[Advaita-l] Rainbow Body

[Venkata sriram P]

Namaste,

For me, Bhagavan Ramana is saakshaat dakshinaamurti.  If one studies Dakshinamurti Stotra, Vivekachudamani, Atma Bodha, Drik-Drushya Viveka, then one can grasp the meanings of Bhagavan's teachings.  

The teachings of Bhagavan should be practised with proper vedaanta chintana.  It is not like you straight away pickup Upadesha Saaram, Ramana Gita, Sat Darshanam etc. and start practising !  This leads to confusion as many are into....by teaching 'Close your eyes..Do Nothing'.

rgs,
sriram

 Hi 
 Sriram/All,
 I follow the
 teachings of Sri Ramana and am curious to know if there are
 any accurate translations of this works in English. I do not
 know Tamil and hence have to resort to
 translations.
 If you
 are familiar with any accurate translations, Please do let
 me know.
 Thanks,Murali

 Good advice Jaldhar-ji....
 
 
 
 People are getting misled with pop books and the so-called
 english translations of half-baked scholars.  I met a
 follower of Ramana Maharishi
 
 who keeps on saying "Sit quietly...silently and do
 nothing".  The horrible and devastating translations
 for the word 'मौनं' and
 'मौनव्याख्या'.
 
 
 
 स्वयंप्रकाश यती writes as:
 
 
 
 मौनमेव
 वेदादिसकलशास्त्राणां
 व्याख्या, विशेषेण
 वस्तुयथात्मज्ञानं
 यया भवति तथा आख्यानं
 कथनं, प्रकाशनं
 व्याख्यानं शब्दार्थः
 । 
 
 सा व्याख्या मौनमेव ;
 मौनं नाम न तु
 पाषाणकाष्ठवदवस्यानं,
 अव्युत्पन्नसमधिगतं;
 किन्तु मुनेर्भावः ;
 मुनिः न अरण्यवासी,
 किन्तु मननशीलः ; 
 
 मननं ; युक्तिभिः
 अनुचिन्तनं ।
 युक्तयस्तु - "श्रुतिः
 प्रत्यक्षमैतिह्यं;
 अनुमानश्चतुष्टयं ;
 एतैरादित्यमण्डलं"
 इति हि श्रुतिः । 
 
 एतद्रूपाः
 आदित्यमण्डलं
 प्रत्यगात्मस्यरूपं,
 आभिः श्रुतिः
 प्रत्यक्षादिरूपाभिः
 युक्तिभिः, अन्वनु
 प्रतिक्षं
 असंभावनादिराहित्यै 
 
 क्रियमाणं परिशीलनं
 मननं - तदेव
 सकलशास्त्रव्याख्यानं
 भवति ॥
 
 
 
 Silence is not sitting quietly and staring at other's
 faces ! Occasionally these meditations have induced sleep
 and snoring among them who are
 
 meditating !
