Sri Bhagavan Ramana

  Sri Bhagavan composed Ulladu Narpadu, and in accordance with it he thereby revealed to us not only the nature of reality but also the means by which we can attain direct experience of it. As he revealed, the only reality —ulladu or ‘that which is’— is our own essential self, and the only means by which we can experience it directly is just to ‘be as it is’ by turning our attention away from all otherness or duality towards our own essential thought-free self-conscious being, ‘I am’.
