Sri Ramana Maharshi Self-Realization Retreat

August 31 - September 2, 2012 - Friday morning through Sunday afternoon

The date of September 1^st is when Sri Ramana Maharshi arrived at Arunachala, steadily abiding in and as the Self, where he would henceforth reveal the highest Nondual Truth with teachings of Self-Knowledge, showing the primary means of the path of Knowledge – Self-inquiry. This retreat, which includes the celebration of that holy day, focuses on the Maharshi’s teachings contained within Atma Vidya, Ekatma Pancakam, and other short texts, with spiritual instruction about these teachings, and much time for silent meditation. This retreat is an immersion in the fusion of Knowledge and devotion.

The Self, which shines as Sun within the Heart,
Is real and all-pervading, ‘Twill reveal
Itself as soon as false thought is destroyed
And not one speck remains. For this thought is
The Cause of the appearance of false forms,
The body and the world, which seem to be
Real things in spite of Self, which steadfast stands.
The ever-changeless, firm as Truth itself.
When Self shines forth darkness will be dispersed,
Affliction cease and Bliss alone remain.
