Notes and Pointers on 'Who Am I?': Inquiring 'self-identity' Puzzle!

Can the ‘in’ and ‘out’ ways of a labyrinth (‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’) be easily explained? Spiritually, our deluding, puzzling ‘self-identity’ (Ego) is exactly like that! Stepping directly ‘within’, with courage, conviction and uncompromising tenacity IS only the way! A burning quest (‘Jnana Agni’) as the driving energy is most essential. Every loss in actuality is a gain!

‘Letting go’ of all known self-identity notions is pristine spiritual rebirth! Before physical death, one should attain REBIRTH! (Twice-born/‘Dwijah’). This is the full human potential.

Cocoon has to transform into a butterfly! The one facing the labyrinth cannot see it from above. Hence, the puzzle and difficulty to figure out the way.

It is the same regarding the existence too! The ability to have a birds-eye-view of the complexity of human existence is possible for a ‘Drishta’ (Seer).

‘Who Am I?’ the quest leads surely to this Clarity (‘Darshan’)!

The front cover is inspired by the above explained concept

P. Ramakrishnan or Ramu as he was fondly called by near and dear ones, was an author, poet and a spiritualist. He was born in 1948 in Tamil Nadu. A good debater and a thinker, he began his career in advertising and marketing. Though a workaholic, his spiritual quest brought him in the presence of realized master, Swami Atmanishthanand Saraswatijee. This association transformed him completely.

At the peak of his career, he retired and dedicated his life to the inner quest, and while on this journey many of his musings and ruminations arose in the form of ‘poems and writings’. Anyone who came in contact with him even in his last days received a lot of positive energy and went back with a lot of clarity and peace within. After leaving him too they experienced being energized.

He was a person full of cheer who accepted life as it came. Notes and Pointers on ‘Who Am I?’ Inquiring ‘self-identity’ puzzle! is his last book; he completed it just two months before he passed away.
