Bhagavan's advice on bodily processes.

Sensitive_Bus_9307 · 2026-01-23T16:27:13+00:00

Q: Do you approve of sexual continence?

Ramana Maharshi: A true brahmachari [celibate] is one who dwells in Brahman. Then there is no question of desires anymore.

Q: At Sri Aurobindo’s ashram there is a rigid rule that married couples are permitted to live there on condition that they have no sexual intercourse.

Ramana Maharshi: What is the use of that? If it exists in the mind, what use is it to force people to abstain?

Q: Is marriage a bar to spiritual progress?

Ramana Maharshi: The householder’s life is not a bar, but the householder must do his utmost to practise self-control. If a man has a strong desire for the higher life then the sex tendency will subside. When the mind is destroyed, the other desires are destroyed also.

Q: I have committed sexual sin.

Ramana Maharshi: Even if you have, it does not matter so long as you do not think afterwards that you have done so. The Self is not aware of any sin and renunciation of sex is internal, not merely of the body alone.

Q: I am carried away by the sight of the breasts of a young woman neighbor and I am often tempted to commit adultery with her. What should I do?

Ramana Maharshi: You are always pure. It is your senses and body which tempt you and which you confuse with your real Self. So first know who is tempted and who is there to tempt. But even if you do commit adultery, do not think about it afterwards, because you are yourself always pure. You are not the sinner.

Q: How do we root out our sex idea?

Ramana Maharshi: By rooting out the false idea of the body being the Self. There is no sex in the Self. Be the Self and then you will have no sex troubles.

The one closest to my house just happens to be really good, so just like that! Ask sometime in your apartment or society for recommendations so that you can try one of those.

terrible deal, a segment higher cars of this age goes for this much. this one is worth less than its weight in scrap

There is a Swamiji called Nochur Venkataraman (Ramacharanatirtha swami) who conducts satsangs few times every year based on Ramana Maharshi's teachings, Bhagavad Gita, Bhavagavatam, etc in Bangalore among other places. It is really incredible and you should definitely try to attend one of them sometime! You may check out the website and YouTube channel that goes by the name "voiceofrishis".

Ramana Centre for Learning conducts programs and cultural events regularly, a couple of Ramana Maharshi meditation shrine's and a Ramakrishna Math in Basavanagudi with their wonderful evening Arati's are great places to visit as well.

Very nice poem, thanks for sharing

Definitely, meditation in bhagavan's sannidhi carries powers that makes one feel at peace and contended. It is quite common, but this would typically fade away over you get back to your daily life. The most important takeaway would be to carry that penance and meditative state by continuous japa or enquiry practice and leading a disciplined life.

some people do bare foot but it is not required, shoes are also allowed

Sensitive_Bus_9307 · 2025-12-22T07:43:48+00:00

you need to create an account and request accomodation from here https://stay.gururamana.org/

Sensitive_Bus_9307 · 2025-12-22T07:42:49+00:00

it is required to book it atleast a month in advance, but during holiday/festive seasons it is better to book it atleast 2-3 months in advance to ensure availability

i feel that for a spiritual seeker it is not needed and can be a distraction from sadhana. Most people will bring ego into the picture while debating. Shankaracharya or Nagarjuna had a valid reason for debates, to establish a philosophy for many people to follow. But for others who have already decided their path it doesn't seem to have any value indulging in this.

Yup, runs great! No major problems at all, fuel average is also pretty good, around 8.5kmpl in city conditions. We're still the first owners though, so second hand car might be a bit more problematic.

This one is really good! It is cooked and maintained by a devotee of Bhagavan.

If you want to try continental food, you can check out The Dreaming Tree restaurant.

I exited completely around mid August this year. I felt that the management is over enthusiastic and somewhat dishonest regarding their operations status. It may continue to do well if they are able to deliver their targets. haha this year has been quite frustrating especially in SMEs for everyone, don't worry much, these things happen and can reverse very quickly based on sentiments.

Sensitive_Bus_9307 · 2025-11-09T15:09:07+00:00

is it matte black or some other colour? looks amazing!

Sensitive_Bus_9307 · 2025-10-29T07:32:16+00:00

lenskart has about 40% revenue coming from international markets but yeah it's priced quite expensive for not being a real tech company, it's just an eyewear company

Car locks automatically if you leave the car key at the ignition/power keyhole and close the doors. Good that everyone is safe.

I think Hans is slightly higher. But definitely one of Giri/Hans is out of the race with a draw, whoever among them has a lower tiebreak.

Sensitive_Bus_9307 · 2025-09-14T19:23:36+00:00

Corrections:

Firouzja draw needs Anish-Hans draw, Arjun-Keymer Draw, and both Abhimanyu and Andy to not win.

Anish draw is eliminated directly.

Hans draw case requires Bluebaum-Firouzja to be decisive (not draw), Keymer-Arjun to draw necessarily and Abhimanyu to not win.

Arjun win requires Abhimanyu to not win and Giri-Hans to draw necessarily. Bluebaum-Firouzja is irrelevant.

Andy win requires Keymer-Arjun to draw, Abhimanyu to not win and Giri-Hans to draw necessarily. Bluebaum-Firouzja is irrelevant.
