Ma Devaki

Over the last years John David has invited Ma Devaki several times for Satsangs and an Interview for Blueprints for Awakening. Her heartfelt and profoundly devotional character has touched us deeply. We are happy to announce that the recordings have now been edited and are freely available on Youtube. We hope you find great inspiration in them!

Ma Devaki was in close personal service to Bhagwan Yogi Ramsuratkumar for 7 years from 1993 until His Mahasamadhi in February 2001. Ma Devaki has been serving and staying in the Tiruvannamalai Ashram ever since, continuing Her service for His Divine work.

New Book

Vichara – Self Enquiry, Who am I? 

The latest edition from the Aham Sphurana Series

Vichara offers a fresh and focused exploration of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi’s most profound teaching: Self-enquiry. It also provides an intimate glimpse into life at the Ramana Ashram in 1936, a period when Bhagavan’s teachings also began reaching Western seekers.

Following the success of the first volume, Aham Sphurana – A Glimpse of Self-Realisation, this second volume delves deeper into the practice of Self-enquiry, which Bhagavan described as the fastest and most direct path to Self-realisation. Through a careful selection of his teachings, Vichara reveals how Self-enquiry dissolves the ego, bringing the seeker face-to-face with their True Nature. This book stands out as an essential guide of timeless insights into Bhagavan’s most potent path to the Self, unlocking the transformative power of Self-enquiry.
