Description
Some eight centuries ago Sage Mukundraj wrote a spiritual classic titled Paramaamrita in Marathi. It was a rare gem. Its 323 pithy verses, written in the traditional Ovi format, were direct pointers to Reality. In fact, towards the end of his work, the confident Sage avers that "the one who has accepted and practiced what has been said herein will return to his true Being." However, for reasons best known to Existence, Paramaamrita remained almost unknown except to a few ardent seekers familiar with Marathi. We owe an immense debt of gratitude to Ramesh Balsekar for making this lucid English translation available to a wider audience.
About the author
Rameshji, a teacher of pure Advaita, or non-duality, is an unearthly blend of the utterly human and utterly divine manifesting as a brilliant spiritual Master. His crystal-clear and profound teachings are backed by his complete understanding that "Nobody does anything" coupled with his life experience as a top executive of a major Indian bank, as a husband, father and grandfather - all lived knowing that it is all happening as God's Will. For much of his full life Ramesh, whose Guru was Nisargadatta Maharaj, has been devoted to Ramana Maharshi, in whose spirit Ramesh welcomes seekers and asks "Who is seeking? Leave the seeking to Him who started the seeking."
