Thanks for such a lucid explanation of Advaita. Michael we are blessed to listen to the word by word explanation of the gems of Bhagawan.🙏🌹

Wonderful. Michel James' comprehension of the nuances of Sri Bhagavan's teachings and of pure Advaita (They are one and the same thing) is perfect. His answers to the questions of seekers illustrate his keen insight. Certainly, all this is Sri Bhagavan's infinite grace.

Thank you Micheal, lots of love to you and all sangat.

Many Tamilians cant learn Tamil here I see someone reading Tamil focused in highest of philosophies and spiritual literature. I see Bhakti and jnana combined in Michael James.. Namaskarams to you Sir. Ramana lives through Bhaktas and Jnanis like you.

Michael 🎉 transmitted so clearly straight to the source. Follow the path he has given leads directly to self. Bhagavan is smiling from the heart.

1:32:00 = "what is surrender ?"

I suspect the authenticity of the so called original hand written manuscript of prose Naan yaar?,which was produced in the mountain path. Because that hand written manuscript seems holding lot of spelling mistakes, and those mistakes were stricken later as correction. It was not few spelling mistakes,probably there is very few lines with out spelling corrections. How ir hsppened to Bhagavans own handwritten?.If it was originally written by Bhagavan,the question arises is,any body think he was unable to write a prose with out mistakes?. The last paragraph and first paragraph were contradictory in nature. So why this suspicious arises.

With all regards for Michael James, he has got it wrong as to why sri Sankara had to 'accommodate' 'Non advaitic' 'teachings'...sorry sir...Advaita is not in conflict with any 'school' of Vedanta...All the sages including Bhagavan knew its place and need for people at various stages in their spiritual journey...Why did Bhagavan install a Sri Chakra at his mother's samadhi?...Why should he say 'Appavukku Pillai Adakkam'(the Son is subserviant to the father) when he accepted the prasadam of Lord Arunachaleswara (Vibhuti) ?...Likewise all sages have recognized and accepted 'upasana' as very relevant and indispensable for aspirants...Upasana is all about channelizing attitudes and giving it an inward turn without which no self enquiry is possible....so,sri sankara and his tradition admits and encourages all forms of upasana that will lead the aspirant to self enquiry or Atma Nishta...it is not with a view to establish 'his school of thought' over other schools of thought...and none of the Siddhantas are 'schools of thought' as it is wrongly translated and interpreted...Every Acharya including Madhwacharya ,Ramanujacharya were only interested in spiritual upliftment of people and intellectual debates they may have had is only subserviant to this purpose...and all are respected as such and not as one superior or inferior to others....To sum up as to how each siddhanta of Dvaita ,Visishtadvaita and advaita have their place and relevance, an excerpt from 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna' : "Once Rama asked Hanuman, 'How do you look on Me?' And Hanuman replied: 'O Rama, as long as I have the feeling of "I", I see that Thou art the whole and I am a part; Thou art the Master and I am Thy servant. But when, O Rama, I have the knowledge of Truth, then I realize that Thou art I and I am Thou.'"The relationship of master and servant is the proper one. Since this 'I' must remain, let the rascal be God's servant"....this is how the Sages despite their advaitic Anubhuti still compose Hymns (Like Akshara Mana Malai,Manikkavachagar's Tiruvachakam or Sri Sankara's innumerable Hymns or Sadasiva Brahmendra's wonderful Kirtanas)...For those who would like to have a correct perspective and relevance of the Advaitic Tradition ,warmly recommend Nochur Sri Venkatraman's fully rounded and grounded talks ...Many of them are available in 'Sri Ramanasramam' youtube channel and elsewhere...With all respects to Michael James ,his years spent under Sri Sadhu Om and his knowledge of Tamizh ,many of the subtleties may elude him having not been rooted in the vast literature and tradition of Sanatana Dharma...It will be best for him to confine his subject matter to what he knows best and has learnt firsthand and not bring in speculations about Sri Sankara and other Acharyas.
