Synopsis

Selfless Self is a book of hard-hitting talks with the Advaitin Master, Ramakant Maharaj, long-standing direct disciple of Nisargadatta Maharaj. Spontaneous, direct knowledge (non-intellectual), vibrates within every page. Alan Jacobs, President of Ramana Maharshi Foundation, UK, says: "This is a marvellous, outstanding book that will help many of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj's followers and others. I have no doubt about Sri Ramakant Maharaj being a Jnani, (Self-Realized Master)". Spiritual Advaita teacher, Timothy Conway, of California, says: "The teachings of Sri Ramakant Maharaj bear the stamp of complete authenticity and the power to awaken aspirants to innate awareness". These talks are fresh, groundbreaking, radical and absolute: "There is no past, no future, no present. You are unborn. So whose 'present', whose 'now'? You are like sky, beyond limit. You are everywhere". Selfless Self is your very own portable Guru. A must-have for searchers of wholeness and oneness.

About the Author:

Ann Shaw's search began in the late 1960's and has continued throughout her life. At university in the UK, she studied Theology, Philosophy and Comparative Religion, Sanskrit, and specialized in Indian Philosophy and Religion. Over the decades, she practised meditation, Self-enquiry, contemplation and went on solitary retreats. She immersed herself in a wide variety of spiritual literature from east and west. This included the mystics, teachers and masters such as St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, Thomas Merton, Søren Kierkegaard, Patanjali, Ramana Maharshi, Paramahansa Yogananda, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Joel Goldsmith, Lao Tzu and Taoism, Rumi and Sufism, D. T. Suzuki and Zen, et al. Further on down the 'illusory' road, the teachings of Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj and Shri Siddharameshwar Maharaj brought the search to an end. When she eventually visited Nisargadatta's disciple, Shri Ramakant Maharaj, she knew for certain, that she had reached the destination! A background in publishing and writing in various genres also prepared her for the task of compiling Selfless Self. The 'Spontaneous Direct Knowledge' flowing from Shri Ramakant Maharaj coupled with diligence and understanding on the part of the editor, have together produced a power-packed, spiritual classic. In her own words: "I was completely absorbed in the unfolding of this book and was guided throughout by both the living Master, Shri Ramakant Maharaj, and by (my) Inner Master - 'Selfless Self'. "This is an instruction manual through which the Master guides, pushes, and draws the reader towards Spontaneous Self-Realization. Selfless Self: Talks with Shri Ramakant Maharaj is the highest knowledgedelivered in plain, simple language. These pragmatic teachings are aided by a methodical presentation to enable the fullest absorption of Ultimate Truth".
