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.)

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)

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

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.

brahma. Kindly solve my doubt which is produced in my mind.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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

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

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

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
9)removing
all types of ajnana,athma jnana,after
getting once,by ajnana which may take birth due to desires(raaga,love) is there any
possibility that jnana may disappear?

high(ujjivisabeku).manthra possess seed letters(beejaaksharas).only those who

giving ideal brahmaniste.(to vedantha,tharka(logic,yukthi) Is useless abd dark
as scholars have told).
21)sri

shiva form only.they will have all powers of gracing which we pray

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.)

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

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

Answer

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

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.

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.

eighth:
Ashrama

question asked by karshni,described duties of four ashramas.s
2)wheather brahmacharihouse holder,vanaprastha,or
sanyasi,female(woman),
Or shudra

heart are fit for brahma
vichara(knowledge).
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Four
ashramas in hindu society brahmacharya,grihastha,vanaprastha, and sanyasa
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
3)as steps
are rised one by oneto join brahma ashramas are used.but to those who have
maturity of heart there is no need of
steps of ashramas.(such people can do brahma vichara in ashrama in which they
exist.
4)then order
of ashramas why they are told?for the ease of world business to take place ashrama systems
are told.it is to be known.duties of first three ashramas
are not opposite to jnana.
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.)
6)in
brahmacharya ashrama(celibacy) by vratha and fasting,by knowledge(knowledge
through guru),by development of knowledge to whom there is more power such
person will shine well in future life.
7)by pure
brahmacharya,in house holder dharma

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.

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.

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.

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
