Sri  Ramanageetha   (part 1):

 

Ramanageetha itself is supreme holy ganga river.this jnanaganga takes birth  in mountain king(himalaya) called srmadramana maharshi.flowing through path of speech of ganapathi poet,to step and step removing heart dirts(kama(lust) ,anger excetra,joins  sea called devotee’s heart.

Sriramanageetha:

First chapter:

Explanation of prominence of  of upasane:

1)Karthikeya incarnated in human firm, mahsrshi also doing namaskarams to that ramana,hiw teachings are  are told clearly in this text(book)

 

Upasanam-upasanam means nly one type of  meditation(jnana santhathi).”ppasanam nameordinary prathyaya pravahakaranam”(sham.bra.bhaa  4-1-7)

 

Karthikeya-six peoples krutthikadevies son-kumaraswamy

 

2+3)that day   was  year 1913A.D.december 29th day.it is known that it is winter season.all desciples were siting  around maharshi with concentration.then with intension of getting  decisional knowledge questionned  bhagavan ramana.s

 

First question

4)Which is true matter?which is that real(true)  matterwhich is untrue(false)  matter.by this matter(enquiry) only  is liberation attained?is there any  other means of for bondage destruction? 

 

Second question

5)to seeker(jijnasu,one wo has desire to know self’s real condition))is discusion of vedantha excetra scriptures means of liberation?or acording to guru’s advice performed upasana(worship)  also  is needed for liberation attainment?s

 

6) third question:

By   complete knowledge  produced  in oneself, should he know himself as sthithaprajna?or by uparathi  one has to identify(recognise)  oneself as  sthithaprajna?

 

7)fourth question:

scholars  by which features recognise jnani?

Fifth question:

7)samadhi(trance) (mind  uniting with athma thathva) only gives  self knowledge?ot it fulfils worldly  desires only??

 

Sixth question:

8)Any person desiring for worldly  desires starts yogabhyasa.  but he becomes sthithaprajna by practice.then will his  intensional desires will also be fulfiled?

9)Guru,kindness treasure,solver of all doubts bhagavan ramana maharshi  answered my  questions.

 

Answer to first question:

10)only sincirity to athma(self)  cat relieve  man from all bondages.’this is true’ ‘this is untrue’(false,myth),this viveka(ability to decide good or bad ,right and wrong) becomes means of vyragya(disinterest,dejection) scholars say.s

 

Here yogabhyasa means ‘searching for athma thathva ‘ is to be understood.

s

11)sjnani will be serious(gambhira).(he won’t express his athma knowledge)he always stands in athma as base.he does not think  this world as false or  he does not think he is different from  world.

 

Answer to second question:

12)one who has become jijnasu only by study of  scriptures  can’t reach goal.without upasana there will be no moksha  siddhi(atainment of liberation).

This is definite.(sure)

 

13)at the time of practice of athma vidya produced experience of our true form is called ‘upasana’.when that experience becomes firmly atained is called ‘jnana’.

 

14)when leaving  sense objects(vishaya)  grasped by senses when stood as knowledge  flame in one’s own  natural state that is called’ athma’s sahaja sthithi’(self’s  natural state)

 

Answer to third question:

15)not even a little related  to vasana(smell,memory,predisposition) when by silence athma sincirity becomes firm,one who becomes jnani knows himself  as ‘jnani’ doubtlessly.

 

Vasana-‘I am doer’  ’ I ‘experience  this samskara  resided in our mind since beginingless time..this samskara itself is called ‘vasana’.for samskara of athma

 This only is original cause.if this is destroyed  jiva attains mukthi(liberation).this is told clearly in viveka chudamani.(viveka chudamani stanza 268)

 

Answer to fourth question:

If equality intellect is produced in all animal classes by that we can guess our athmajnana (self knowledge)has attained siddhi .

 

Answer to fifth question:

With worldly desires if   practice of  samadhi  is practiced,that desire also will be fulfilled.it is sure(definite).

 

Answer to sixth question

17) for completion of  worldly desires also  yoga may be practiced.if he becomes sthithaprajna in middle the desire which he had desired there will be  fufilled  without any  obstruction.but by this desire siddhi  is of no use to him.no joy is produced.( because he is self satisfied and to him only athma is seen everywhere.)

 

Ithi  ramana maharshi’s desciple vasista ganapathi muni writen,brahmavidya,yogavidya informing,making to understand prominence of upasana   first chapter is completed.

Chapter second:

Three paths.

1)in chathurmaasya of 1915,bhagavan ramana maharshi,summarising all  his upadesha saara told.

 

2)hrudaya kuhara madhye kevalam brahma maathram

Hyahamaham ithi saakshaath athmarupena bhaathi|

Hrudi visha  manasaa  svam  chinvatha majjatha vaa

Pavanachalanarodhada  athmanisto bhavathvam

 

inside of ‘heart cave’ brahma  onlt is shining.it is  showing(expressing) in athma form.(self fprm).is is realised as ‘myself’ ‘myself’( I am I am).by mind searching  ‘I’

,in itself (in source of thought of’ I’) entering deeply,through pranayama you entering heart  become athmanista(athma sinciere).

 

3) this is a stanza expressing itself through bhagavan ramana maharshi,is summary of all vedanthas.one who knows this there will be know doubt.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

 

Notes:this  is only stanza  writen by  ramana maarshi.this stanza (shloka) is summary of all vedanthas.all ramanageetha is hiden in this.what is athma jnana?what is plan(technique) of geting it.all these facts are  told summarilyit has been told clearly  itself is  speciality of  this stanza.this shloka has been called ‘ramanopanishath’,’hardopanishath’  also.

 

There is no bliss (joy)  higher than knowing athma.,that is in ourself only ,tells earlier half (purvardha) of  this stanza.in later half  technique(planO of getting  athma thathva is  directed.

Chinvatha- means  to search  source ‘I am’ with concentration.

Majjatha-to drown in athmathatva pnly .later ‘pavana chalana rodha’ is understood as  ‘pranayama’ only.but to give atension  to observe breathing  by mind is openion of  few known people.

 

No discusion aboutearlier half of this stanzathe techniques told in   later half  are two or three ,there is  diference of openion  among devotees class.

 

Sri kavyakanta ganapathi shasthry to second chapter  which includes this stanza

Has given headline of  ‘margathraya kathana’ (three path story).that means this  chapter tells about three pathsis his openion.but if we observe  sixth stanza of  same chapter,

Margana-searching source of  ‘who am I’

Majjana-to  make to  drown ‘I’ in it’s source)

Pavanachalanarodha(to breathing in  mind and observation) are three diferent  are same only in principle.)

This is openion of kaavya kanta.because all these three  plans(techniques) are not opposite to each other are mutually  complementary.

 

To this stanza which has been called  ramana’s   ekashloki fourteen kinds of meaning explanation  have been given   by  book of  naharsi vidya kendra.jijnasu’s can  get meaning explanation  fro there.

 

 

 

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….s

4)our body is  produced by earth,water,thejas(light),air,and sky panchabhuthas  has been called’panchabhouthika’.in this body seen by us athma(he  himself is shariraka) existing  has been told previously(second stanza) ,stanza’s  earlier half (purvardha) by bhagavan ramana .

 

5) there onlykind of identification  of athma  has been told.’I am different ‘’eshwara is different’ this diference of ‘jiveshwara  diferentiation(bheda)Is  also refuted and direct experience of athmathathva(aparokshaanubhuthi) is decided.various techniques(logics,yukthies) have also been  rejected.

 

6)in  second  half of  same shloka(stanza) three knids of adhyathmic  thoughts  (paths)have been told for sake of desciples.but they are  principally same. 

………………………………………………………………

Notes:

1)    From ‘ahamahamithi’ part

2)from parts ‘brahma maathram’  ‘ahamaham’

3)from ‘saakshaath bhaathi’

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

7)  first path  is called ‘ maargana’(search).to second ‘majjana’(to enter in) is the name.to third  part is called‘pranarodha’ pranayama.(to observe  breath keeping mind)

 

Inthi ramana maharshi’s desciple  writen by vasista muni ganapathi,brahmavidya,yogavidya, informing  in ramanageetha  second chapter ‘maargathraya kathana’  is completed.

bhagavan

5) our thoughts should be returned from  sense objects with effort.later  nirupadhika(upadhiless,adjunctless,objectless) firm criticism  we  should indulge.

 

6)this is path of knowing  real form(self form) in brief.by that trial only great athma darshana (realisation)also is got.

 

dyvaratha

7) high muni  to man till yogasiddhi is attained will rules help in getting athma?(ie,shoucha(cleanliness),santhosha(happyness),penance,self study(svaadhyaya),,eshwara pranidana rules should they be practiced till self realisation   occurs? Is inner meaning of  question).

 

bhagavanuvacha

8)to sincere trials of  desirers of self realisation(athmadarshana) rules help.those who attain athmadarshana(selfrealisation)  and become kruthakruthyathe (what is to be done is done) them rules leave by  themselves.

 

Dyvaratha told:

 

Fourth chapter:

Self form(svarupa)  of knowledge:

First question

1)high among munies!what is knowledge?’I am brahma;.i am parabrahma.all this is I am only’ among  these which vritthi (mental make up,mental attitude) is knowledge(jnana)?

 

1)    Or ‘ all these are brahma ‘ is it knowledge?or other than these four vritthies knowledge different?

 

Answer to  this

3)My guru  bhagavan ramana with me who is desciple listening  to this question with honour told

 

4)all previously told  mental make ups are feelings of mind only. No doubt.but jnanies   say ,to reside(stand) in  pure self form only is jnana

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Note:Getting out through senses gets shape of  sense object,this is called vritthi.

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

 

5)removing doubts  on listening to words of acharya  to me again one more doubt came. I questioned them.

 

Second question

6)high among rushies!can penanciers know  by mental make ups(mental attitudes)  understand brahma. Kindly solve my doubt which is produced in  my mind.

 

7) to those who surender to  his feet ,friend maharshi,after listening my question,by his grace making me to bathe(seing me with love) told like this.

 

answer to this:

8)vritthi,when we start to know brahma which is our athma,it becomes athma only..it does not remain as different( if that vritthi remains different only then is it possible to understand brahma.this question arises.

 

9)this romantic  producing  our both’s , this brief conversation was done on 1917 july21.

 

Like this(ithi) ramana maharshies  desciple  vasista ganapathi muni writen,brahma vidya yogavidya informing in ramana geetha’knowledge form story’ fourth chapter is completed

 Fifth  chapter:

Heart science

1)    In previously told year ie 1917 august month 9 th day sri ramana muni regarding heart told in detail.

 

2)dehi’s (all animals having body) all thoughts from where they start that itself is heart.it’s  all other   descriptions  are only feelings of mind.

 

3)the thought ‘I’ is source of all other thoughts.to tell brieflyfrom where the thought ‘I’ arises  that itself is heart

 

4)if heart  is place of anahatha chakra(wheel),starting of yoga practice from muladhara  how it is correct.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Note:Anahatha-in yoga scripture  anahatha wheel is fourth,muladhara is first and lowest  among six wheels.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

5)that heart is not organ of blood circulation. This is different from that.ayam+hruth  vritthi this tells athma only.(hruth indicates receiver’ayam’ directs athma.this is adhyathmic heart.

 

6)this heart is in right side of chest. Not in left at all.from heart jnanajyothi  through ‘sushumne’ flows to sahasraara.

 

7)from sahasrara jnanajyothi(light of knowledge),flows to all parts of  body.by that experiences of world occurs.coming experiences  if known as diferent from jnanajyothi man becomes samsari.

 

8)sahasrara of one who is sincere to athma,becomes pure jyothi form only.any thought which comes  near to it won’t remain.

 

9) because of nearness   mind may grasp some object(thing).but that mind will obstruct  yoga.because such ming won’t grasp differentiation.(it sees oneness  everywhere.

 

10)when knowledge  is  firm and concentrated it may grasp  objects.then it is called ‘natural   state.the state in which objects are not seen itself is called’nirvikalpa’ samadhi.(trance)

 

11)whole universe is in in body.whole body is in  heart. Therefore  whole universe is in heart.this is to be understood.

 

12)world is not different from mind.mind is not different from heart.like this all story of universe  ends in heart.

 

13)as sun is to world so heart is to body.the mind which is sahasrara will like moon rays to world.

 

14)like sun gives  light to moon  heart gives spirit(chaithanya) to body.

 

15) when there no sun moon light is seen.in same way man not approaching  heart sees mind only

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Note: one who undergoes death is ‘marthya’.one who who doesnot know about heart himself is marthya.to indicate this that word is used.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

16)the ignorant   person won’t understandthat athma is source of all thejases.(light,brightness). He thinks the things of world   are different from him,knowing by mind he illuses.s

 

17)jnani who has got nearness of heart,like moon light uniting in sun during day,sees light of mind  hiding in light of heart.

 

18)word prajnana  is understood as mind  to outer view.but jnanies  know it’s real meaning is heart. There is no  higher thing( para vasthu) other  than heart.

 

19)than thing to be seen(drishya),seer(drusta) is diferent .this mind has come only from mind.to jnani residing in heart only both drik and drishya(thing to be seenand seer) are one and same only.

 

20)unconsciousness,sleep,overjoy, or sorrowor sorrow,fear  thoughts(vritthies)return to their source, heart.

 

21)during that time  vritthies(thoughts)  return to heart.this is not known to ignorant. But a jnani knows.therefore onlysleep,samadhi(trance) , jnani,ignorant name diference  also appears.

 

 Inthu sri ramana maharshies desciple  vasista ganapathi muni writen,brahmavidya,yoga vidya informing,in ramanageetha’heart education’ named fifth chapter is completed.

Sixth Chapter:

Technique of controling mind:

1)high among those who know philosophy(thathvashasthra) ramana maharshi described   heart principles  as told previously. Afterwards he told  plan of controling mind.

 

2)those who are interested in sense oblects  will always be in  same worries(thoughts).by smell (predisposition, memory) to them it is difficult  win mind.

 

3)man his fickle mind(not firm) ,should take under control  by prana niridha.(prana contorl).on doing like this.if done so  like an animal tied by rope,mind becomes firm(moovmentless).

 

4)by prana rodhana(searching prana by mind)vritthi nirodha (control of vritthies) (control on thoughts). Occurs.one who has win over vritthies, stands in birth place of  vritthies(heart).

 

5)prana rodha means to search  prana(moovment of breath) by mind.if observed  contineously  kumbhaka is attained.

6) those who are not able to attain kumbhaka  by this method to them kumbhaka is taught by hatayoga method.

 

7) ‘rechaka’ one time(expiration),one time puraka(to take breath inside)    kumbhaka(to hold breath) should be done four times.if done so  nadies(pulses?) become  pure(shuddha).

 

8)when nadies become pure,prana comes  under  control.total control of prana itself is  called’shuddha kumbhaka’

 

9)jnanies ,tellrechaka as renunciation of feeling of  body itself is self,athma jijnase as puraka,kumbhaka is ‘natural state’.

 

10)even by chanting of manthras also  mind control is attained.then manthra becomes one with prana and  mind.s

 

11)when letters in manthras  unite with prana(breathing,inspiration and expiration) is called meditation(dhyana).when meditation becomes firm   natural state(sahaja  sthithi) is formed

 

12)  by company of mahathmas  who are athma jnanies, saathnikas, contineously ,mind will  unite with it’s origin(in athma).

 

Inthu(like this) ramana maharshi’s desciple vasista ganapathi muni writen,brahmavidya ,yoga vidya informing(teaching) in ramanageetha  technique (plan) of mind control. Sixth chaprter is completed.

Chapter seventh:

Athma topics(enquiry)-authority and it’s parts:

1)     High(supreme) conversation  between kaarshni born in bharadvaja  kula(community) and acharya ramana , is told in seventh chapter.

 

2)what is svarupa(self-form) of athma enquiry?what are it’s use?more than that  by other plans  is there any fruit?(result).

 

3)’I’ thought(vritthi)  is sum total of all thoughts.that thought ‘I’ birth place (origin,source)  is to be criticised(discussed).

 

4)    without  searching   birth place  of ’I’ thought(feel), study of scriptures telling about adhyathma (athma topic) is not athma enquiry only.when search of  origin of  aham thought(vritthi)  is carried out,ahamkara merges with it’s  source.s

 

5)if ego fully disappears which is in disguise of  athma,total in all aspects ,pure, true athma form only remains.  

 

6)to be releived by all kinds of sorrow  itself is use of athma(self) enquiry.

 Removal of all kinds of sorrows  is best result(fruit).  No higher fruit  than this.

 

7)wonderful other siddies can be got by other techniques(plans,practices).thogh they are got at end  by athma enquiry only  real happiness occurs.

 

Kaarshni  uvacha:

8)who is the authority (officer) considered   with   athma vichara(topic).for athma vichara  I am suitable(eligible) person,is it possible to know by oneself?

 

9+10)while doing athma vichara(enquiry)  in them above said  autority treasure(eligibility) should be there.(when ever a work is asked to be done  yhe eligibility is  authority.)he should be holy  either by upasana(worship) or  any other parh.ge will be having defect in body and sense objects.though mind has to moov  in sense objects to this officer(adhikari)  there will be no interest(taste) in those matters.he knows well  that body is temporary.

 

11)feeling that body is temporary and disinterest in sense objects by these two  signs,whether there is authority (eligibility) athma vichara(self –enquiry)  or not is known

 

12+13)one by virtue of disinterest in him,and by viveka also becomes authority

 To do athma vichara.baths,sandhyavandanas manthra chant, yajnas(sacrifices)studies of vedas,god worship,,chanting (recital) of  holy names of god(bhajan),piligrimage,yajnas and yagas,performace of  donation and vrathas excetra  performed by such a person are of any use to him?or their performance to such  authority(adhikari,officer),to that authority  waste of time?s

 

Bhagavan:

14)When desires (ragas) are decreasingand to authority  who in beginning stage of self enquiry all these karmas produce more chitthashuddhi(purification of mind).

 

15)good works done by  mind,speech and body,will destroy  bad works done by  ming speech and body.

 

16)all sathvika karmas done  by  authorities   with pure  mind,matured, do help to world.

 

17)scholars  with matured  intellect,to advice to others  by their example,for favour(welfare) of world  performing suitable karmas,.not with fear of exceeding rules told in  scriptures.

 

18)result  not added with difference intellect,,with friendship(company) and  doership,done sathkarmas    renunciation of  doership to athma vichara won’t obsrtuct.

 

19)by person with matured mind though suitable karmas are not done ,it does not produce sin to him.because athma thinking  is more punyaful than all other karmas and supreme holy also.

 

20)in authorities(officers)  with matured intellect and athma thought two kinds of performance are seen.if they leave karmas,that renunciation  is with purpose of uniting with  brahma in loneliness.if suitable  karmas are performed,that is meant for other’s favour.this   should be known.

 

21)is there any other path   than athma enquiry  for attainment of liberation?

If there is is it only path or are there any other paths.you who are  bhagavath svarupa  should inform.

 

22)bhagavan

One tries to get some thing.another wants to get athma only.among these though atension of first one is long,at end he also joins athma.

 

23)one who meditates his mind gets concentration..concentration of mind  makes us  to stand  in athma svarupa.

 

24)meditater,though he does not want,will have athma sincirity(athmaniste).opposite to this athma enquirer  gets athma sincirity  by knowing(knowledge) only.

 

25)who meditates upon some god,manthra,,or higher matter at end merges with great light called athma.

 

26)like this one who meditates and athma enquierer goal is sme only.among these twoif one gets peace by meditation, another becomes peaceful by  knowledge only.

Inthu ramana maharshies dsciple vasista muni ganapathi writen brahma vidya,yogavidya, teaching  in ramanageetha  seventh chapter‘athma-enquiery-authority And it’s parts’ completed.

Nineth chapter:

Granthi bheda(removal of relation)

1)    August 14 day night,dubtful even for scholars,’granthi bheda’(removal of relation) about this I enquired  ramana mharshi.

 

2)very much bright,bhagavath form ramana maharshi heard my words.later thinking for some time told in his own divine method.

 

3)the relation between body and athma  is called ‘granthi’.(gland?).by that relation to athma  body related jnana appears.

 

4)body is jada(nonmooving).athma is spirit form.(chaithanya form).relation between is guessed by  intellect.

 

5)child!from pure chaithanya spread everywhere covered body becomes active.in sleep,unconsciousness no sense(consciousness)(of world).then existance of athma  can be guessed.

 

6)like delicate power (not seen by eye)through seeable(visible)  wires flows,in same way jnana light in body flows nadi.

 

7)as sun enlights whole world,bright jnama light,through a centre enlightens  whole body.

 

8)by spread of that light experiences are  produced in body.that enligting cantre only yogies call ‘heart’.

 

9)by play of  powers of nadi ,flood of  jnana light is guessed. All powers of body depending upon related special nadies works.

 

10)special nadi in which  chaithnya flows is called ‘sushumna’.the same nadi is also called ‘athma nadi’,’paranaadi’ and ‘amruthanaadi.’

 

11)whole body is occupied  by chaithanya light.therefore only jiva having pride in  body,body itself ia athma,whole world is different from me  he thinks.s

 

12)one who is viveki( person with ability to decide good and bad right and wrong) affection,thinking body as athma,leaving these  if self enquiry is done about athma all naadies of body will be churned.(purified).

 

13)in this way  by  churning naadies self (athma) gets seperated from naadies.he depending upon  amrutha naadi only  shines.

 

14)having bright light,chaithanya light,when enters in athma naadi only,except athma,nothing is shown.

 

15)all things which are in front of him jnani does not understand separate existance   from athma.as body appears   clearly to non scholar(ignorant)

Jnani knows athma.

 

16)to ignorant  as body  appears clearly,to whom inside ,outside  and everywhere athma  only shines   he is called ‘bhinnagranthi’.(one who has detached  relation of body and  athma.)

 

17) granthi(relation) will be of two kinds.a bundle of naadi is called  is granthi. Mental affection  is ome more.even if seer(looker) is delicate he through naadi bandha(bondage)  realises gross world.

 

18)chaithnya light returning from all naadies,when depend on only one naadi  the relation between  chethana and body detaches  and chaithanya  light takes athma feel.

 

19)red heated ‘iron ball ‘appears like  fire ball only.in same way  to athma  jnani

 Heated   in fire of   athma enquiry(athma vichara) this whole world appears as athmamaya (athmaful).

 

20)body and mind excetra related previous smells(samskaras,predispositions)

 Then get destroyed.as there is no bodyintellect(feel) then’I am doer’feel also he will not get.

 

21)  as he has no feeling of I am doer,all his karmas will get burnt   it is said.for such person  as there are no other things as there is only athma  vasthu(material)he will have no doubt.

 

22)like this once granthi(relation between  body and self) is detached such a person will never have   become bound (samsari) forever.that itself is much poerful and  supreme peaceful  state it is known. 

 

Inthu ramana maharshi’s  desciple vasista ganapathi muni writen brahmavidya,yogavidya, informing  in ramana geetha ‘granthibheda’(seperation of relations) named nineth  chapter  is completed.

Eleventh chapter:

Similarity of jnana and siddhies:

1+2)I approached guruvarya on 16th night.high among munies,knowing parabrahma,great  mystic in human form.such ramana   ,for jnana  which  can’t be got inspite of difficulty,by geting ,praised to become blessed.

 

3)very high athma sincirity,pure intellect,are presentonly in us.as sea is repository of all water,you are source to all knowledge.

 

4)when you    are  seveteen only  have atained high success.not got even by yogies,you have athma jnana(self knowledge.

 

5)seen by our eyes(coming to experience), all feels by your vision of knowledgehave become merely shadows.such your condition who can describe?

 

6)drowned in family,wandering here and there,to people having desire of crossing very big sorow,you only are  better residence.

 

7)o brahma form!through god given,I  see  you brahma nista( brahma sinciere) human form  subrahmanya in step and  step.

 

8)lord!wheather in swami malai,,in kshanika parvatha( mountain)(thirutthani),venkata hill (thirupathi),you are not there.really you reside in arunachala.

 

9)lord!previously  to narada who treated you as your desciple,advicing secret bhumavidya(universal whloe) are you only.

 

10)those who know vedas tell you are  brahmarshi sanathkumara,those who know agamas tell you are god of gods subrahmnya.

 

11)these are all different name only ,not separate individuals.sanathkumara  skanda are equivalent words to you.(diferent words giving same meaning)s

 

12)lord! You in past  you taking birth as  kumarila  brahmin,you have   reestablished dharma told in vedas.

 

13)god form!in dravida desha(land)  when jains produced  illusion about dharma(religion) ,you incarnating as  established devotion path.(bhakthi  marga).

 

14)mahathma!satisfied only by  mere scripture knowledge to avoid obstacle to  brahmajnana by scholars   you have come to this earth.

 

15)lord! Many doubts of your desciples  were solved by you.by kindness solve this my doubt.

 

16)high muni!wheather jnana  and siddhies  are they mutually opposite or in between them is there any relation.

 

17)like this asked by me through shlokas(stanzas)  bhagavan ramana,saw   me  with serious vision and told like this to me.

 

 

18)one who is standing in natural state,(sahaja sthithi),by his nature onlyperforms penance  which can’t be exceled(exceeded).in natural state there is nothing like  laziness.

 

19)without self trial produced natural athma sincirity  itself is durdharsha (un exceedable) penance.by such penance contineously done ,mayurity happens in each moment.

 

20)by such maturity in due course divine jnani  ma get  siddhies may occur.if orarabdha karma is like that only even jnani also moov with such siddhies.s

 

21)for one who is muni,world does not look  diferent from  athma svarupa(self form).for jnani  even performed  miracles also are not different fromathma svarupa.

 

22)in case if   prarabdha karmas  like that (to moov with pavadas,(miracles )

,though jnani  though having   all powers,like an ocean without  disturbance of waves,,will keep quiet without doing anything.

 

23)such a jnani standing in natural state will not go in search of aything..all powers end in athma’s natural state.

 

24)penance  without   effort  itself is ‘natural state’(sahajasthithi).in this natural state by maturity  various kinds of powers are formed. 

 

25)one who stands in athmasvarupa(self-form),though sorrouned by many,performs wonderful penance.he does not have need of  loneliness.

 

26)those who think jnana(knowledge) is powerless does not know anything.because  added with all powers,complete by all means knows his real form(svarupa).

 

 Inthu ramana  maharshi’s desciple  vasistaganapathi muni  writen,brahmavidya,yogavidya,informing   ramanageetha ‘jnana and siddhies saamarasya’(equal feel, match,adjustment) eleventh  is completed

Chapter twelth:

Power topic(matter):

1)    On 19th date   serious minded,high among scholars,born in  bharadwaja gothra family kapali,on thirsday questioned  guru  ramana.

 

Kapali:

2)bhagavan(god)!in transactions of this world (loukika) to both jnani (knower)and ignorant three factors appear in common we observe.these facts are      vishayi(knower), vishaya  (object  to be known),vritthi(knowledge of thing).

 

3)when reality is like this,by which special character  jnani is higher than ignorant? Sir(lord),I request you to solve my doubt.

bhagavan

4)to whom (knower)  his athma form also, one only to him  vishaya(object to be known) and knowledge(jnana) both also athma form only(self form) only.

 

5)to whom ,by his affection  to be known(object ,person) appears diferent,to him object and  knowledge  appear different.

 

6) in reality no difference,,looking different only in appearance, in all objects jnani sees nondifferentiation(uniqueness) only.but ignorant under control of  diference of appearance, in himself who is knower seea athma diferentiation.

 

7)kapali

Lord!in whom thriputi appears as different his svarupa is powerful or becomes powerless?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Note:jnana(knowledge),jneya object to be known, jnathru(knower) are all  three put together  called ‘thriputi’.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Bhagavan

Child!thriputi(knowledge,knower, object to be known.)  added diferentiation when appears, that form is all powerful tell those who know vedantha.

 

Kapali:

9)Lord!people knowing vedantha   telling in eshwara’s  power is there any moment or not?

 

bhagavan

10) by moovment of  eshwara only whole world is produced but  residence(ashraya) to that moovment , sadvasthu (existing thing) won’t moov.s

 

11)sadvasthu(athma,ultimate reality) won’t moov.depending upon  non mooving sadvasthu,power(shakthi) mooves. This moovment of shakthi is  cause of world.scholars   call this only as maya which is anirvaachya,anirvachaneeya,indescribable)(anirvachaneeya means can’t be told difinitely).

 

12)this moovment  to knower(jnathru)  appears to be true. High human!really this moovment  is not seen in athma(self).

 

13)the difference between  eshwara and shakthi is apparent only not real.to appear like that  dvaitha vision  is cause.if this dvaitha vision ends shiva and shakthi  both become one.

 

14)kapali

Worshipable, this action(karma,kriye) of eshwara  is it eternal?or temporal?please kindly inform me.

 

bhagavan

15)Though eshwara mooves by his  supreme power,really he is immovable only.this supreme  secret is known only by munies.

 

16)moovment is  kriya(action).action itself is shakthi(power).supreme purusha by his power created what ever  we see.

 

17)pravrutthi and nivrutthi  are two kinds of transactions.”for one who knows  all these are athma only.”this vedic sentence  directs (indicates) nivrutthi transaction.

 

18)like this ‘sarvam(all)’ word  indicates principles of  vision of dvaitha.’abhuth’ (became)indicates  a  kind of of action(kriye). 

 

19)in vedas(shruthi)  while  telling “all these are athma only”,as it is atressed  ‘athma only’,all kinds of things  all kinds of things merge in athma only.this  fact is told.

 

20) high human!without shakthi our form is not knowable.to shakthi(power) ‘vyapara’ and ‘ashraya’ are two names.

 

21)to creation,maintainance and destruction all these is called vyapara(transaction).ashraya is not different from athma svarupa(form).this is told by scholars.

 

22) svarupa(self form) itself has become all. It is not dependent on other (thing).vrutthi is action form,svarupa is   ashraya form.who considers both  these as shakthi(power) he only knows.s

 

23) if  vritthi(kriye) is not there sadvasthu(parabrahma) would not have become

Various kinds.if sadvasthu were (brahma)  were different shakthi,there would have been no action.

 

24)in case if total desrtuction(pralaya)  happens to this world,vyapara uniting with svarupa as thogh becomes merged.

 

25)without power(shakthji)creation  added with  thriputi(jnathru,jneya,jnana),no action of creation,knowledge will not take place.

 

26)beyond all, delicate power is called by two names1) svarupa is ashraya

2) creation excetra activity,is called vyapara (transaction).

 

27)high human!one who tells  to shakthi moovment itself is character,they  should tell better on thing as residence to shakthi.

 

28) better among better and one only that  thing few scholars  call as power,few call as svarupa  chaithanya(spirit),again few scholars   as brahma ,again same  thing other scholars call  purusha.

 

29)to grasp truth there are two paths. Lakshana(feature) and  becoming thing.it (truth) is identified by  specialities. And by ‘sath’ form  directly experienced.

 

30)therefore that sath svarupa(form) vyapara(transaction,kriye), and vasthuthaha( directly experiencing as it is) are known by two paths.through character in it  grasping is ‘thatastha’(indirect form) ,to grasping  by experiencing  as it is is   also called ‘saakshath’(direct grasping)

 

31)sath svarupais called ashraya,vyapara(transaction,action) is  called lakshana.

Through action(kriya)  knowing kriyaashraya(residence 0f action,have to reside in that ashraya only.

 

32) sath svarupa  will be with  lahshana(guna,character). And lakshana will be  with  svarupa.the relation  those two will be nondiferentitiaion(abheda). 

 

33)sath svarupa, is known by   thatashtha lakshana, vyapara form  (action) gunas(charecters) .therefore it(sath)will have action(vypara) always.

 

34)when seen in principle,action is not different from matter form.but all known differentiation is (that is different this is different knowledge) by our imagination only.

 

35)Creation which is called play(leela) of power,is imaginatory.when even that imagination is crossed  only matter form(vasthu svarupa) remains.

 

Inthu(like this) ramana maharshi’s desciple vasista ganapathi muni writen,brahmavidya yogavidya informing  ramanageetha’power matter’ named twelth chapter is completed.

Chapter thirteenth:

To female and male  equal authority in sanyasa:

 

1+2+3)to those who belong to athri family,(athreyas)like moon light,contineously knowing brahma mahadeva’s mother,,ideal wife,who has undertaken service of world,,praised by gods,who has taken practice  of  ‘srividya’,to those in south of vindhya mountain guru of thara vidya vishalakshi,is friend of  my penance,wife also.

 

4) clean (pure) bodied,through me,asked two questions to ramana maharshi who is  thinker of world favour.

 

5)to females who are athma sincere,if  obstacles come across in house is there chance  to take up sanyasa by leaving house  in scriptures.

 

6)if a female who is jeevanmukthes after leaving body is it feasible(suitable)  to do agni samskara(burning) or is it feasible to do samadhi?

 

7)god form,high among rushies,,knower of   summary of all scriptures, ramana,listening to both these questions,told his decision in  that matter.

 

8)athma sincere,and females with matured heart can take up(accept) sanyasa.no defect in this.the prohibition that a female should not take up sanyasa is not promoted here(accepted,supported).

 

9)in liberated stage  there is no diferentiation of female and male..in same way  in knowledge state(jnanavasthe) no diference of male and female.therefore after leaving of body of jeevanmukthe females to that body burning(funeral)  should not be done.that body should be considered as god temple.

 

10)a man who is jeevanmuktha,after leaving body,if that bodyis burnt,many defects havae been told in scriptures.in same way jeevanmuktha female’s body  if  burnt there will be defects.

 

11)1917th year august 21 st day jnani ramana maharshi,regarding  a   jnani 

Femle told these facts.

 

Like this(inthu) ramana maharshi’s  desciple vasista ganapathi muni  writen,brahmavidya, yogavidya, informing ramabageetha “equal authority to sanyasa for famales and males” named chapter  thirteenth is completed.

Fourteenth  chapter:

Jeevanmukthi topic(matter):

 

1+2)1917th year august 21st day night,born in shiva family prajna,speaker bharadvaja vydarbha questioned ramana maharshi.maharshi  answered  to be heard by all.

 

3)to scriptures and world related feels without being fickled(disturbed)  to stand in ‘nijasvarupa’(real form)   itself is jeevanmukthi.(liberation while living).

 

4)in  prajnana(atheendriya jnana) as there is no differentiation,liberation is of only one kind.one who gets liberated while in body (living) he is called jeevanmuktha.

 

5)to experience of jeevanmuktha and   as told in scriptures,reaching brahmaloka

And then geting liberated there,there is no diference in experience.

 

6)to experience  of one who gets liberated after reaching brahmaloka  and to experience of jeevanmuktha(liberated while living), no diference.in same way ,which mahathma’s  pranas  merge with  brahma at end his experience is alsp same.

 

7)to all athma niste(athma sincirity  is produced in same way.similarly,relief from family bondage  also happens to all in same way.liberation is of only one kind.there is no diference between jeevanmukthi and kramamukthi.it is present in other’s intellect.

 

8)high human!with athma sincirity getting liberated in this body only(jeevanmuktha) mahathma’s prana also merge with athma here only.

 

9 )few special jeevanmukthas,by maturity of their penance,though their shape is seen,they  become not possible to touch.

 

10)when penance of jeevanmukthas still matures,even outer  shape may also get diappeared.being in pure chaithanya(athma,spirit) svarupa such siddhas moov according to their own will.s

 

High among humans!

11)these both siddhies ,by grace of god may be got in very short time.

 

12)due to diference in siddhies,no diference in mukthi.wheather there is body or bodyless,,one who stands in athma firmly is  only muktha(liberated).

 

13)who going through sushumna naadi in archiradi path(path told by vedanthas to one who gets  kramamukthi(step wise liberation))gets better world,he gets liberated by knowledge produced there only..

 

14)to one who gets heart maturity well,to worshiping yogi by grace of god,through sushumna naadi better  fate(gathi,liberation) is attained.

 

15)such person mooves everywhere in all worlds.he by virtue of his determination  gets many bodies.he hah got power of blessing others.s

 

16)few scholars tell kylasa as worrld of liberateds.,few tell vykunta  and still few people  tell sunsystem(surya mandala) as world of liberateds.

 

17)hey scholar!like  earth excetra worlds,worlds of these liberateds also(kylasa,vykunta,and sun ray) by wonderful powerare all imaginated  in sadrupa(athma).

 Chapter fifteen:

Description of shravana,manana,nidhidhyasana:

1)lord!high in community of munies!  What is meaning of shravana,manana, nidhidhyasana?

 

2)supreme among knowers of brahma ramana,being asked by me like thison 1917,august22nd, told like this in front of desciples.

 

3)to hear meaning of upanishath sentences,with explanation given acharya(guru) is called  shravana,few peoples tell.

 

4)brahma(athma,self) knowing acharya describing athmasvarupa(self form),hearing from his talk only is called shravana,few pepole tell.

 

5+6)hearing to vedantha sentences or acharyas experienced talks or without these two produced by good work(punya,sukrutha)  have to give  response to call of heart.heart itsel is source(origin) of  ‘I’ thought.it is not body or mind.to respond to  this  type  of  call  of heart itself is real ‘shravana’.(hearing,listening)

 

7)to think of meaning of scriptures itself is called ‘manana’few peoples tell.but thinking of athma svarupa(self-form)  itself is real manana.(repetition).

 

8)without doubts orillusions,union of athma and brahma to decide by intellect is nididhyasana.

 

9)though union of brahma and athma  is known without doubt  and illusions

As told in scriptures that itself is not athmanubhuthi(athma experience).

 

10)vasista! Doubts and illusuions are   not  removed  by studying hundreds  of scriptures unless cleared by athma anubhuthi(athma experience).

 

11)scriptures remove doubts and illusions of  those who have  faith(interest,sincirity) only.if there is defect in shraddha( interest,sincirity) both of them(doubts and illusions) will reappear.

 

12)vasista!by self experience(athmanubhuthi,athmanubhava) only those two’s(doubt and illusions) source eradication will be there.so to stand in athma svarupa itself is called ‘nididhyasana’.

 

13)child!without athma sincirity,if mind is mooving in outer world,though hundreds of books(texts) are studied, there may be   no athma’s direct knowledge(experience) .

 

14)hey,koundinya family born,! Without our trial,to stand in athma’s real form(svarupa) is  natural that itself is liberation.that itself is better stage(state).that is called realisation.

 

Like this ramana maharshi’s desciple vasista ganapathi muni writen,brahmavidya,yogavidya informing in ramanageetha’shravana,manana,nididhyasana’ chapter fifteen completed.

 Sixteenth chapter:

Devotion  topic(matter):

1)Later high among men ,mahathma bhagavan ramana maharshi,being questioned   about   devption told like this.

 

2)athma  is very dearer matter.no other is as dearer is athma.regarding athma contineous love like oil flow(thyla dhaare)  is called devotion.

 

3)athmajnani knows god is not different from him.,devotee though knows that he is diferent  from  god(paramathma)(dvaitha feel) will be merged in athma only.

 

4)love of devotee,like oil flow when flows towards god contineously,though devotee has no desire  that devotion  carries him towards athma svarupa(form).

 

5+6)devotee knows that  he is diferent  god,less knowledgeble.for removal of difficulties  worships paramathma  who is omnipresent  with divine intellect.

Still,at end gets what he worships.

 

7) high among humans!

Devotee imagines name and form  to god he woorships.through them only he crosses all names and forms.

(parabrahma in original form  is nameless and shapeless.names  and forms(rupa) are attributed by us in parabrahma.leavinf them to think of only brahma  is to cross names and forms.experiencing  vishnu.shiva excetra  names and forms,we will cross world’s  atributed(aropithavada) names and forms.

 

8)after total completion of devotion(about sadrupa(sath+rupa) even if heard once also it is enough.then devotion will be able to give  complete jnana.

 

9)like oil flow(fall?) contineous devotion  is called divided(piece,vichchinna) devotion.this divided devotion is cause of parabhakthi(supreme devotion,high)

.this is decision of scholars.

 

10)for sake fulfilment of desiredevotee worships paramathma.though that desire is fulfiled  he will not have satisfaction.then he worships   god again for eternal(nithya) joy.

 

11)devotion which is done for sake of  fulfilment of some desire,even after fulfilment of desire continues.in makes devotion to increase  in god still more.

 

13)like this devotion developed,gradually with time  becoming complete(jnani),as he crosses family(samsara) ,devotee also by total devotion crosses family.s

Matter (topic)of getting jnana:On 1917,august25thscholar vydarbha in front  of maharshi hubly doing namaskarams again questioned.

 

vydarbha told

1)    To us wheather knowledge is got little by little gradually or at once  shines like sun?

 

bhagavan

3)knowledge (jnana)  won’t come ittle by little gradually.jnanawhen gets matured  by practice at once shines completely.

 

 

vydarbha

4)worshipable!(reverend) at the time of practice  mind mooves inside and outside .is introversion (antharmukha) of mind is it called jnana(knowledge)?

 

bhagavan

5)scholar!if mind becomes once inside and again goes outside,,it is called abhyasa(practice).mental thought wwithout sliping even a little becomes  introvert is called jnana.

 

ydarbha

6)high muni!scholars have told some  stages of knowledge  in scriptures.h

Ow it is right?

 

bhagavan

7)scholar!stages of knowledge told in scriptures,like liberation diferentiation  is seen only by ajnani(ignorant).for jnani  knowledge(jnana) is of only one kind.

 

8)action(vypara) of body and senses  runs according to  past karma(prarabdha karma).(prarabdha karma means karma which has started to give results)Others who have seen this guess stages of jnana.really there is no diferentiation of jnana bases(jnana bhumikes).

 

vydarbha

1)born in supreme  parashara gothra,having clear history,son of sundara pandith,

Having beautiful eyes,like lotus,belonging to eart god’s (bhusuras) group(athmajnanies,brahmins knowing athma are called ‘bhusuras’) bringing success.bhagavan sri ramana humbly questioned amruthanatha yatheendra.

By getting them through upadesha(preaching,advice)of guru ,should live high(ujjivisabeku).manthra possess seed letters(beejaaksharas).only those who have shraddha(interest,sincirity)  only, to reveal   is tradition.therefore in this  stanza ‘seed letters (beejakshara)  in gurumanthras are told alternatively.it is translated to kannada  acording gurumanthra bhaashya.vedadihi= omkara prounounced in the beginning of vedaspaakada  manottharakachche peshyhi=paakada manana means indra.the beejakshara  indicating him is ‘lakaara’it’s next letter is ‘vakaara’.kachchapesha denotes rudra by name’kurmesha’ tells beejakshara of  ‘chakaara’.thyhi=(om vacha)added with these beejakshara,dharaadharaha=this tells mountain beejakshara dakaara.sushupthihi=sleep  tells shakthi’s beejakshara ‘bhakaara’.

11)he is yathi without stick(danda).but he is a dandapani.(dandapani is another name of karthikeya.)he is tharaka  in   making to cross   ocean of  sorrow.

He is tharaka.(making tocross).but thaarakaara also.though  has left bhava(this world) worship bhava only.(that means always worships or chants,or sings about shiva.Though swan no desire of manasa lake.(that means paramahamsa    without any imaginations in mind.here ‘dandapani,thaarakaari,bhavam bhajantham’ these poems indicate ramana is incarnation of  karthikeya.though he has  no danda(sacred stick) he is thaarakaari.though left bhava,he worships(bhajisu)(virodha aabhaasa alankara) has described skillfully.

14)with attraction emotions(feelings and thoughts)and in the form of welfare (kalyana)thoughts    form  wife devasen  even  today also enlighting in his head.

(karthikeya is called mahasena.)all welfareful thoughts are his   army only.this is devasena also.these good vritthies (thoughts)  are his army only.this is devasena also. These good vritthies  shine in sahasrara  in their head.this is also called ramani.as sriramana’s wife  to him good vritthies  are imaginated as his wife.like this ramana,though ramani yuktha not even lttle feels   of manmatha(kama,lust).

By house wife called ‘shubha vritthi’(good thoughts)  he is house holder.(gruhastha)..he is hero of yathies also.(in his head   there are only good vritthhies(shubja vritthies) and he is jithemdriya).

 

15) ramana gives all boonswhich devotees request.ganapathi who knows manthras,to him also ramana is guru.to poet and nibandha karthru  ganapathi,is desciple of sri ramana is to be remembered).he knows the secret of manthra.he is like mandara tree in heaven..he removes all pains of those who surender to shadows of his feet.

 

16) wonderful,decorated by many yukthies,,rejuvenating vedas’thanthra varthika’ book   kumarila bhatta wrote.he  was praised by all scholars.that kumarila bhatta is now sri ramana form who is explaining  the secrets of vedantha.

 

17)sri ramana wrote ‘arunachala pancha rathna’.that in form of sammary of vedantha.though it is small like sthothra grantha,it is having powerful meaning.

 

18)sri ramana has not studied sanskrit.he has no aquaintence with poetries(kaavyas).but still speeches  emited in his texts  contain very highgroups of thoughts and feelings.

20)on earth  karthikeya  who drilled krouncha mountain,third form is sriramana.(karthikea,kumarila bhatta,and sri ramana  are three forms of skandha.but now in kumarila form karthikeya,,removing dark of ‘kevala tharka’through his life is giving ideal brahmaniste.(to vedantha,tharka(logic,yukthi) Is useless abd dark as scholars have told).

 

21)sri ramana is a famous poetin in  thamil which is respected byrushies like agasthya.without help of guru only  by his inner light  everyday   and paramjyothi

(supreme light) he has seen.

 

22)small boy,cattle  watchman,,monkey,dog,one who does badwork,scholar,devotee in  all  these without   even  a little diferentiation,gets that chidrupa’s(consciousform) equal darshan our maharshies get.

 

23)our sri ramana has got all  kinds oof power.still he is peaceful.no diferentiation  though   devotee.though disinterested he loves world only.though he is god’s form,he is very humble(polite) in behaviors.

 

24)”I an going  near my father.don’t search me” writing letter like this,going from house sri ramana joined base(thappalu) of arunachala.

 

25)sri ramana is decorated by infinet virtues(welfare charecters).sri amruthanatha yatheendra  requeste to inform about  mahimas(greatness) of  siddha maha purushas.

 

26) bhagavan  sri ramana residing in holy amruthachalaanswered to him like this. Mahimas of siddha purushas are impossible even for imagination also. He is equal to shiva.really they are shiva form only.they will have all powers of gracing which we pray

I am grateful to original auther,translater dr m.e. rangachar(who was also my sanskrit lecturer at dvs college shivamogga,in 1972-73 puc),and publishers.

Translation is my hobby.please  excuse and correct if there are any mistakes.

 

 

Sri  Ramanageetha   (part 1):

 

Ramanageetha itself is supreme holy ganga river.this jnanaganga takes birth  in mountain king(himalaya) called srmadramana maharshi.flowing through path of speech of ganapathi poet,to step and step removing heart dirts(kama(lust) ,anger excetra,joins  sea called devotee’s heart.

Sriramanageetha:

First chapter:

Explanation of prominence of  of upasane:

1)Karthikeya incarnated in human firm, mahsrshi also doing namaskarams to that ramana,hiw teachings are  are told clearly in this text(book)

 

Upasanam-upasanam means nly one type of  meditation(jnana santhathi).”ppasanam nameordinary prathyaya pravahakaranam”(sham.bra.bhaa  4-1-7)

 

Karthikeya-six peoples krutthikadevies son-kumaraswamy

 

2+3)that day   was  year 1913A.D.december 29th day.it is known that it is winter season.all desciples were siting  around maharshi with concentration.then with intension of getting  decisional knowledge questionned  bhagavan ramana.s

 

First question

4)Which is true matter?which is that real(true)  matterwhich is untrue(false)  matter.by this matter(enquiry) only  is liberation attained?is there any  other means of for bondage destruction? 

 

Second question

5)to seeker(jijnasu,one wo has desire to know self’s real condition))is discusion of vedantha excetra scriptures means of liberation?or acording to guru’s advice performed upasana(worship)  also  is needed for liberation attainment?s

 

6) third question:

By   complete knowledge  produced  in oneself, should he know himself as sthithaprajna?or by uparathi  one has to identify(recognise)  oneself as  sthithaprajna?

 

7)fourth question:

scholars  by which features recognise jnani?

Fifth question:

7)samadhi(trance) (mind  uniting with athma thathva) only gives  self knowledge?ot it fulfils worldly  desires only??

 

Sixth question:

8)Any person desiring for worldly  desires starts yogabhyasa.  but he becomes sthithaprajna by practice.then will his  intensional desires will also be fulfiled?

9)Guru,kindness treasure,solver of all doubts bhagavan ramana maharshi  answered my  questions.

 

Answer to first question:

10)only sincirity to athma(self)  cat relieve  man from all bondages.’this is true’ ‘this is untrue’(false,myth),this viveka(ability to decide good or bad ,right and wrong) becomes means of vyragya(disinterest,dejection) scholars say.s

 

Here yogabhyasa means ‘searching for athma thathva ‘ is to be understood.

s

11)sjnani will be serious(gambhira).(he won’t express his athma knowledge)he always stands in athma as base.he does not think  this world as false or  he does not think he is different from  world.

 

Answer to second question:

12)one who has become jijnasu only by study of  scriptures  can’t reach goal.without upasana there will be no moksha  siddhi(atainment of liberation).

This is definite.(sure)

 

13)at the time of practice of athma vidya produced experience of our true form is called ‘upasana’.when that experience becomes firmly atained is called ‘jnana’.

 

14)when leaving  sense objects(vishaya)  grasped by senses when stood as knowledge  flame in one’s own  natural state that is called’ athma’s sahaja sthithi’(self’s  natural state)

 

Answer to third question:

15)not even a little related  to vasana(smell,memory,predisposition) when by silence athma sincirity becomes firm,one who becomes jnani knows himself  as ‘jnani’ doubtlessly.

 

Vasana-‘I am doer’  ’ I ‘experience  this samskara  resided in our mind since beginingless time..this samskara itself is called ‘vasana’.for samskara of athma

 This only is original cause.if this is destroyed  jiva attains mukthi(liberation).this is told clearly in viveka chudamani.(viveka chudamani stanza 268)

 

Answer to fourth question:

If equality intellect is produced in all animal classes by that we can guess our athmajnana (self knowledge)has attained siddhi .

 

Answer to fifth question:

With worldly desires if   practice of  samadhi  is practiced,that desire also will be fulfilled.it is sure(definite).

 

Answer to sixth question

17) for completion of  worldly desires also  yoga may be practiced.if he becomes sthithaprajna in middle the desire which he had desired there will be  fufilled  without any  obstruction.but by this desire siddhi  is of no use to him.no joy is produced.( because he is self satisfied and to him only athma is seen everywhere.)

 

Ithi  ramana maharshi’s desciple vasista ganapathi muni writen,brahmavidya,yogavidya informing,making to understand prominence of upasana   first chapter is completed.

Chapter second:

Three paths.

1)in chathurmaasya of 1915,bhagavan ramana maharshi,summarising all  his upadesha saara told.

 

2)hrudaya kuhara madhye kevalam brahma maathram

Hyahamaham ithi saakshaath athmarupena bhaathi|

Hrudi visha  manasaa  svam  chinvatha majjatha vaa

Pavanachalanarodhada  athmanisto bhavathvam

 

inside of ‘heart cave’ brahma  onlt is shining.it is  showing(expressing) in athma form.(self fprm).is is realised as ‘myself’ ‘myself’( I am I am).by mind searching  ‘I’

,in itself (in source of thought of’ I’) entering deeply,through pranayama you entering heart  become athmanista(athma sinciere).

 

3) this is a stanza expressing itself through bhagavan ramana maharshi,is summary of all vedanthas.one who knows this there will be know doubt.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

 

Notes:this  is only stanza  writen by  ramana maarshi.this stanza (shloka) is summary of all vedanthas.all ramanageetha is hiden in this.what is athma jnana?what is plan(technique) of geting it.all these facts are  told summarilyit has been told clearly  itself is  speciality of  this stanza.this shloka has been called ‘ramanopanishath’,’hardopanishath’  also.

 

There is no bliss (joy)  higher than knowing athma.,that is in ourself only ,tells earlier half (purvardha) of  this stanza.in later half  technique(planO of getting  athma thathva is  directed.

Chinvatha- means  to search  source ‘I am’ with concentration.

Majjatha-to drown in athmathatva pnly .later ‘pavana chalana rodha’ is understood as  ‘pranayama’ only.but to give atension  to observe breathing  by mind is openion of  few known people.

 

No discusion aboutearlier half of this stanzathe techniques told in   later half  are two or three ,there is  diference of openion  among devotees class.

 

Sri kavyakanta ganapathi shasthry to second chapter  which includes this stanza

Has given headline of  ‘margathraya kathana’ (three path story).that means this  chapter tells about three pathsis his openion.but if we observe  sixth stanza of  same chapter,

Margana-searching source of  ‘who am I’

Majjana-to  make to  drown ‘I’ in it’s source)

Pavanachalanarodha(to breathing in  mind and observation) are three diferent  are same only in principle.)

This is openion of kaavya kanta.because all these three  plans(techniques) are not opposite to each other are mutually  complementary.

 

To this stanza which has been called  ramana’s   ekashloki fourteen kinds of meaning explanation  have been given   by  book of  naharsi vidya kendra.jijnasu’s can  get meaning explanation  fro there.

 

 

 

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….s

4)our body is  produced by earth,water,thejas(light),air,and sky panchabhuthas  has been called’panchabhouthika’.in this body seen by us athma(he  himself is shariraka) existing  has been told previously(second stanza) ,stanza’s  earlier half (purvardha) by bhagavan ramana .

 

5) there onlykind of identification  of athma  has been told.’I am different ‘’eshwara is different’ this diference of ‘jiveshwara  diferentiation(bheda)Is  also refuted and direct experience of athmathathva(aparokshaanubhuthi) is decided.various techniques(logics,yukthies) have also been  rejected.

 

6)in  second  half of  same shloka(stanza) three knids of adhyathmic  thoughts  (paths)have been told for sake of desciples.but they are  principally same. 

………………………………………………………………

Notes:

1)    From ‘ahamahamithi’ part

2)from parts ‘brahma maathram’  ‘ahamaham’

3)from ‘saakshaath bhaathi’

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

7)  first path  is called ‘ maargana’(search).to second ‘majjana’(to enter in) is the name.to third  part is called‘pranarodha’ pranayama.(to observe  breath keeping mind)

 

Inthi ramana maharshi’s desciple  writen by vasista muni ganapathi,brahmavidya,yogavidya, informing  in ramanageetha  second chapter ‘maargathraya kathana’  is completed.

bhagavan

5) our thoughts should be returned from  sense objects with effort.later  nirupadhika(upadhiless,adjunctless,objectless) firm criticism  we  should indulge.

 

6)this is path of knowing  real form(self form) in brief.by that trial only great athma darshana (realisation)also is got.

 

dyvaratha

7) high muni  to man till yogasiddhi is attained will rules help in getting athma?(ie,shoucha(cleanliness),santhosha(happyness),penance,self study(svaadhyaya),,eshwara pranidana rules should they be practiced till self realisation   occurs? Is inner meaning of  question).

 

bhagavanuvacha

8)to sincere trials of  desirers of self realisation(athmadarshana) rules help.those who attain athmadarshana(selfrealisation)  and become kruthakruthyathe (what is to be done is done) them rules leave by  themselves.

Fourth chapter:

Self form(svarupa)  of knowledge:

First question

1)high among munies!what is knowledge?’I am brahma;.i am parabrahma.all this is I am only’ among  these which vritthi (mental make up,mental attitude) is knowledge(jnana)?

 

1)    Or ‘ all these are brahma ‘ is it knowledge?or other than these four vritthies knowledge different?

 

Answer to  this

3)My guru  bhagavan ramana with me who is desciple listening  to this question with honour told

 

4)all previously told  mental make ups are feelings of mind only. No doubt.but jnanies   say ,to reside(stand) in  pure self form only is jnana

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Note:Getting out through senses gets shape of  sense object,this is called vritthi.

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

 

5)removing doubts  on listening to words of acharya  to me again one more doubt came. I questioned them.

 

Second question

7) to those who surender to  his feet ,friend maharshi,after listening my question,by his grace making me to bathe(seing me with love) told like this.

 

answer to this:

8)vritthi,when we start to know brahma which is our athma,it becomes athma only..it does not remain as different( if that vritthi remains different only then is it possible to understand brahma.this question arises.

 

9)this romantic  producing  our both’s , this brief conversation was done on 1917 july21.

 Fifth  chapter:

Heart science

1)    In previously told year ie 1917 august month 9 th day sri ramana muni regarding heart told in detail.

 

2)dehi’s (all animals having body) all thoughts from where they start that itself is heart.it’s  all other   descriptions  are only feelings of mind.

 

3)the thought ‘I’ is source of all other thoughts.to tell brieflyfrom where the thought ‘I’ arises  that itself is heart

 

4)if heart  is place of anahatha chakra(wheel),starting of yoga practice from muladhara  how it is correct.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Note:Anahatha-in yoga scripture  anahatha wheel is fourth,muladhara is first and lowest  among six wheels.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

5)that heart is not organ of blood circulation. This is different from that.ayam+hruth  vritthi this tells athma only.(hruth indicates receiver’ayam’ directs athma.this is adhyathmic heart.

 

6)this heart is in right side of chest. Not in left at all.from heart jnanajyothi  through ‘sushumne’ flows to sahasraara.

 

7)from sahasrara jnanajyothi(light of knowledge),flows to all parts of  body.by that experiences of world occurs.coming experiences  if known as diferent from jnanajyothi man becomes samsari.

 

8)sahasrara of one who is sincere to athma,becomes pure jyothi form only.any thought which comes  near to it won’t remain.

 

9) because of nearness   mind may grasp some object(thing).but that mind will obstruct  yoga.because such ming won’t grasp differentiation.(it sees oneness  everywhere.

 

10)when knowledge  is  firm and concentrated it may grasp  objects.then it is called ‘natural   state.the state in which objects are not seen itself is called’nirvikalpa’ samadhi.(trance)

 

11)whole universe is in in body.whole body is in  heart. Therefore  whole universe is in heart.this is to be understood.

 

12)world is not different from mind.mind is not different from heart.like this all story of universe  ends in heart.

 

13)as sun is to world so heart is to body.the mind which is sahasrara will like moon rays to world.

 

14)like sun gives  light to moon  heart gives spirit(chaithanya) to body.

 

15) when there no sun moon light is seen.in same way man not approaching  heart sees mind only

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Note: one who undergoes death is ‘marthya’.one who who doesnot know about heart himself is marthya.to indicate this that word is used.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

16)the ignorant   person won’t understandthat athma is source of all thejases.(light,brightness). He thinks the things of world   are different from him,knowing by mind he illuses.s

 

17)jnani who has got nearness of heart,like moon light uniting in sun during day,sees light of mind  hiding in light of heart.

 

18)word prajnana  is understood as mind  to outer view.but jnanies  know it’s real meaning is heart. There is no  higher thing( para vasthu) other  than heart.

 

19)than thing to be seen(drishya),seer(drusta) is diferent .this mind has come only from mind.to jnani residing in heart only both drik and drishya(thing to be seenand seer) are one and same only.

 

20)unconsciousness,sleep,overjoy, or sorrowor sorrow,fear  thoughts(vritthies)return to their source, heart.

Technique of controling mind:

1)high among those who know philosophy(thathvashasthra) ramana maharshi described   heart principles  as told previously. Afterwards he told  plan of controling mind.

 

2)those who are interested in sense oblects  will always be in  same worries(thoughts).by smell (predisposition, memory) to them it is difficult  win mind.

 

3)man his fickle mind(not firm) ,should take under control  by prana niridha.(prana contorl).on doing like this.if done so  like an animal tied by rope,mind becomes firm(moovmentless).

 

4)by prana rodhana(searching prana by mind)vritthi nirodha (control of vritthies) (control on thoughts). Occurs.one who has win over vritthies, stands in birth place of  vritthies(heart).

 

5)prana rodha means to search  prana(moovment of breath) by mind.if observed  contineously  kumbhaka is attained.

6) those who are not able to attain kumbhaka  by this method to them kumbhaka is taught by hatayoga method.

 

7) ‘rechaka’ one time(expiration),one time puraka(to take breath inside)    kumbhaka(to hold breath) should be done four times.if done so  nadies(pulses?) become  pure(shuddha).

 

8)when nadies become pure,prana comes  under  control.total control of prana itself is  called’shuddha kumbhaka’

 

9)jnanies ,tellrechaka as renunciation of feeling of  body itself is self,athma jijnase as puraka,kumbhaka is ‘natural state’.

 

10)even by chanting of manthras also  mind control is attained.then manthra becomes one with prana and  mind.s

 

11)when letters in manthras  unite with prana(breathing,inspiration and expiration) is called meditation(dhyana).when meditation becomes firm   natural state(sahaja  sthithi) is formed

 

12)  by company of mahathmas  who are athma jnanies, saathnikas, contineously ,mind will  unite with it’s origin(in athma).

Chapter seventh:

Athma topics(enquiry)-authority and it’s parts:

1)     High(supreme) conversation  between kaarshni born in bharadvaja  kula(community) and acharya ramana , is told in seventh chapter.

 

2)what is svarupa(self-form) of athma enquiry?what are it’s use?more than that  by other plans  is there any fruit?(result).

 

3)’I’ thought(vritthi)  is sum total of all thoughts.that thought ‘I’ birth place (origin,source)  is to be criticised(discussed).

 

4)    without  searching   birth place  of ’I’ thought(feel), study of scriptures telling about adhyathma (athma topic) is not athma enquiry only.when search of  origin of  aham thought(vritthi)  is carried out,ahamkara merges with it’s  source.s

 

5)if ego fully disappears which is in disguise of  athma,total in all aspects ,pure, true athma form only remains.  

 

6)to be releived by all kinds of sorrow  itself is use of athma(self) enquiry.

 Removal of all kinds of sorrows  is best result(fruit).  No higher fruit  than this.

 

7)wonderful other siddies can be got by other techniques(plans,practices).thogh they are got at end  by athma enquiry only  real happiness occurs.

 

Kaarshni  uvacha:

8)who is the authority (officer) considered   with   athma vichara(topic).for athma vichara  I am suitable(eligible) person,is it possible to know by oneself?

 

9+10)while doing athma vichara(enquiry)  in them above said  autority treasure(eligibility) should be there.(when ever a work is asked to be done  yhe eligibility is  authority.)he should be holy  either by upasana(worship) or  any other parh.ge will be having defect in body and sense objects.though mind has to moov  in sense objects to this officer(adhikari)  there will be no interest(taste) in those matters.he knows well  that body is temporary.

 

11)feeling that body is temporary and disinterest in sense objects by these two  signs,whether there is authority (eligibility) athma vichara(self –enquiry)  or not is known

 

12+13)one by virtue of disinterest in him,and by viveka also becomes authority

 To do athma vichara.baths,sandhyavandanas manthra chant, yajnas(sacrifices)studies of vedas,god worship,,chanting (recital) of  holy names of god(bhajan),piligrimage,yajnas and yagas,performace of  donation and vrathas excetra  performed by such a person are of any use to him?or their performance to such  authority(adhikari,officer),to that authority  waste of time?s

 

Bhagavan:

14)When desires (ragas) are decreasingand to authority  who in beginning stage of self enquiry all these karmas produce more chitthashuddhi(purification of mind).

 

15)good works done by  mind,speech and body,will destroy  bad works done by  ming speech and body.

 

16)all sathvika karmas done  by  authorities   with pure  mind,matured, do help to world.

 

17)scholars  with matured  intellect,to advice to others  by their example,for favour(welfare) of world  performing suitable karmas,.not with fear of exceeding rules told in  scriptures.

 

18)result  not added with difference intellect,,with friendship(company) and  doership,done sathkarmas    renunciation of  doership to athma vichara won’t obsrtuct.

 

19)by person with matured mind though suitable karmas are not done ,it does not produce sin to him.because athma thinking  is more punyaful than all other karmas and supreme holy also.

 

20)in authorities(officers)  with matured intellect and athma thought two kinds of performance are seen.if they leave karmas,that renunciation  is with purpose of uniting with  brahma in loneliness.if suitable  karmas are performed,that is meant for other’s favour.this   should be known.

 

21)is there any other path   than athma enquiry  for attainment of liberation?

If there is is it only path or are there any other paths.you who are  bhagavath svarupa  should inform.

 

22)bhagavan

One tries to get some thing.another wants to get athma only.among these though atension of first one is long,at end he also joins athma.

 

23)one who meditates his mind gets concentration..concentration of mind  makes us  to stand  in athma svarupa.

 

24)meditater,though he does not want,will have athma sincirity(athmaniste).opposite to this athma enquirer  gets athma sincirity  by knowing(knowledge) only.

 

25)who meditates upon some god,manthra,,or higher matter at end merges with great light called athma.

 

26)like this one who meditates and athma enquierer goal is sme only.among these twoif one gets peace by meditation, another becomes peaceful by  knowledge only.

Inthu ramana maharshies dsciple vasista muni ganapathi writen brahma vidya,yogavidya, teaching  in ramanageetha  seventh chapter‘athma-enquiery-authority And it’s parts’ completed.

5)one who has pure knowledge is sanyasa (sanyasi).to wear safron,removal of hair is not sanyasa.for avoidance of  obstucles that may  got in brahma vichara(brahma knowledge) this ashrama is arranged.(in other ashramas there may be obstucles  due to other duties.but in sanyasa brahma vichara(brahma enquiry) itself is  duty.)

Nineth chapter:

Granthi bheda(removal of relation)

1)    August 14 day night,dubtful even for scholars,’granthi bheda’(removal of relation) about this I enquired  ramana mharshi.

 

2)very much bright,bhagavath form ramana maharshi heard my words.later thinking for some time told in his own divine method.

 

3)the relation between body and athma  is called ‘granthi’.(gland?).by that relation to athma  body related jnana appears.

 

4)body is jada(nonmooving).athma is spirit form.(chaithanya form).relation between is guessed by  intellect.

 

5)child!from pure chaithanya spread everywhere covered body becomes active.in sleep,unconsciousness no sense(consciousness)(of world).then existance of athma  can be guessed.

 

6)like delicate power (not seen by eye)through seeable(visible)  wires flows,in same way jnana light in body flows nadi.

 

7)as sun enlights whole world,bright jnama light,through a centre enlightens  whole body.

 

8)by spread of that light experiences are  produced in body.that enligting cantre only yogies call ‘heart’.

 

9)by play of  powers of nadi ,flood of  jnana light is guessed. All powers of body depending upon related special nadies works.

 

10)special nadi in which  chaithnya flows is called ‘sushumna’.the same nadi is also called ‘athma nadi’,’paranaadi’ and ‘amruthanaadi.’

 

11)whole body is occupied  by chaithanya light.therefore only jiva having pride in  body,body itself ia athma,whole world is different from me  he thinks.s

 

12)one who is viveki( person with ability to decide good and bad right and wrong) affection,thinking body as athma,leaving these  if self enquiry is done about athma all naadies of body will be churned.(purified).

 

13)in this way  by  churning naadies self (athma) gets seperated from naadies.he depending upon  amrutha naadi only  shines.

 

14)having bright light,chaithanya light,when enters in athma naadi only,except athma,nothing is shown.

 

15)all things which are in front of him jnani does not understand separate existance   from athma.as body appears   clearly to non scholar(ignorant)

Jnani knows athma.

 

16)to ignorant  as body  appears clearly,to whom inside ,outside  and everywhere athma  only shines   he is called ‘bhinnagranthi’.(one who has detached  relation of body and  athma.)

 

17) granthi(relation) will be of two kinds.a bundle of naadi is called  is granthi. Mental affection  is ome more.even if seer(looker) is delicate he through naadi bandha(bondage)  realises gross world.

 

18)chaithnya light returning from all naadies,when depend on only one naadi  the relation between  chethana and body detaches  and chaithanya  light takes athma feel.

 

19)red heated ‘iron ball ‘appears like  fire ball only.in same way  to athma  jnani

 Heated   in fire of   athma enquiry(athma vichara) this whole world appears as athmamaya (athmaful).

 

20)body and mind excetra related previous smells(samskaras,predispositions)

 Then get destroyed.as there is no bodyintellect(feel) then’I am doer’feel also he will not get.

 

21)  as he has no feeling of I am doer,all his karmas will get burnt   it is said.for such person  as there are no other things as there is only athma  vasthu(material)he will have no doubt.

 

22)like this once granthi(relation between  body and self) is detached such a person will never have   become bound (samsari) forever.that itself is much poerful and  supreme peaceful  state it is known. 

 

Inthu ramana maharshi’s  desciple vasista ganapathi muni writen brahmavidya,yogavidya, informing  in ramana geetha ‘granthibheda’(seperation of relations) named nineth  chapter  is completed.

Eleventh chapter:

Similarity of jnana and siddhies:

1+2)I approached guruvarya on 16th night.high among munies,knowing parabrahma,great  mystic in human form.such ramana   ,for jnana  which  can’t be got inspite of difficulty,by geting ,praised to become blessed.

 

3)very high athma sincirity,pure intellect,are presentonly in us.as sea is repository of all water,you are source to all knowledge.

 

4)when you    are  seveteen only  have atained high success.not got even by yogies,you have athma jnana(self knowledge.

 

5)seen by our eyes(coming to experience), all feels by your vision of knowledgehave become merely shadows.such your condition who can describe?

 

6)drowned in family,wandering here and there,to people having desire of crossing very big sorow,you only are  better residence.

 

7)o brahma form!through god given,I  see  you brahma nista( brahma sinciere) human form  subrahmanya in step and  step.

 

8)lord!wheather in swami malai,,in kshanika parvatha( mountain)(thirutthani),venkata hill (thirupathi),you are not there.really you reside in arunachala.

 

9)lord!previously  to narada who treated you as your desciple,advicing secret bhumavidya(universal whloe) are you only.

 

10)those who know vedas tell you are  brahmarshi sanathkumara,those who know agamas tell you are god of gods subrahmnya.

 

11)these are all different name only ,not separate individuals.sanathkumara  skanda are equivalent words to you.(diferent words giving same meaning)s

 

12)lord! You in past  you taking birth as  kumarila  brahmin,you have   reestablished dharma told in vedas.

 

13)god form!in dravida desha(land)  when jains produced  illusion about dharma(religion) ,you incarnating as  established devotion path.(bhakthi  marga).

 

14)mahathma!satisfied only by  mere scripture knowledge to avoid obstacle to  brahmajnana by scholars   you have come to this earth.

 

15)lord! Many doubts of your desciples  were solved by you.by kindness solve this my doubt.

 

16)high muni!wheather jnana  and siddhies  are they mutually opposite or in between them is there any relation.

 

17)like this asked by me through shlokas(stanzas)  bhagavan ramana,saw   me  with serious vision and told like this to me.

 

 

18)one who is standing in natural state,(sahaja sthithi),by his nature onlyperforms penance  which can’t be exceled(exceeded).in natural state there is nothing like  laziness.

 

19)without self trial produced natural athma sincirity  itself is durdharsha (un exceedable) penance.by such penance contineously done ,mayurity happens in each moment.

 

20)by such maturity in due course divine jnani  ma get  siddhies may occur.if orarabdha karma is like that only even jnani also moov with such siddhies.s

 

21)for one who is muni,world does not look  diferent from  athma svarupa(self form).for jnani  even performed  miracles also are not different fromathma svarupa.

 

22)in case if   prarabdha karmas  like that (to moov with pavadas,(miracles )

,though jnani  though having   all powers,like an ocean without  disturbance of waves,,will keep quiet without doing anything.

 

23)such a jnani standing in natural state will not go in search of aything..all powers end in athma’s natural state.

 

24)penance  without   effort  itself is ‘natural state’(sahajasthithi).in this natural state by maturity  various kinds of powers are formed. 

 

25)one who stands in athmasvarupa(self-form),though sorrouned by many,performs wonderful penance.he does not have need of  loneliness.

 

26)those who think jnana(knowledge) is powerless does not know anything.because  added with all powers,complete by all means knows his real form(svarupa).

Chapter twelth:

Power topic(matter):

1)    On 19th date   serious minded,high among scholars,born in  bharadwaja gothra family kapali,on thirsday questioned  guru  ramana.

 

Kapali:

2)bhagavan(god)!in transactions of this world (loukika) to both jnani (knower)and ignorant three factors appear in common we observe.these facts are      vishayi(knower), vishaya  (object  to be known),vritthi(knowledge of thing).

 

3)when reality is like this,by which special character  jnani is higher than ignorant? Sir(lord),I request you to solve my doubt.

bhagavan

4)to whom (knower)  his athma form also, one only to him  vishaya(object to be known) and knowledge(jnana) both also athma form only(self form) only.

 

5)to whom ,by his affection  to be known(object ,person) appears diferent,to him object and  knowledge  appear different.

 

6) in reality no difference,,looking different only in appearance, in all objects jnani sees nondifferentiation(uniqueness) only.but ignorant under control of  diference of appearance, in himself who is knower seea athma diferentiation.

 

7)kapali

Lord!in whom thriputi appears as different his svarupa is powerful or becomes powerless?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Note:jnana(knowledge),jneya object to be known, jnathru(knower) are all  three put together  called ‘thriputi’.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Bhagavan

Child!thriputi(knowledge,knower, object to be known.)  added diferentiation when appears, that form is all powerful tell those who know vedantha.

 

Kapali:

9)Lord!people knowing vedantha   telling in eshwara’s  power is there any moment or not?

 

bhagavan

10) by moovment of  eshwara only whole world is produced but  residence(ashraya) to that moovment , sadvasthu (existing thing) won’t moov.s

 

11)sadvasthu(athma,ultimate reality) won’t moov.depending upon  non mooving sadvasthu,power(shakthi) mooves. This moovment of shakthi is  cause of world.scholars   call this only as maya which is anirvaachya,anirvachaneeya,indescribable)(anirvachaneeya means can’t be told difinitely).

 

12)this moovment  to knower(jnathru)  appears to be true. High human!really this moovment  is not seen in athma(self).

 

13)the difference between  eshwara and shakthi is apparent only not real.to appear like that  dvaitha vision  is cause.if this dvaitha vision ends shiva and shakthi  both become one.

 

14)kapali

Worshipable, this action(karma,kriye) of eshwara  is it eternal?or temporal?please kindly inform me.

 

bhagavan

15)Though eshwara mooves by his  supreme power,really he is immovable only.this supreme  secret is known only by munies.

 

16)moovment is  kriya(action).action itself is shakthi(power).supreme purusha by his power created what ever  we see.

 

17)pravrutthi and nivrutthi  are two kinds of transactions.”for one who knows  all these are athma only.”this vedic sentence  directs (indicates) nivrutthi transaction.

 

18)like this ‘sarvam(all)’ word  indicates principles of  vision of dvaitha.’abhuth’ (became)indicates  a  kind of of action(kriye). 

 

19)in vedas(shruthi)  while  telling “all these are athma only”,as it is atressed  ‘athma only’,all kinds of things  all kinds of things merge in athma only.this  fact is told.

 

20) high human!without shakthi our form is not knowable.to shakthi(power) ‘vyapara’ and ‘ashraya’ are two names.

 

21)to creation,maintainance and destruction all these is called vyapara(transaction).ashraya is not different from athma svarupa(form).this is told by scholars.

 

22) svarupa(self form) itself has become all. It is not dependent on other (thing).vrutthi is action form,svarupa is   ashraya form.who considers both  these as shakthi(power) he only knows.s

 

23) if  vritthi(kriye) is not there sadvasthu(parabrahma) would not have become

Various kinds.if sadvasthu were (brahma)  were different shakthi,there would have been no action.

 

24)in case if total desrtuction(pralaya)  happens to this world,vyapara uniting with svarupa as thogh becomes merged.

 

25)without power(shakthji)creation  added with  thriputi(jnathru,jneya,jnana),no action of creation,knowledge will not take place.

 

26)beyond all, delicate power is called by two names1) svarupa is ashraya

2) creation excetra activity,is called vyapara (transaction).

 

27)high human!one who tells  to shakthi moovment itself is character,they  should tell better on thing as residence to shakthi.

 

28) better among better and one only that  thing few scholars  call as power,few call as svarupa  chaithanya(spirit),again few scholars   as brahma ,again same  thing other scholars call  purusha.

 

29)to grasp truth there are two paths. Lakshana(feature) and  becoming thing.it (truth) is identified by  specialities. And by ‘sath’ form  directly experienced.

 

30)therefore that sath svarupa(form) vyapara(transaction,kriye), and vasthuthaha( directly experiencing as it is) are known by two paths.through character in it  grasping is ‘thatastha’(indirect form) ,to grasping  by experiencing  as it is is   also called ‘saakshath’(direct grasping)

 

31)sath svarupais called ashraya,vyapara(transaction,action) is  called lakshana.

Through action(kriya)  knowing kriyaashraya(residence 0f action,have to reside in that ashraya only.

 

32) sath svarupa  will be with  lahshana(guna,character). And lakshana will be  with  svarupa.the relation  those two will be nondiferentitiaion(abheda). 

 

33)sath svarupa, is known by   thatashtha lakshana, vyapara form  (action) gunas(charecters) .therefore it(sath)will have action(vypara) always.

 

34)when seen in principle,action is not different from matter form.but all known differentiation is (that is different this is different knowledge) by our imagination only.

 

35)Creation which is called play(leela) of power,is imaginatory.when even that imagination is crossed  only matter form(vasthu svarupa) remains.

 

Inthu(like this) ramana maharshi’s desciple vasista ganapathi muni writen,brahmavidya yogavidya informing  ramanageetha’power matter’ named twelth chapter is completed.

Chapter thirteenth:

To female and male  equal authority in sanyasa:

 

1+2+3)to those who belong to athri family,(athreyas)like moon light,contineously knowing brahma mahadeva’s mother,,ideal wife,who has undertaken service of world,,praised by gods,who has taken practice  of  ‘srividya’,to those in south of vindhya mountain guru of thara vidya vishalakshi,is friend of  my penance,wife also.

 

4) clean (pure) bodied,through me,asked two questions to ramana maharshi who is  thinker of world favour.

 

5)to females who are athma sincere,if  obstacles come across in house is there chance  to take up sanyasa by leaving house  in scriptures.

1+2)1917th year august 21st day night,born in shiva family prajna,speaker bharadvaja vydarbha questioned ramana maharshi.maharshi  answered  to be heard by all.

 

3)to scriptures and world related feels without being fickled(disturbed)  to stand in ‘nijasvarupa’(real form)   itself is jeevanmukthi.(liberation while living).

 

4)in  prajnana(atheendriya jnana) as there is no differentiation,liberation is of only one kind.one who gets liberated while in body (living) he is called jeevanmuktha.

 

5)to experience of jeevanmuktha and   as told in scriptures,reaching brahmaloka

And then geting liberated there,there is no diference in experience.

 

6)to experience  of one who gets liberated after reaching brahmaloka  and to experience of jeevanmuktha(liberated while living), no diference.in same way ,which mahathma’s  pranas  merge with  brahma at end his experience is alsp same.

 

7)to all athma niste(athma sincirity  is produced in same way.similarly,relief from family bondage  also happens to all in same way.liberation is of only one kind.there is no diference between jeevanmukthi and kramamukthi.it is present in other’s intellect.

 

8)high human!with athma sincirity getting liberated in this body only(jeevanmuktha) mahathma’s prana also merge with athma here only.

 

9 )few special jeevanmukthas,by maturity of their penance,though their shape is seen,they  become not possible to touch.

 

10)when penance of jeevanmukthas still matures,even outer  shape may also get diappeared.being in pure chaithanya(athma,spirit) svarupa such siddhas moov according to their own will.s

 

High among humans!

11)these both siddhies ,by grace of god may be got in very short time.

 

12)due to diference in siddhies,no diference in mukthi.wheather there is body or bodyless,,one who stands in athma firmly is  only muktha(liberated).

 

13)who going through sushumna naadi in archiradi path(path told by vedanthas to one who gets  kramamukthi(step wise liberation))gets better world,he gets liberated by knowledge produced there only..

 

14)to one who gets heart maturity well,to worshiping yogi by grace of god,through sushumna naadi better  fate(gathi,liberation) is attained.

 

15)such person mooves everywhere in all worlds.he by virtue of his determination  gets many bodies.he hah got power of blessing others.s

 

16)few scholars tell kylasa as worrld of liberateds.,few tell vykunta  and still few people  tell sunsystem(surya mandala) as world of liberateds.

 

17)hey scholar!like  earth excetra worlds,worlds of these liberateds also(kylasa,vykunta,and sun ray) by wonderful powerare all imaginated  in sadrupa(athma).

 Chapter fifteen:

Description of shravana,manana,nidhidhyasana:

1)lord!high in community of munies!  What is meaning of shravana,manana, nidhidhyasana?

 

2)supreme among knowers of brahma ramana,being asked by me like thison 1917,august22nd, told like this in front of desciples.

 

3)to hear meaning of upanishath sentences,with explanation given acharya(guru) is called  shravana,few peoples tell.

 

4)brahma(athma,self) knowing acharya describing athmasvarupa(self form),hearing from his talk only is called shravana,few pepole tell.

 

5+6)hearing to vedantha sentences or acharyas experienced talks or without these two produced by good work(punya,sukrutha)  have to give  response to call of heart.heart itsel is source(origin) of  ‘I’ thought.it is not body or mind.to respond to  this  type  of  call  of heart itself is real ‘shravana’.(hearing,listening)

 

7)to think of meaning of scriptures itself is called ‘manana’few peoples tell.but thinking of athma svarupa(self-form)  itself is real manana.(repetition).

 

8)without doubts orillusions,union of athma and brahma to decide by intellect is nididhyasana.

 

9)though union of brahma and athma  is known without doubt  and illusions

As told in scriptures that itself is not athmanubhuthi(athma experience).

 

10)vasista! Doubts and illusuions are   not  removed  by studying hundreds  of scriptures unless cleared by athma anubhuthi(athma experience).

 

11)scriptures remove doubts and illusions of  those who have  faith(interest,sincirity) only.if there is defect in shraddha( interest,sincirity) both of them(doubts and illusions) will reappear.

 

12)vasista!by self experience(athmanubhuthi,athmanubhava) only those two’s(doubt and illusions) source eradication will be there.so to stand in athma svarupa itself is called ‘nididhyasana’.

 

13)child!without athma sincirity,if mind is mooving in outer world,though hundreds of books(texts) are studied, there may be   no athma’s direct knowledge(experience) .

 

14)hey,koundinya family born,! Without our trial,to stand in athma’s real form(svarupa) is  natural that itself is liberation.that itself is better stage(state).that is called realisation.

 

Like this ramana maharshi’s desciple vasista ganapathi muni writen,brahmavidya,yogavidya informing in ramanageetha’shravana,manana,nididhyasana’ chapter fifteen completed.

 Sixteenth chapter:

Devotion  topic(matter):

1)Later high among men ,mahathma bhagavan ramana maharshi,being questioned   about   devption told like this.

 

2)athma  is very dearer matter.no other is as dearer is athma.regarding athma contineous love like oil flow(thyla dhaare)  is called devotion.

 

3)athmajnani knows god is not different from him.,devotee though knows that he is diferent  from  god(paramathma)(dvaitha feel) will be merged in athma only.

 

4)love of devotee,like oil flow when flows towards god contineously,though devotee has no desire  that devotion  carries him towards athma svarupa(form).

 

5+6)devotee knows that  he is diferent  god,less knowledgeble.for removal of difficulties  worships paramathma  who is omnipresent  with divine intellect.

Still,at end gets what he worships.

 

7) high among humans!

Devotee imagines name and form  to god he woorships.through them only he crosses all names and forms.

(parabrahma in original form  is nameless and shapeless.names  and forms(rupa) are attributed by us in parabrahma.leavinf them to think of only brahma  is to cross names and forms.experiencing  vishnu.shiva excetra  names and forms,we will cross world’s  atributed(aropithavada) names and forms.

 

8)after total completion of devotion(about sadrupa(sath+rupa) even if heard once also it is enough.then devotion will be able to give  complete jnana.

 

9)like oil flow(fall?) contineous devotion  is called divided(piece,vichchinna) devotion.this divided devotion is cause of parabhakthi(supreme devotion,high)

.this is decision of scholars.

 

10)for sake fulfilment of desiredevotee worships paramathma.though that desire is fulfiled  he will not have satisfaction.then he worships   god again for eternal(nithya) joy.

 

11)devotion which is done for sake of  fulfilment of some desire,even after fulfilment of desire continues.in makes devotion to increase  in god still more.

 

13)like this devotion developed,gradually with time  becoming complete(jnani),as he crosses family(samsara) ,devotee also by total devotion crosses family.s
