Thanks for all the complimentary comments. I enjoyed the session. Apologies if the physical quality of the recording wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.
Extraordinary! I discovered Ramana Maharshi through David in the lockdown in spring last year and his videos and books helped me enormously. Now only a few hours ago another lockdown was announced, I look at TH-cam on my pad and there’s a new video with David. Extraordinary and thank you David!
i am guessing you are from the uk aswell then? your lucky ognet you have discovered bhagwan ramana, it was in your destiny. i reccomend listening to samanera jay... be as you are. on youtube. i find meditating to his spoken words accelerate the effect of his teachings. whatever he says is true ... follow his pointings and that joy and bliss will arise... i contest to it
Actually, I live in the present hell on Earth...the US. Papaji, Bhagavan, David Godman, among others, have shattered my imaginary protective shell of the "self." David found me floating, without roots, and, thus, self-awareness. Love is not a word expansive enough to encompass the infinite.
Thanks a lot David Godman. Always a pleasure to hear the stories of Bhagavan from you. It takes me to those days where Bhagavan lived in physical form in ashram and can feel like I'm there in ashram seeing Bhagavan. Always a pleasure. Look forward to your answers for other questions as well. 🙏
David, I have tremendous respect for you. You are responsible for helping me become focused on my practice again. And when I am struggling I always watch one of your videos. You have touched my life in a very positive way. The way you explain the teaching of the master is like being there in person. I can't thank you enough. I have a goal of meeting you one day. I don't have a lot of time left, but I will do it. God bless you and keep your safe.
David I love your stories. My memory is so fresh meeting you at the Ashram. I was beaming when you told me ‘here comes another devotee 🤗. I was my blessing touching your feet. What a privilege. 🙏
So.....So !!!❣️❣️❣️ Beautiful I am deeply gratful to have the opportunity to listen to this video full of So much wisdom and practical advice,, I loved the story of all the leaves in the tamarind tree falling!!! I cannot think of a better illustration to explain when. The devotee merges with his true Self !! 🙏🏻
Thank you David. You are the clearest and most powerful exponent of Bhagavan's teachings that I have ever encountered. Your words have entered my consciousness, carrying those teachings, serving as a portal into something that cannot be contained in even in Bhagavan's words. I started watching this video in a state of distress about a variety of things, feeling distracted and disconnected; but Silence came through your words and I thank you from the quiet place that has opened up. I look forward to watching your pre-recorded Satsang that was just posted yesterday. I hope I will have the opportunity to meet you in person some day, after many years of e-mails back and forth. Many blessings for good health and peace this New Year and ever after.
So happy to see that David’s Q & A has been published on TH-cam, as I missed the original broadcast due to the time difference. It’s always very helpful to hear from sincere and long-term devotees of Bhagavan, who can sift the wheat from the chaff so to speak and point to the essence of Bhagavan’s teachings, as well as speak from their own experience as to what is essential in the practice. Lovely stories also which I haven’t heard before. Thanking you David from the heart and wishing you a very blessed, healthy and happy New Year. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much David... You have the most beautiful and clear way of explaining Ramana’s Life and words. I can’t imagine where I’d be without “Be as You Are” and all that followed... Your books have helped So Much the last few decades.🙏🕉🦚
Thank you, David, for all your books and videos. They have been immensely helpful. I'd rather listen to you than many of the 'sadgurus' today. Although Bhagavan says that our bodily actions are destined and that the only choice we have is to stop identifying with the body and mind, I always wonder if our exercising that choice is also predetermined?
Dear David Uncle, Many thanks for the video no words to describe .... Either you are an enlightened soul or in the process for sure . I feel Bagavan is speaking through you. Small suggestion is that such a precious upadesam is on and off disturbed by poor audio.
Heartfelt immense gratitude for this Q&A - wish it never ended... it would indeed be a very great blessing if you could request Mr. David Godman to answer more of your ‘3 page questionnaire’ and share with us Namaskaram
Anand, the new president of Ramanasramam, listened to a precorded talk I gave that addressed some of the questions on this list and encouraged me to film my response to all of them He promised to put the recorded session on the ashram site. It's called 'Q A (prerecorded) with David Godman' on TH-cam.
Namaskaram Sir. Feel overwhelmed with gratitude. The video uploaded in the Ramanashram channel is the second one that has been uploaded in this site also. If you have recorded some more responses to the questions - if you could share them too, it would be GREAT as always to know about Bhagavan, His teachings , anecdotes relating to His Adiyargal from you.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
David, you have been in my heart every day for months! I was donating to your Advaita Foundation in Colorado and attempted to contact you there, but apparently you've relocated. Plz let us know how to contact you. Thank you so much for all you do❤️❤️❤️
If the you contact the Avadhuta Foundation again and ask for your email to be forwarded to me, I am sure they will oblige. I don't want to post it here as it would be a spam magnet.
For those people in the comment section who are asking for more talks, I made a recorded session in case my internet connection was too poor for the live Q&A. The recorded session has also been uploaded: th-cam.com/video/Uu3uqiXZ--g/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ArunachalaAshrama. And about a month ago I did a Zoom Q&A with devotees in New Delhi while I was in a quarantine hotel in Perth. I had to do two weeks of isolation there before I was allowed out. That has also been posted. My portion starts at around 26 minutes in. I am guessing that few people here have seen it since it currently has less than 100 views: th-cam.com/video/6mVPtaw8CC4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=RamanaKendraDelhi
Apologies for the poor sound. I was in a remote area and this was the only place I could find that had a decent connection (and the requisite quiet background) for the talk.
Horrible audio! I know: a true Jnani is not interested in whether his listeners understand him well. It is simply about bhakti towards the wind, the trees and one's own ego!

Here comes DG..with another opium dose..Thnks a ton..
A real pity that the sound is so distorted. The wisdom is superb however. Such a joy to learn from David Godman.
Apologies for the poor sound. I was in a remote area and this was the only place I could find that had a decent connection (and the requisite quiet background) for the talk.

🔵 Lost teachings of Original Buddhism & its Metaphysics Part 1
watched on youtube this morning this guy translates from ancient Pali ...
Horrible audio! I know: a true Jnani is not interested in whether his listeners understand him well. It is simply about bhakti towards the wind, the trees and one's own ego!
