- In August 2018 I was interviewed on my roof by Jussi Penttinen, a Finnish devotee who in recent times has been responsible for collating and uploading the subtitles that appear in many different languages on my TH-cam channel. Jussi filmed his questions separately while he was standing on the Arunachala pradakshina road. During the talks he was accompanied by his friend Jukka Korhonen who filmed the replies and later edited the films. Thanks to both of them.
There is a chapter about Mastan in 'The Power of the Presence', part three: davidgodman.org...
Lakshmana Swamy's story is told in 'The Power of the Presence', part two: davidgodman.org...
It also appears in more detail in 'No Mind - I am the Self': davidgodman.org....
I gave a longer talk on Lakshmana Swamy's life here: • Talks on Sri Ramana Ma...

Thank you for these. I was in my car and lost my job and in that moment potentially my family. The question arose what happens when all this goes. The inner voice of silence emerged. I had not practiced anything for years and am a Muslim. I went home and strangely was guided to these videos. I cannot tell you how much these altered my life. I watch these and am able to access the silence. The mind just drops. The silence does not go away. Increases and decreases in intensity every day but these videos help me get back into it. My life has since changed.
There are hardly very few Muslims of your type who practice spirituality. Most follow dogmatic religious practices
@@austin426512 I hope to find a realized teacher one day. I also love Islam. Perhaps one day I will be worthy of a teacher.
To LS.
I need to be present to you who are compassion of the Self.
It is only in you and through you that anything is accomplished.
The spiritual path is in and through your white light.
I have been slain in the night.
I am waiting for the voice of your silence to give me life.
I do not know who or what I am. Your attention is a miracle. Your glance
of consciousness gives life to a speck of dust and annihilates it in the splendor of a sun.
My efforts have all failed me and it is only when my heart turns to you
that you meet me in the core of silence.
I do not want wisdom, but only want to place myself in heart of your silence.
Please do not leave me or my son, daughter, wife.
My failure is your success. Everything I do and all my strivings are in vain.
Until you breathe your silent life into them. They unfold as well and give up their vain struggles.
I want to be still so you can focus me in your effortless attention.
In the way you would like so you are the sole security upon which my self is sacrificed on the alter of
your attention.
You say that I only need to abide as the self. But this is beyond my feeble state of mind.
I want to abide in you and for you and not betray you.
Thank you LS for your compassion.
Wow! You struck gold.
Awesome.
How are you doing a year later?
@@vita4017 Ha. Walking on Bay Street this morning close to where I work - the draft of a revolving door. Feeling enwrapped in silence and emptiness all of a sudden. Nothing much more I need or want. I am still the same old ego - nothing to lose. The ego is endless!
My life is on the path and so much is due to your logical and clearly stated lessons. I am an 85 year old female who is happily living a self-fulfilled life even though I must continually stay alert and practice. I am happy doing my best.
The extra beauty of Arunachala rising behind David. It's all breathtaking. Thank you for these videos.
Listening to these stories from Godman gives me more emotions and peace of mind than reading most books. Thank you Gods man!
These stories are so nourishing to thine own soul. Thank you God. Use me. Be me. I surrender my will to yours tonight. I love you.
honestly, thank you so much. please don't take these down David. they mean a lot to many people.
They were accidentally made public a week ago before I had had a chance to process them properly. They will not be taken down again.
@@David_Godman thank you sir. hope all is well with you.
@@David_Godman Dear David any chance I can speak to you over phone please? manavtainuk@gmail.com
@@David_Godman David THANKS SO MUCH! I cant Thank you enough.
как же прекрасно рассказывает Дэвид Годмен
You have put these small anectdotes and insights together so well. They are priceless insights into the life of Ramana Maharshi and those who lived with him... Thank you so much for your efforts. -- And thank you Jussi Penttinen, and Jukka Korhonen for helping to film and present these talks.
Thank you for writing exactly what I've been searching to say❤️. Hard to find adequate words of gratitude to David and all others contributing to these excellent videos.
Thank you David for speaking so simply and honestly.
Nothing but gratitude. Thank you for sharing these stories with us.
super grateful to hear new talks from David!
Kiitos Jussi.
Muito obrigado! Brasil na escuta!🇧🇷 thanks!🤗🙏
Огромное спасибо за русские субтитры!!!!
смотреть эти видео - счастье
You always come up with right topics jussi, ❤️❤️❤️
How lucky are we ?!??!! Om Namo Bagavate Sri Ramanaya!!
Thanks David. Inspiring stories well told as usual.
Děkuji za české titulky:)
Thank you David 🙏
I got enlightened today at 6:33 am
Well done.
Thank you David so much
Thank you, Mr. Godman !
Thank you David !
One has to journey through many life times to reach a stage where they actually can realize the SELF....
Thanks David.
Thank you 🙏
There is a Jnani like Ramana Mahsrshi. Who lives in such an exalted state.
You forgot Robert Adams - Gunpowder incarnate!
We remember. He was anything but.
Thanks Davidji!
Thank you very much David.
arunachala peak appears serenely behind you
🙏Thank you for such wonderful sharing of Bhagwans messages and his devotees.Does the stay in Tiruvannamalai make any difference in sadhu a .
Your voice,expression and style of speaking reminds me of guthrie govan 🙏🏻
An interesting aside is that Lakshmana Swamy did not accept that Papaji was realized. Ramanashram also feel the same.
Interestingly, during my morning self enquiry practice today I went deeper than I’ve ever been and the thought “no mind, I am the self” arose from the empty space. This thought brought me here. Is there any information on why or how the book was titled?
🙏🌹🌹

Any experience the body experiences - Even seeing you are everything - What would be the point ?
Imp-Person-all-Awareness
It has to create trauma in order for the imaging system to remember as the person pictured as a body via a contracted sense of energy in the body - IE: Only a void or negative felling can be appeased - Parasitic eye strap from chest to head occupied by a superimposed phantom or ego which can't be seen due to looking from it -This fantasist action figure in the head is the dreamer - It is written to by King Duo David Morphic TV's shadow cast it mimics and pays attention to - It is the orchestration of the Trinity via silent thought which talks to the phantom via subtlety supplanted ideas pulled by polarised and myopic outlook - And being a projector system and a myriad, phenomena can be seen which is not actually happening
A qualium wave function, also know as rock of offence or Shiva Lingam creates particles before they are seen - A supposed phantom sits in the head and is talked to via a para-site in the body via silent thought - This phantom uses the Trinity rendering the person concomitant to thought which is morphologically prescribed to behind the clock by King Duo David TV - Carbon ameliorates with water and amplifies physical pain and can't be seen due to looking from it. This over cloaked space suit thinking it is the body obscures the real according to spiritual books. But remove the shakti lamp too together with rod - Including any light that you are thus imagine -
The ego = We might be battling the unknown if they don’t - Once you know Father Christmas isn’t real, you can never get back to believing he’s real again ??? Not knowing what had happened would have been intolerable - I’m finding that there’s something else going on, nothing to do with reading a book ??? - It’s strange, it’s like it’s not in the words but maybe it wouldn’t be happening without the words ??? - It’s definitely not in the ideas and yet maybe it wouldn’t be happening without the ideas, maybe it would be, people go on silent retreats !!! And that’s the system itself - The things/objects are over (Cloak) emphasised and the awareness is under-played - (Thus awareness is not being conscious, it’s what we’re conscious of - To tell you your trapped by inferring that there is a you which could be free to think there’s a better way -
But there’s an ideation of an image called selfing - The mental state points to the after as being the before - (Language emphasis there is an us and uses the subjective experience to make an object of ideation IE: Your the all that’s been thinking about)
But there isn’t a self doing the selfing that implies there’s a self doing it - There’s a mechanical system doing: Thus is reinforcing the nouning that your not - Not. ‘Knot’
Mamma has died in the night - Looking from the bondage of self (As self) - Contracted energy or pseudo eye strap from chest to head over cloaked by a superimposed phantom which orchestrates the Trinity which actuates the body.
It may have a real importance to being wrong because it will be right about how wrong it believes you are, so your wondering why your messing things up because then it can be right about how wrong you are.
And as for the world:
I can’t afford enough time that I was sinking, because if this thing had been cleaned we’d be talking six figures.
We’re open all hours but will be closing soon because the moon is moving away from the earth and 2cm per day.
You won’t recognise where your here because you believe you can be somewhere else.
The black prince only makes sense because it is seen against a white background.
I’m not going to fuss to much about the inside but it’s looking better already.
It could have been different behind the clock.
It’s like trying to do a jigsaw when you haven’t got the picture on the box.
Demons aren’t what you were thinking.
If I wanted to go down I couldn’t because I’d already drank to much.
What’s your looking for ?
IE: Haven’t we been established, the sanity has replaced the insanity that preceded the first drink !
They found him last night, I can’t believe it, I thought he was gone forever.
If they take off in the fog they’ll never land it.
And if they try to they’ll crash.
You think you want freedom, but if you know what freedom means, you will run away from that.
The Matt and Satin finish is yet to be de-term-Inn’ed.
How far into this clock have ever been
I hadn’t had a drink since then.
The Susan Morphew Case, ‘Nothing is what it seems’

When i used to search the Swamy on here there used to come up a video of just his head like he's giving satsang. Then you see a big croud of people. Now if i search on here all i find is David Godman talking about the Swamy. This is an interesting metaphor the way technology and and algorithms blinds us from the authentic truth.
I thought I saved the clip of Laksmana (actual footage) anyone know where it is?
Hyvä jätkät! Nää on ihan parhaita koska Davidiltä on saatu nyt suorat lyhyet vastaukset hehe
Im the bana tree class🙄😔😂🤣
Mr.Godman ,sir, Is sri Lakshmana swami still alive? And where can I meet him? Please tell me...
No he passed last February. He resides in the self of all beings
@@hb3528 Could you give more details?
When was he born ...and place and day of death?
Where and how can we meet Lakshmana Swamy please?
Don't seek anything, The Little YOU are not the seeker, The DIVINE Seeker is hidden deep inside YOUR OWN SELF which is in the SPIRITUAL HEART, Who is Seeking YOU
Desire very less from this Materialistic world, be simple as simple as you can, work for Something in which the Little YOU don't need anything in return for.
This itself is SADHANA
Take care of your Family
Best Wishes
Is it possible to meet mr. David
Yes . he stays near Ramanashramam .
@@shreeharinair Many Tks Mr pillai
@Ruby Badilla Mr Ruby, Nothing specific. I am very much impressed at he has devoted his life to spread Bhagavan's teachings and obviously he also might have enlightened.
@Ruby Badilla Tks for the reply
Ruby, you can only say that's a fact if it is a fact for you. Would you say it is?
So is lakshmana swamy still with us?
Yes. He lives in tiruvannamalai
If he is still alive he will be 95 years old 25.Dec’2020.
@@golgipogo Where can I get more information on him, his residence etc?
Is lakshmana swamy alive
Sorry it's sadhana
Isn't the Realisation that there is no self? 🤔
There is a self, just no I.
@@johnmc3862 so what is the difference between self and I?
@@nadadenadax4903 self is one's true nature, it is limitless, and eternal.
"I" is ego, it is false nature, it arises from thinking, and incorrect belief that one is the body, the mind, or some other false identification.
@@michaelgusovsky yeah, I realized by now, what that thought based I is made of... 👌
Is LS still alive?
Not physically
@@hb3528You can’t be alive any other way. Unless you are changing the definition of the word.
Is Lakshmana Swamy still around?
No
Don't forget he wasn't the body so he's always around.
Off course he is still alive. He lives in tiruvannamalai
@@moesypittounikosif he wasn’t a body, he wasn’t a he.
Hyvä jätkät! Nää on ihan parhaita koska Davidistä on saatu nyt suorat lyhyet vastaukset hehe
