Advaita Ashrama
- The essence of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every soul is that Being in full, not a part of that Being. All the sun is reflected in each dew-drop. Appearing in time, space and causality, this Being is man, as we know him, but behind all appearance is the one Reality. Unselfishness is the denial of the lower or apparent self. We have to free ourselves from this miserable dream that we are these bodies. We must know the truth, "I am He". We are not drops to fall into the ocean and be lost; each one is the whole, infinite ocean, and will know it when released from the fetters of illusion. Infinity cannot be divided, the "One without a second" can have no second, all is that One. The Vedanta says that the Soul is in its nature Existence absolute, Knowledge absolute, Bliss absolute.
Therefore in Advaita philosophy, the whole universe is all one in the Self which is called Brahman. That Self when it appears behind the universe is called God. The same Self when it appears behind this little universe, the body, is the soul. This very soul, therefore, is the Self in man. There is only one Purusha, the Brahman of the Vedanta; God and man, analysed, are one in It. The universe is you yourself, the unbroken you; you are throughout the universe. "In all hands you work, through all mouths you eat, through all nostrils you breathe, through all minds you think." The whole universe is you; the universe is your body; you are the universe both formed and unformed. You are the soul of the universe and its body also. You are God, you are the angels, you are man, you are animals, you are the plants, you are the minerals, you are everything; the manifestation of everything is you. Whatever exists is you. You are the Infinite. The Infinite cannot be divided. It can have no parts, for each part would be infinite, and then the part would be identical with the whole, which is absurd. Therefore the idea that you are Mr. So and so can never be true; it is a daydream. Know this and be free. This is the Advaita conclusion.

Advaita Vedanta
- The Advaita Vedanta Anusandhana Kendra (Advaita Vedanta Research Center) is dedicated to increasing knowledge of the tenets of Advaita Vedanta--a philosophy and religion based on the Vedas that teaches the non-duality of the individual soul and God--as expressed by its foremost exponent Shankaracharya and the unbroken succession of teachers descended from him.

Arunachala
- Throughout the history of mankind spiritual giants have appeared on very rare occasions to exemplify the Highest Truth. Guiding followers by their conduct in every moment of their lives; Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi was such a giant. Unique in our time, He perfectly embodied the ultimate truth of Self-realisation, or complete absorption in the Supreme Itself.
Those who set out upon this quest are fulfilling the true purpose of life itself. This is not an easy path to follow, but be assured that every step taken in pursuit of Self-realisation, accumulates merit that is carried from birth to birth, until that final step is accomplished. This is the testimony of the Sages and doubt should never be allowed to detract you from your course.
Welcome to arunachala-ramana.org, a non-profit website created for the benefit of those interested in Advaita and the paths to Self-realisation. This site is the direct replacement for the now closed ramana-maharshi.org, Please do not forget to change your bookmarks.
This free website is my dedication to Arunachala and the great saints and sages who were attracted by it thoughout the ages, including that of my own guru, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. It has no connection with anyone who has taken the name of 'Arunachala Ramana'. Visitors to this site are invited to add their own news and comment pages, however, personal promotion will not be permitted under any circumstances.
Content:
This site contains lots of information to help you in your search for the highest truth as exemplified by the great Sages of history. There are publications, photos and video clips, the best of the Upanishads, news items and articles, accommodation information for those wanting to visit Arunachala, general information pages, plus a lot of information that is not hosted on other sites.
There is also some useful content freely available elsewhere, but any material having the sole copyright of others is duly acknowledged with links to the source.

Beezone
- The Beezone website is my way speaking about the times in which we live and of honoring the Teachings, the Teacher and the Person of Adi Da Samraj. I am not a formal student of Adidam (the formal church of the Way of Adi Da) . The Beezone website is in no way formally connected to that institution. The Beezone (and myself) are known to Adidam but not formally acknowledged.
The genesis of Beezone came from a term Adi Da Samraj uses in his teachings called the Beehive. He equates the function of the Guru to the way bees organize themselves, the hive is the center and the other bees serve the hive. Since I am not of the 'hive' but in the zone of it's influence I chose the term Beezone to represent my relationship to Adidam and Adi Da Samraj.
I intend to use this website to communicate the wisdom of Adi Da and other Great Realizers and Yogis.

Chinmaya
- To provide to individuals, from any background, the wisdom of Vedanta and the practical means for spiritual growth and happiness, enabling them to become positive contributors to the society. The genesis of the Chinmaya Movement was a 100-day Upanishad lecture series conducted by Swami Chinmayananda in Pune, India in December 1951 with eighteen people in the audience on the first day. The Mission was formally founded in 1953 by Gurudev's devotees to give organizational structure and cohesiveness to the work and activities being initiated by him. They formed the nucleus of a movement of spiritual renaissance that now encompasses a wide range of spiritual, educational and charitable activities, ennobling the lives of thousands in India and abroad.
Chinmaya Mission is a dynamic organization, involved in a large number of activities in order to fulfill Swami Chinmayananda's vision:
Spreading the Knowledge of Vedanta
Vedanta is the core of Hindu philosophy. In fact, it is a universal science of life, a science which is relevant to all people everywhere, whatever their faith. Chinmaya Mission's stated mission is, "to provide to individuals, from any background, the wisdom of Vedanta and the practical means for spiritual growth and happiness, enabling them to become positive contributors to society". The army of dedicated workers that now forms the Chinmaya Mission worldwide is testimony to Gurudev's conviction that as you begin your own inner transformation, you transform the lives of all those around you. The Mission accomplishes this goal through various activities, Vedanta institutes, temples, publications division and the Chinmaya International Foundation.

David Godman
- David Godman was born in Stoke-on-Trent, England, in 1953. While he was attending Oxford University in the early 70s he found himself being attracted to the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. In 1976 he traveled to India, intending to make a brief visit to Ramana Maharshi's ashram. He is still there twenty-six years later. After a period of intense meditation that lasted almost two years (1976-8) he started and ran the ashram's library, leaving it in 1985 to devote himself to writing and research. He has now published eleven books on Ramana Maharshi, his teachings and his direct disciples.

Dvaita
- These websites are the products of the efforts of a very small group of individuals who collaborate in the development of online resources on a strictly voluntary basis. Our resources are only concerned with Tattvavāda (Dvaita), the dualist Vedanta revived by Madhva (1238-1317 CE). It will be necessary to look elsewhere for information about Yoga, Advaita, or other subjects.
These websites are intended to be resources for the serious and the scholarly, and are regarded as being very undeveloped still. As such, we discourage any notion that our sites can serve any large-scale purpose or be used in place of conventional means of learning. Do not look upon our sites as one-stop sources for easy enlightenment. (In fact, we suggest you not look for any such instant gratification, at least not where learning is concerned; note that it would be considered absurd to seek instant knowledge of subjects like chemistry or mathematics through a website—Vedanta is no less intense a subject.)
These sites do not carry advertisements, charge fees, or collect donations, so they generate no revenue whatsoever.
There are certain other kinds of features that our websites could conceivably offer, which we choose not to as a matter of policy. These include matrimonials, personals, and solicitations for funds (even for putative worthy causes), etc. Other resources can be availed of for such ends, and these websites are not meant to be all things to all people—it is our opinion that our work should be strictly confined to the spiritual and academic realms.

Gitananda
- Gitananda is a spiritual non-profit dedicated to the international presentation of the PATH OF LOVE through Eternal, Absolute spiritual principles universally applicable to humanity and to be achieved through personal interviews and spiritual guidance.
Gitananda seeks to empower everyone everywhere with the knowledge and experience of their own Divinity. The foundation stresses the practical application of the Bhagavad Gita's teachings as well as those of Mirabai. It also encourages individuals to practice the Universal Principals of Truth in their own home, making it a temple and bringing harmony, discipline, devotion, knowledge and love to each family that makes up society.
Gitananda encourages spiritual aspirants to abide by:
Spiritual Law
Spiritual Light
Spiritual Love
Spiritual Life!
Gitananda maintains that finding the Divine within takes self-effort, spiritual study, sincerity and humility. While we may disagree with the outward mechanical rites and social superstitions that have ruined the sanctity of religion and hampered the growth of the spirit of religion, the fundamental principles of religion -- namely a deepening awareness of the Divine and compassion for humanity -- are never superseded. Rather we are repeatedly reminded of these spiritual laws through divine incarnations such as Mirabai, Buddha, Shri Krishna, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Mahavir, Mohammed, Nanak, Kabir, Narsi Mehta, and Shri Ramakrishna.

Goddess Traditions in India and Tibet
- There is one thing you need to know before you start.
There are many Goddesses. There is one Goddess.
This site is an exploration into the nature of the Goddess. It started as a class, a seminar at Vassar College, "Goddess Traditions in India and Tibet," taught by E. H. Jarow. You can see the sources we used in the class. It evolved into an exploration of what each member of the class saw as the Goddess, and her many manifestations. As our final project we decided, instead of writing a paper that would simply sit in Professor Jarow's drawer gathering dust, to write a web page on the subject. Each of us added our own contributions to this page. This website is the work of fifteen very different individuals, and we hope that our own unique insights may add to ideas on the goddess.

Hindu
- Welcome, whoever you are, to our little place in cyberspace.
This is an ethnographic exhibition, telling the story of Hinduism. The central idea is to offer you a glimpse of the deep and fundamental thoughts of Hinduism; the philosophy that there is no division between past, present, future, heaven, cosmos and human beings.
To illustrate this issue we use different media like film, sound, pictures and articles. All together they tell a story of daily life in the South of India. And this is the point; www.hindu.dk is not telling the only story about India. It is telling one story, our story.
Most of the material has been collected by Lars Kjaerholm, an
anthropologist who for more than 30 years has studied and analysed South India. We have supplied his material with a number of articles written by Lars Kjaerholm, as well as some written by Kenneth G. Zysk, Heinz Werner Wessler and Kirsten Seeberg.
This project is a cooperation between Moesgaard Museum and Aarhus University.

Hinduism for Schools
- Hinduism has a great deal to offer to the West. Its inherent pluralistic teachings offer the best resolution to the question of how people of different religions can co-exist peacefully in a multi-faith society. Its contemporary interpretation of spirituality makes religious teachings relevant and exciting for the modern youth. The family values promoted in Hinduism offers the crucial cohesive force needed in modern society. The reconciliation between the truth claims of a science oriented worldview and a religiously oriented worldview is essential in this century. Vivekananda centre invokes the findings at the cutting edge of modern sciences to bring about this reconciliation.
