The Indian sage Ramana Maharshi (1879- 1950) is perhaps the most
widely known Indian spiritual figure of the last century, second
only to Gandhi. This new book offers a fresh introduction to the
Maharshi's life and teachings, intending to situate him within the
non-dualistic traditions of Hinduism. It also delves into themes
and questions particularly relevant to the spiritual crisis and
search for meaning that have characterised, in various ways, both
the modern and postmodern outlooks. While the Maharshi's background
and frames of reference were traditional, the spiritual resonance
of his teachings in today's world must also be recognised. The
sage's message lies at the intersection of the contemporary search
for Self-knowledge, and today's critical reflections on the
foundations and limits of religion. Thus, the book comprises seven
chapters that touch upon such central issues as the role of
religion in Self-inquiry; the relationship between devotion and
knowledge; the role and limitations of traditional forms; and the
implications in our postmodern era of both the Maharshi's emphasis
on surrender, and his basic question: 'Who am I?' Published in
collaboration with GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Center for International
and Regional Studies, School of Foreign Service in Qatar.
