Gabriele Ebert: Nisargadatta Maharaj, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Nisargadatta (1897-1981) was a well-known advaitic sage of India. He lived with his family in Bombay and owned a cigarette shop. After meeting his guru Siddharameshwar Maharaj, he realised the Self by devoting himself to the "I Am," as his teacher taught him. After that, many seekers visited him. With Maurice Frydman's book "I Am That", he also became known in the West.

Not many biographical details are known about his early life, as Nisargadatta rarely spoke of it. What is known has been summarised in this biography.

The book also provides an introduction to his teachings, which are similar in content to those of Ramana Maharshi. However, his way of teaching differed significantly, as he challenged his disciples in dialogue to bring them closer to his experience.
