It is the most fortunate moments in my life to have listened to Ramana charitham in 47 episodes. I don't know whether one drop gnana will go inside, but I it will definitely make a change in my life in the days to come. No word to thank Nochurji and it is definitely bagavan's anugraham to us for having got into this. Pranams to Nochur Anna..
Koti namaskarams to Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharishi and Sri Ramanacharana Theertha Swami for this profound narration. Thank you so much for making this available online with such excellent audio quality and blessing us all with opportunity for shravanam. It was such a beautiful journey to listen to this sacred narration
மனித வாழ்வின் போஸ்ட் கிராஜுவேட் படிப்பு ( ஆத்ம ஞானம் உயர்ந்த நிலையான)முடிந்து பிஹெச்டீ படிக்க தயாரான ஆராய்ச்சி மாணவர்களாய் நாங்கள் மேலும் கேட்டு உள்ளத்தில் உணரவும் ஏங்குகிறோம். நன்றி ஸ்ரீ ரமண சரண தீர்த்த ஸ்வாமி ஸ்ரீ நொச்சூர் வெங்கட்ராமன் அண்ணா அவர்களுக்கு. நமஸ்காரம்.
How much should we all be blessed to have Nochur Swamy, whose narration gets us to being with Bhagavan himself and his teachings very very clearly. It is not just that, it is because of Nochur Swamy, the nectar drops of Bhagavan is getting into hear directly. Nochur Swamy is God's own blessing for all of us in disguise if not he, am not sure who else could have conveyed Bhagavan's teachings so eloquently. Not sure how others take, but in my opinion if Valmiki = Ramayana then Nochur = Ramana Charitram. 🙏🙏🙏 My sashtaanga Namaskarams to Nochur swamy and for the idea behind making this video and hosting it in You Tube. If this was just a Satsang for people in any halls, many of us like me in overseas would have missed to know the true purpose of our births. Thanks all once again 🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏
சொல்ல வார்த்தைகளே இல்லை...நெகிழ்ந்து போய் விட்டேன்...எவ்வளவு விஷயங்கள் எங்களை கரையேத்துவதற்கு... பகவானை உள்ளே ஆழ்ந்து தேடும் துப்பு இல்லா எனக்கு கருணை கூர்ந்து உங்கள் தொண்டை தண்ணீர் வற்ற ப்ரவசனம் பண்ணி தந்தமைக்கு நன்றி...பகவான் நீண்ட ஆயுள் ஆரோக்கியத்தோடு உங்களை வைக்க பிரார்த்திக்கிறேன்...
Excellent Aaraadhanai service to Maha Guru Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi by arguably the most devoted disciple. Sahasra Koti Dhanyavaadhangal for recording the history and Upadesam for the the posterity..

We are blessed.to hear Acharya Nochur's pravachanam about Bhagavan Ramana maharishi's divya charitham.We are longing to hear Acharya's pravachanam on Bhagvat Geetha,in tamil
🙏Kodi Kodi Namaskaram Swami for your 47 days satsangam. No word to express what an amazing job you are doing for man kind. It will be remembered forever 🙏
thank you so much. while listening to the pravachanam every day, beginning with this little girl singing so beautifully, i felt as though Bhagavan was physically present . koti koti namaskaram
This pravachanam series on Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi's upadesa has been blissful taking us through the journey of jnana marga,it came as panacea during the pandemic Humble pranaams to Nochur Anna 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Years back on a fine morning, we had the fortunate to attend Sri Nochur Anna's Pravachanam in the Vaani Mahaal Auditorium in T.Nagar, Chennai, just only with the first stanza of Sri Bhagawan's Ekaanma Panchakam, when he declared that this was perhaps the most essential gist of Sri Bhagawan's Upadesam. It is so providential that this came up most accidentally to Sri Anna's attention. The coincidence is simply divine. Namaskaram. Venkata Subramanian Jayaraman, Toronto, Canada
excellent 47 days of ramana charitham. gave the feeling of traveling with maharishi n staying in his blissful presence. almighty blessings be with nochur venkatrama Sharma for this great service to ramana's devotees. thanks a lot for premiering this live to enable people like us living far away to have the same feeling of those who heard it in person. thanks also for making it available in youtube channel to listen to it again n again to drink the blissful potion. vaazhga valamudan to all those involved in this great effort.
Swamy’s explanation about the difference between Buddha and Maharshi has deep significance. All that we know of Buddha is hearsay. In the case of Bhagavan all that we know is fact sheet 🙏
Om Namo Bhagavathe Ramanaya!! Feeling so blessed to listen to this series....Hearing from Nochur Swamy is a real blessing!! Pls do continue such live series!! No words to express my gratitude here!! Om Namo Bhagavathe Ramanaya!! Kindly share the name of this final Harathi Song
I have been listening to all your pravachanam. Thanks a lot. I am living near Washington D.C. now 80 plus. Family devoted to Bagawan. There is a song said to be written by Lakshmana Sharma and sung by all of us. Starting “Baja Bhagavantham Ramanam Kantham ………” “Mouna Vyakhya ….” ………….etc. Here it is mentioned “ Jeevo na Thwam”. Why he mentioned so can you explain to me. Once Shri (Bhagavath) Geetha Subbarao (of Hyderabad), during his visit to our house in 1970 said that on his first visit to Bagawan introduced himself as Subbarao M.A., thereupon Bagawan remarked Master of Avidhya. This shattered his ego.( Subbarao was blind and devoted for propagation of Bhagawath Geetha.) an incident I wanted to share.
Re -sharing, Request Sri Nochur Sri Venkataraman ji please to explain: Why is enquiry suggested ? Our thoughts flow in a linear fashion ..as long as this flow is constant , the ego or I thought is bound to these train of thoughts . This binding of ego with our thought current should be broken . For this abstract questioning method is retorted to , When abstract questions are introduced ( which are also thoughts) into our thought current .. The linear flow of thoughts are broken . How are this linear flow of thoughts broken?. When an abstract question is introduced, our memory bank is searched for answers, when answers are not found .. The train of thoughts is broken and the I thought not having any thought to cling on , experiences silence ( very briefly) , as JK and UG say thought is noise, when thoughts are absent there is silence., When the, " Who am I " question is introduced , if you begin with the premise , " I dont know" , memory does not supply the answer and the I thought seeks the answer , and having no answer it becomes blank free from memory thoughts. But for some memory supplies answers like .." Iam Indian female short or Iam the eternal transcendental Brahman enveloping the whole of creation including me " , to avoid the I thought from getting trapped in such answers again. Another abstract line of question is introduced by Ramana . This is Ramana s masterstroke different from classical advaitic enquiry . From where in the body is the " I thought " arising from ? Our memory bank appears as if attacked by a stun grenade , it is stunned by this follow up enquiry and cannot supply answer thoughts. The " I thought " briefly breaks free from this chain of linear thinking. The break in linear thinking is very brief, that's why enquiry is suggested as a day long process , to increase the frequency of breaks in linear thinking. Why should we introduce this break in linear thinking ? For what joy are we doing such an useless exercise ? This is actually a wonderful hack that Ramana has given us , one can do this as a fun exercise , even during their boring mundane daily routine . This is the hack...The " I thought " is a cling on..though we claim we are independent, we are not , the ego or I thought is a dependent entity . It is constantly fed by thoughts from memory . When this feeding of thoughts is cut off through the process of enquiry .The " I thought " becomes alone or independent. But the " I thought " cannot remain alone it is a dependent entity , by the force of vasanas it goes forward and attaches itself to memory. But if through enquiry this cutting of " I thought " with memory is continued , the force of vasanas is reduced . The " I thought " remains alone and has no power to move forward and attach to memory, but it cannot remain alone . So it recoils and goes back to the source and attaches to the source .. The I thought is the salt doll and the source is the sea water.. When I thought attaches itself to the source it just vanishes leaving only the source as the sole operator. These are the two wonderful hacks given by Ramana. 1) In classical advaiata enquiry one may end up with the answer to Who am I ? and remain with linear thinking ..But with Ramana s follow up enquiry .." From which point in the body does this I thought come from" , ensures that linear thinking is broken . 2) Our only task is to ensure that the I thought is broken free from linear thinking..That's all one has to do . By it's very nature when this I thought is cut off from linear thinking permanently . It recoils , actually it recoils violently and merges with the source Summing up: Enquiry is not meant to get answers or get experiences...It is meant to cut off the I I thought from memory thoughts and thereby making it to go back and abide in the source ; as the source.

I have been listening to all your pravachanam. Thanks a lot. I am living near Washington D.C. now 80 plus. Family devoted to Bagawan. There is a song said to be written by Lakshmana Sharma and sung by all of us. Starting “Baja Bhagavantham Ramanam Kantham ………” “Mouna Vyakhya ….” ………….etc. Here it is mentioned “ Jeevo na Thwam”. Why he mentioned so can you explain to me.
Once Shri (Bhagavath) Geetha Subbarao (of Hyderabad), during his visit to our house in 1970 said that on his first visit to Bagawan introduced himself as Subbarao M.A., thereupon Bagawan remarked Master of Avidhya. This shattered his ego.( Subbarao was blind and devoted for propagation of Bhagawath Geetha.) an incident I wanted to share.
Re -sharing, Request Sri Nochur Sri Venkataraman ji please to explain: Why is enquiry suggested ?
Our thoughts flow in a linear fashion ..as long as this flow is constant , the ego or I thought is bound to these train of thoughts .
This binding of ego with our thought current should be broken .
For this abstract questioning method is retorted to , When abstract questions are introduced ( which are also thoughts) into our thought current ..
The linear flow of thoughts are broken .
How are this linear flow of thoughts broken?.
When an abstract question is introduced, our memory bank is searched for answers, when answers are not found ..
The train of thoughts is broken and the I thought not having any thought to cling on , experiences silence ( very briefly) , as JK and UG say thought is noise, when thoughts are absent there is silence.,
When the, " Who am I " question is introduced , if you begin with the premise , " I dont know" , memory does not supply the answer and the I thought seeks the answer , and having no answer it becomes blank free from memory thoughts.
But for some memory supplies answers like .." Iam Indian female short or Iam the eternal transcendental Brahman enveloping the whole of creation including me " , to avoid the I thought from getting trapped in such answers again.
Another abstract line of question is introduced by Ramana .
This is Ramana s masterstroke different from classical advaitic enquiry .
From where in the body is the " I thought " arising from ?
Our memory bank appears as if attacked by a stun grenade , it is stunned by this follow up enquiry and cannot supply answer thoughts.
The " I thought " briefly breaks free from this chain of linear thinking.
The break in linear thinking is very brief, that's why enquiry is suggested as a day long process , to increase the frequency of breaks in linear thinking.
Why should we introduce this break in linear thinking ? For what joy are we doing such an useless exercise ?
This is actually a wonderful hack that Ramana has given us , one can do this as a fun exercise , even during their boring mundane daily routine .
This is the hack...The " I thought " is a cling on..though we claim we are independent, we are not , the ego or I thought is a dependent entity .
It is constantly fed by thoughts from memory .
When this feeding of thoughts is cut off through the process of enquiry .The " I thought " becomes alone or independent.
But the " I thought " cannot remain alone it is a dependent entity , by the force of vasanas it goes forward and attaches itself to memory.
But if through enquiry this cutting of " I thought " with memory is continued , the force of vasanas is reduced .
The " I thought " remains alone and has no power to move forward and attach to memory, but it cannot remain alone .
So it recoils and goes back to the source and attaches to the source ..
The I thought is the salt doll and the source is the sea water..
When I thought attaches itself to the source it just vanishes leaving only the source as the sole operator.
These are the two wonderful hacks given by Ramana.
1) In classical advaiata enquiry one may end up with the answer to Who am I ? and remain with linear thinking ..But with Ramana s follow up enquiry .." From which point in the body does this I thought come from" , ensures that linear thinking is broken .
2) Our only task is to ensure that the I thought is broken free from linear thinking..That's all one has to do .
By it's very nature when this I thought is cut off from linear thinking permanently .
It recoils , actually it recoils violently and merges with the source
Summing up: Enquiry is not meant to get answers or get experiences...It is meant to cut off the I I thought from memory thoughts and thereby making it to go back and abide in the source ; as the source.
