.
This beautiful book contains over 70 photographs [in black & white and in colour] of Ma throughout her life. Each photograph includes quotes of her teachings in English, German and French.

ANANDAMAYI MA
        DEATH MUST DIE - THE DIARIES OF ATMANANDA
       A Western Woman's Life-Long Spiritual Quest in India and Its Fulfillment Through Her Guru
       Edited with Introduction, Commentary and Final Chapter by Ram Alexander

This book gives an intimate first-hand account of a courageous woman's spiritual quest in close association with several of India's greatest modern saints. Although written in a diary format, her story reads almost like a novel, beginning with her youthful involvement with Theosophy in the Vienna of the 1920s. In the 1940s she goes to Benares to teach at a school founded by J. Krishnamurti, a close associate. Here we encounter several of her friends and fellow travellers, in particular the English poet and mystic Lewis Thompson who exerted a profound influence on her. Drawn deeper into the heart of Indian spirituality, she encounters Ramana Maharshi at his ashram in South India and in 1945 she ultimately comes into contact with her guru - the great Bengali mystic, Anandamayi Ma, with whom she embarks on the great spiritual adventure of her life as told here-in, culminating in sannyasa, the ultimate renunciation. We are given an in-depth picture of her intense relationship with the extraordinary women. This book is a rare record of a remarkable spiritual odyssey. There are also photos of Ananadamayi Ma, as well of photos of Atmananda, Lewis Thompson , J. Krishnamurti and Ramana Maharshi.

ANANDAMAYI MA
        LIFE AND TEACHING OF SRI ANANDAMAYI MA
       By Dr. Alexander Lipski

Dr. Lipski spent time with Anandamayi Ma and is well acquainted with her life and teaching. This book is both an introduction and a deepening into who she was.

"Anandamayi Ma's joy is an overflowing, irrepressible joy that expresses itself in gaiety, that knows no obstacles, because it is deeply rooted in the Absolute, beyond the duality's of good and evil, of I and not-I, of pleasant and unpleasant, because its unshakable base is Love and Wisdom."

RAMANA MAHARSHI                               CLICK HERE TO READ EXCERPT
        GURU VACHAKA KOVAI
       By Muruganar - Translated by Dr T. V. Venkatasubramanian, Robert Butler and David Godman
       Edited and annotated by David Godman

"That which is worth taking up is the Self-inquiry that reveals the knowledge of the Self; that which is worth enjoying is the grandeur of the Self; that which is worth renouncing is the ego-mind; that in which it is worth taking refuge, to eliminate sorrow completely, is one's own source, the Heart.
That which should be attained is true knowledge of the Self; that which the mind should meditate upon is the feet of God; that on which one should firmly depend is satsang; that which should well up in the Heart is peace."

Guru Vachaka Kovai [The Garland of Guru's Sayings] is the most authoritative collection of Ramana Maharshi's spoken teachings. The first Tamil edition of the book, published in 1939, was personally checked and revised by Ramana Maharshi himself. 
The 1,254 verses in this book, recorded by Muruganar in the last decades of Ramana Maharshi's life, cover the full spectrum of his teachings. This new translation of the entire work includes previously unpublished explanatory notes by Muruganar and supplementary teaching material by Sri Ramana that illustrates or expands on the words of the original text.

RAMANA MAHARSHI
        PADAMALAI
       Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi - Recorded in Tamil verse by Muruganar
       Edited and translated by David Godman, T. V. Venkatasubramanian and Robert Butler.

"What is always natural to everyone is liberation, which is bliss. Bondage is delusion of mind, a false sensation. The ego alone is bondage, and one's own true nature, free of the contagion of the ego, is liberation. There is no greater deception than believing that liberation, which is ever present as one's own nature, will be attained at some later stage. Even the desire for liberation is the work of delusion. Therefore, remain still."

Padamalai contains well over a thousand teaching statements made by Sri Ramana Maharshi, none of which has appeared in English before. They were recorded in two-line Tamil verses by Muruganar, one of Sri Ramana’s foremost devotees. It was at Muruganar’s behest that Sri Ramana composed both Ulladu Narpadu andUpadesa Undiyar, two of his principal philosophical works. Muruganar himself composed Guru Vachaka Kovai, an extensive and authoritative compilation of Sri Ramana’s sayings that was personally checked and revised by Sri Ramana himself.
The original Tamil poem from which these statements have been taken had no structure at all. It was simply 3,059 random verses. Some of them praised Sri Ramana, some of them expressed Muruganar’s gratitude to Sri Ramana for granting him liberation, but the majority contained renderings of his teachings. 
The editors and translators have arranged these verses thematically, organising them into topics such as ‘Self-enquiry’, ‘The Guru and the Jnani’, ‘The Self’, and so on. To supplement the text and to provide a commentary on it the editors have added many other quotations by Bhagavan.

RAMANA MAHARSHI
        THE MIND OF RAMANA MAHARSHI AND THE PATH OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE
        By Arthur Osborne - Foreword by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan

Sri Ramana Maharshi was born in 1879. In his seventeenth year he attained enlightenment through a remarkable experience as if undergoing death of the physical body while remaining in full consciousness. Following this transformation, he left his home and was drawn irresistibly to the sacred hill of Arunachala. He never left it. In the ashram which was formed around him he taught the purest form of Advaita Vedanta [non-duality] through supremely simple discipline of Self-inquiry. This book gives a detailed account of the life and teachings of this extraordinary Sage who belonged to the true line of India's spiritual teachers.

"He who turns inward with untroubled mind to search where the consciousness of 'I' arises realises the Self and rests in Thee, Oh Arunachala! as a river when it merges in the Ocean. Abandoning the outer world, with mind and breath controlled, in order to meditate on Thee within, the Yogi sees Thy Light, Oh Arunachala! and finds his delight in Thee."

RAMANA MAHARSHI                              3 VOLUMES
        THE POWER OF THE PRESENCE - PART 1
        Transforming encounters with Sri Ramana Maharshi
        Edited by David Godman

What was it like to live with and be guided by Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of the greatest sages that India has ever produced? In Part One of this new anthology eight devotees narrate their personal stories that chronicle in detail how Bhagavan's power and grace had transformed their lives. The devotees are Rangan, Sivaprakasam Pillai, Akhilandamma, Sadhu Natanananda, N. R. Krishnamurti Aiyer, Chalam, Souris and Swami Madhavatirha. Most of these accounts have never before appeared in English. This book shows the many different relationships Bhagavan had with devotees who had widely differing backgrounds and who in many cases surrendered their lives to him.

"Going through these accounts again, some of which I have not read for more than tens years, I can only marvel at the awesome, effortless power that flowed from Bhagavan and transformed the lives and hearts of those who were pulled into his orbit. When I first came across some of these stories, I felt as if I had discovered buried treasure. Now, many years later, I feel that the time is now right to put this treasure into the public domain so that everyone who feels drawn to Sri Bhagavan can have a share in it."

RAMANA MAHARSHI
        TALKS WITH SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI

Sri Ramana's teachings were not given in general. In fact, the sage had no use for lectures or discourses. His words were primarily addressed to the particular aspirant who felt some difficulty in his spiritual path and sought to have it resolved. But as the same difficulties arise in the quest after the Self, and as the method of resolving them is the same, the Maharshi's responses to questions have the quality of universality. In order to abide as the Self, in our eternal true nature, Ramana Maharshi advised Self-inquiry. In Self-inquiry, the question, "Who am I ?" is the key to real happiness.

Questioner: What is the way to see God?

Maharshi: Where to see God? First, can you see yourself? If you can see yourself you can see God. Can anyone see his own eyes? Because they cannot be seen, can one say, "I have no eyes?" Just like this, though seeing is always there, we cannot see God. To give up the thought that we are alien to God is to see God. The first and foremost wonder in this world is the thought, "I am different from God." There is no greater wonder than this.

After going through difficult personal circumstances, Suri Nagamma became an ashramite [permanent member of Sri Ramana Maharshi's ashram] and renounced everything. She spent days at the feet of her master, until she felt the urge to record his conversations with devotees.

SRI RAMANA DARSANAM
        LETTERS FROM SRI RAMANASRAMAM
        By Sadhu Natanananda
        Translated by Dr. Venkatasubramanian - Edited by David Godman

"When the glittering sun appears, no stars are seen. Similarly, when my godliness arose, no thought appeared."

Sadhu Natanananda was a distinguished Tamil scholar and devotee who first met Bhagavan in Skandashram. His collection of dialogues with Bhagavan - Upadesa Manjari in Tamil and Spiritual Instructions in English - has appeared in several editions of Bhagavan's own Collected Works. Sadhu Natanananda also edited Vichara Sangraham [Self-Inquiry] in both the essays and question-and-answer formats. Bhagavan also gave him the job of arranging the verses of Guru Vachaka Kovai, Muruganar's authoritative compendium of Bhagavan's teachings.
This work, Sri Ramana Darsanam, is a penetrating analysis of Bhagavan's life and teachings, illustrated by many quotations and stories that have never appeared in English before. Also included are two long poems that Natanananda wrote in the 1950s which explain key points of Bhagavan's teaching and give intimate details of Natanananda's own inner experiences.

ANNAMALAI SWAMI
        FINAL TALKS
        Edited by David Godman

Annamalai Swami came to Ramana Maharshi in 1928 and spent nearly all of the following ten years serving him, initially as his attendant, and subsequently as the supervisor of all the building projects that Sri Ramanasramam undertook during this period.
In 1995, the year that Annamalai Swami passed away at the age of eighty-nine, audio recordings were made of the dialogues that he held with those coming to him for spiritual instructions between March and October. This small, powerful book is therefore an edited record of what turned out to be the last six months of Annamalai Swami's teaching career. His teachings were uncompromising, straightforward, and rarely deviated from a solid core of advice that he himself had been given by his own Guru. However, they were delivered with a force and a gentle humour that was irresistibly attractive.

SRI LAKSHMANA SWAMY AND MATHRU SRI SARADA
        NO MIND - I AM THE SELF
        The Lives and Teachings of Lakshmana Swamy and Mathru Sri Sarada
        By David Godman

Sri Lakshmana Swamy is a direct disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi, the great sage and Guru who taught at Arunachala from 1900-1950. After several years of intense meditation Sri Lakshmana realised the Self in Sri Ramana's presence in 1949. Ever since then he has been living a reclusive life, mostly in the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lakshmana has a small ashram there and he teaches his disciples primarily through the medium of 'spiritual silence', the method made famous by Sri Ramana Maharshi.
Mathru Sri Sarada is his adopted daughter and appointed successor. She came to him while she was still in her teens, completely surrendered to him and realised the Self in Lakshmana Swamy's presence in 1978. She is now teaching her own devotees at Sri Lakshmana's ashram.
No Mind - I am the Self contains fascinating details from both their lives, along with teaching instructions that were given out to devotees in the early 1980s.

U.G. KRISHNAMURTI
        THE COURAGE TO STAND ALONE
        Conversations with the Man Called U.G.

"You never question the solutions. If you really question the solutions you will have to question the ones who have offered you those solutions. But sentimentality stands in the way of your rejecting not only the solutions, but those who have offered you the solutions. Questioning that requires a tremendous courage on your part. You can have the courage to climb the mountain, swim the lakes, go on a raft to the other side of the Atlantic or Pacific. That any fool can do, but the courage to be on your own, to stand on your two solid feet, is something which cannot be given by somebody. You cannot free yourself of that burden by trying to develop that courage. If you are freed from the entire burden of the entire past of mankind, then what is left there is the courage."

U.G. Krishnamurti was born in South India in 1918. At an early age, an insatiable hunger overtook him to find out whether there was anything behind what the sacred books and spiritual men described. His search finally ended on his 49th birthday when he discovered his natural state.
His shattering conversations overturn all accepted beliefs - God, mind, soul, enlightenment, religion, humanity, heart, love, relationships - and give a totally different picture of who we are. He doesn't offer hope, love, peace or spiritual salvation. On the contrary, his words are rather deflating. He discourages people from coming to see him and most often politely turns them away. This is U.G.'s first book and contains conversations which took place with U.G. in Amsterdam during 1982.

        NO WAY OUT
        Conversations with U.G. Krishnamurti
        Foreword by Mahesh Bhatt

"There is nothing to understand. How that understanding dawned on me, I really don't know. The understanding that this instrument [the intellect] is really not the instrument to understand anything is something that cannot be communicated. This instrument is only interested in perpetuating itself through what it calls 'understanding', which in reality are its own machinations. It is only sharpening itself to maintain its own continuity. When once you know that it is the instrument and that there is no other instrument, then there is nothing more to understand."

NEEM KAROLI BABA
        MIRACLE OF LOVE
        Stories about the Indian sage, Neem Karoli Baba - Compiled by Ram Dass

"In 1967 I met Neem Karoli Baba, a meeting which changed the course of my life, for through him I came to perceive my life in spiritual terms. In the depth of his compassion, wisdom, humour, power and love I found human possibility never before imagined... an extraordinary integration of spirit and form. I was with him only briefly for he left his body in 1973. Still he entered my heart as living truth, and his presence continues to enrich and guide my life."

"Remember to listen to the silence into which the stories are set, for the true meeting with Maharaji lies between the lines and behind the words. For this effort, you will be amply rewarded through meeting a being of a spiritual stature rarely known on this earth."
                                                                          - Ram Dass
"There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His western devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as 'Maharaji' - a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was 'nobody'.
He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a slap on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke. Orders for running the ashram were given, usually in a piercing yell across the compound. Sometimes he sat in silence, absorbed in another world to which we could not follow, but bliss and peace poured down on us. Who he was was no more than the experience of him, the nectar of his presence, the totality of his absence - enveloping us now like his plaid blanket."

WILLIAM SAMUEL                                                               CLICK HERE TO READ AN EXCERPT
        A GUIDE TO AWARENESS AND TRANQUILITY

"The world is not as it appears to the busy, troubled mortal. A beautiful and magnificent harmony is spread over the entire face of the land; perfection permeates everything. This perfect Harmony is readily discernible and immediately available to anyone willing to acknowledge its presence and pay the small price demanded of it.
What is the price? Surrender of the personality! Only the personality, the prideful, intellectual ego, denies the totality of Reality and the presence of a perfect experience."

This book is composed of short articles, dialogues and letters by the late mystic William Samuel [1924-1996]. It conveys the direct experience of being in the presence, Transcendent Awareness, and will open the reader's heart to Tranquillity, an unfluctuating, unchanging, permanent sense of well-being that transcends every human concept. Written with humour and extraordinary insight, Samuel gives readers interested in spiritual life a practical way to discover Truth for themselves. His words, gentle and plainspoken, impart the same wisdom that for centuries readers have found in the words of the great enlightened ones.
