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.

Western Spiritual Masters
The idea for Blueprints for Awakening – Indian Masters came to me in 1993 while living with my Master, Papaji, when I felt compelled to film the great Indian Masters before they were to leave their bodies.
After moving to Europe, a retreat at Arunachala led me to also interview Western Masters, resulting in two distinct projects.
European Masters – Blueprints for Awakening is for those seeking their True Nature, guided by Sri Ramana’s teaching to ‘Be As You Are.’
Over five years, I asked twelve questions to fourteen European Masters, providing a platform for them to share their unique blueprints. Even though the questions are linked to Sri Ramana’s teachings, each Master’s journey is unique.
I express deep gratitude to my Masters, Sri Ramana and Papaji, whose guidance inspired this work.
Seven of the fourteen Interviews have now finally been edited and are available to watch for free.
I hope the interviews help to reveal the timeless truth within all of us and support the awakening of humanity.

Distilled Teachings
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.
