POONJA
Maya
This compilation,
entitled Maya, was derived from Papaji's public
talks, Satsangs, given on November 24, 1992 and
August 20, 1993.
According to Papaji, maya is "all that is and all
that is not... the complete illusion in
imagination." And with total, absolute, 100%
watchfulness it is possible to see maya for what it
truly is. With this awareness, with this attention
to the experiencer without reliance on any
practice, any method, or to any past or future
achievements, you will discover in this
split-second, who you really are. The secret of
true happiness is revealed in this knowledge.
"To cross this ocean of suffering called samsara...
you must have a raft... Satsang is this raft. Once
you are on this raft, you need do nothing and
nothing can bother you." The secret of Satsang is
revealed in this split-second. All desires are
fulfilled - not abandoned - but fulfilled. Nothing
more is desired. You have it all."
At one point on
this video, Papaji speaks of meeting a young,
Kasmiri yogi who had many powers and could manifest
anything; he could levitate, bilocate, even get the
gods to do his bidding. This boy even got Papaji a
fish and rice dinner from Varanasi! Papaji,
umimpressed with his magic tricks, remarks, "But to
what purpose? Even a crow can fly off the ground...
and when you are dead, all the bodies, even the
many bilocated copies of this body, will die... to
what advantage are these special powers? Are you
happy? Are you at peace?" This yogi, after
experiencing the "no mind" in the split-second out
of time, vows to serve Papaji till his dying breath
[a promise his former teacher asked him to make
to the Master who imparts on him the Supreme
knowledge - the knowledge of the Self].

POONJA
Call
Off The Search
Freedom Here and Now
Film by Jim Lenkin and David Godman
Poonjaji, a
disciple of Ramana Maharshi, realised the Self in
the presence of his Master in the 1940's. Since his
realisation, he has been communicating his
experience to those who come to see him. This film
is about freedom and enlightenment. Not freedom at
some future date but, NOW. Harilal Poonja, also
known as Papaji, is not going to tell you how to
get it, he is going to tell you who and what you
really are. And if you listen to him with a silent
mind, you will discover: You are Freedom
Itself.
This DVD captures beautifully Poonjaji as he
discusses the nature of enlightenment and the
impediments which seem to obscure it. His message
is clear: "We
already are that for which we are
seeking."
"Perfect
awakening is possible here and now for very human
being, regardless of background, practice or
personal circumstances. You are already free!
Anything gained afresh will be lost. What is
eternal is always within you, as your own Self. The
Self will reveal itself to itself in the twinkling
of any eye once you abandon all hope and desire,
the age-old disease of the mind. Keep quiet. Don't
allow a single thought to stir. be effortless and
in an instant you will discover that you have
always been free."

MAHARSHI
The

As a new
century dawns and we reflect on the teachers and
teachings that most influenced the last hundred
years, Sri Ramana Maharshi stands out as one of the
greatest seers of our time. Nearly fifty years
after he shed his mortal frame, ever more seekers
the world over are earnestly turning to the
Maharshi and his teachings.
From 1935 to 1950, a number of visitors to Sri
Ramanasramam shot films of the Maharshi and his
environs. Taken mostly by his devotees, these films
give us a remarkable opportunity to view a
fully-enlightened sage who, in the 20th century,
lived liked an ancient rishi of yore.
In 1990, the complete collection of archival films
were brought to the U.S.A. for restoration,
preservation and editing. Two of these films were
professionally produced as newsreels with a
soundtrack by the Indian Information Bureau and
shown throughout India in cinema houses.
This 65 minute DVD is a visual documentary of a man
made perfect by virtue of a unique destiny.
Spiritual freedom, eternal peace and joy can be
realised by those devoted seekers whose destinies
are linked to the Sage of Arunachala, Sri Ramana
Maharshi.
Silent,
except for two newsreel soundtracks.

ANANDAMAYI
MA
How She Reveals
Herself
Anandamayi Ma
lived from 1896 to 1982 in India. From her very
birth she was conscious of what she had ever been
and would always continue to be. She was reputed
for her irresistible attraction of her ever
radiant, blissful personality, for her boundless
compassion and her outstanding universality. The
central theme of her teaching in endless variations
was, "The
supreme calling of every human being is to aspire
to Self realisation. All other obligations are
secondary."
This short DVD contains very few words and mostly
footage and photographs of Ma - her darshan, her
singing and sankirtan. The film contains younger
sequences of her as well as those of her later
years. These filmed images convey a very profound
impression of Ma's blissful being and the intensity
of her wonderful unique nature.

VIJAYANANDA
A
path of wisdom
A film by
Olivier and Luc Maréchaux
This film reveals the depth of an interior path
pursued by a man for more than fifty years with
total commitment. A doctor in France, he left
everything to go to India to look for a spiritual
leader that in the end he found in Ma
Anandamayi.
At 92, he has retained the humour and humility of
the one who continues his path in all serenity. The
word of the man, Vijayananda, has particular impact
on Westerners because it is one of them who speaks
about the long journey into the heart of the mystic
tradition of india.
Three important personalities that have met
Vijayananda in different periods of his life give
their testimony : Arnaud Desjardins, Jacques Vignes
and Shri Mahesh, director of the Center for
franco-indian cultural relations.
