Atma Sakshatkara - 'Witnessing of the Atman' - Ramana Maharshi - Advaita-Vedanta

- Atma Sakshatkara means “witnessing of the Atman” (i.e. self-realization), and is the name of a chapter within the jnana-pada (knowledge section) of the Sarvajnanottara Agama, an obscure Upagama (subsidiary Agama) text. The sublime non-dual teaching of this text is in the form of a dialogue between Siva and Guha (Kartikeya-Murugan), where Lord Siva is the supreme Guru, and Guha is the Disciple.
This text was discovered by Sri Ramana Maharshi, who translated the chapter entitled Atma Sakshatkara into Tamil sometime in the early 20th century, and also composed the introductory benediction verse. This English translation of that chapter is done by Dr. H. Ramamurthy.

Oh this is superb, sublime, soothing, I could go on forever trying to describe it's perfection & fail. This is Satsang of the highest quality. Thank you Jayasara for bringing so much joy into my life, for making these timeless texts so easily accessible to every One. Thank you little Bodhisattva! 😇🌈🙏
A old (style) lonely radio at a market plays a song that catches the attention of some passerby who stops to hum the song as it is familiar.
That's the situation of some of the people who come to listen to these readings.
It's familiar because they are our own experience of consciousness.
They listen, not to learn but to experience joy that the self expresses itself. Not ego, but pure joy.
You are the radio.
Sing away ♥️♥️♥️
What an exquisite way to express what is happening here, 🥰💜🌈🙏
Hell yes
Name of the song?......."You think you're in exile, but you are home".
Right on
Oh so good ! This is the day !! Immense gratitude .
😍Ramana Maharshi has a lovely way of connecting us to the truth.💛
🎶💖Silence is infinite bliss. Self (Spirit, Atma, God etc) is everywhere, it is with everyone & in everything. Self has no beginning or end. 🎶💖
💚We are Infinite Blissful Awareness.💚
💜Thank you Jaya.💜
May The Universal Power always with you!🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
And just as simple as that,
effortlessly all doubts are here by eternally erased......Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Aranachula Ramanaya,Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Aranachula Ramanaya, Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Aranachula Ramanaya 🙏 ♥️ ❤️ ❤
The photo is of Mt. Kailash in Tibet. According to some it is the legendary home of Shiva.
I know Atma means "the self" and Kara means "radiating outwards", but I don't understand "Sakshat". I looked it up at this link but that didn't help clarify it for me.
www.yogapedia.com/definition/9080/sakshat#:~:text=Sakshat%20is%20a%20Sanskrit%20word%20that%20means%20%22in,case%20the%20avatar%20is%20called%20sakshat%2C%20or%20direct.
Maybe Atma Sakshatkara means "radiating self realisation" ? Anyone know?
@@otterrivers3765 sakshatkara means the act of experiencing or witnessing
This is such an epic, from start to finish. The end is so triumphant, especially with the music transition, I had chills all over. Great composition.
Beautiful, may all beings be liberated
Thank you for your beautiful selfless gift of the highest kind. If it wasn’t for this I would not have access to these timeless boons by the great masters. Deep gratitude and blessings 🙏🏼

Every body must listen to series of 12 Husin videos on this channel. I listened so may times but it is new everytime. What a miracle!
Why/what's so special & unique about these 12??
I like the pauses you put in the beginning, allows one to get settled. Oh. And the anticipation :)
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....Thank you for spreading the truth, such grace, such love, such eternal bliss!
Your beautiful, calm, soothing, relaxing, comforting voice n words of wisdom....are like that of a caring/loving mother to her sick child... The best cure ever!!! Thank you so much...🙏🏽
My new favorite. The quote in the thumbnail. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pristine, beautiful and priceless wisdom ❤
🙏🙏Ma’am is back with another recording on Bhagavan. 🙏🙏 Thank you, Ma’am ..
This is actually a redone recording too Rahul. Atma Sakshatkara was one of the first recordings I made but I think it needed a bit of a revamp for improved audio, etc. However, you can still find the first one I did in the Advaita playlist. All the best and may you get much out of this wonderful Wisdom!
Samaneri Jayasara Sure Ma’am!!! Thank you so much!

Excellent!
Thanks so much to offer this awesome teaching, Samaneri! It says in this teaching, "Let NOT the mind think of anything else." I really don't get/understand the meaning of this sentence. How can one function in the world if the mind doesn't think of anything else (and only focuses solely on the Atman)? We all need the mind in all activities including interactions with other people in this world. Even as I'm typing this I'm also thinking. According to spiritual perspectives, are there perhaps only certain types of thoughts that we should not allow to arise? Hopefully, you or anyone who has a deep understanding could enlighten me on this part. Thanks in advance!
Hi there, I think the word "think" is actually a poor translation here and bound to create confusion as it has done in you. It would be better to relate to it more as the mind "dwelling or resting" in That - the silent Awareness. If you can imagine yourself engaged in any activity but you are aware that your mind is fairly still and quiet even in the midst of activity. Kind of like the zone one can get into on a long run or bike ride. If you do exercise you'll know what I mean. You don't have to think about running or riding - the body knows what to do. In fact if you do think about the mechanics of it, you are more likely to stuff it up! Thoughts are not the problem - it is the identification with them as 'me' or 'my' thoughts that is the problem. When we are totally identified with them as my 'self' that's when we get tense and into conflicts about right/wrong, good/bad, and so on. The recommendation then is to abide in the silent, still awareness that you can notice in the gaps between thoughts and allow that to grow stronger and more pronounced within you. You don't have to suppress or fight neurotic thoughts - they will still come and go - but ignore them, don't identify with them - let them float by like clouds in the sky. Not all thoughts are evil or wrong either - there's lots of wisdom in some of them, but the key is not to think that they are 'yours' or who you are. How can they be, they are just like floating embers! Stay more in the silence of your own heart, make friends with your thoughts but don't invite them to stick around. They will soon leave once they get bored that you are not paying them much attention. Hope this ramble from the thought/non-thought space helps a bit!
@@SamaneriJayasara Much appreciation to your explanation, Samaneri!
There's this question: is it possible to be as/in pure awareness (the Self) while thinking simultaneously? According to my common sense, it's not possible because to be as pure awareness/consciousness is to look inward (within/inner/internal world), whereas, thinking is about the world (the mundane) whose direction is outward (toward the external world). It's like trying to go North and South at the same time. Hopefully, you can understand what I'm trying to convey to you and hopefully, with your deep spiritual understanding, you will be able to clarify. Thanks so much again in advance, Samaneri!
@@realfacts7763 There are different degrees of samadhi/absorption where one would be completely merged without the slightest trace of thought - immovable and untouched by any trace of the mundane existence. However, Bhagavan Ramana mostly encouraged people to be in and experience Sahaja samadhi - which is the natural state. Thoughts may come and go in this natural state of consciousness, but one is not identified, moved, or influenced by them in anyway. Rather than be engaged in long, discursive thinking and analysing which so many people are trapped in, we need to just be aware if they intrude but turn away - unless of course they are really important for survival and functioning in the world. But you may have noticed that most of our thoughts are useless, neurotic, repetitive, and ego-centric. Few fall into the category of truly wise and helpful! If you think of Ramana Maharshi, he moved about with people, engaged and talked but for certain he never moved from that immovable state of the Self or Reality - his being was so connected and absorbed in that from the Ultimate point of view. As he encouraged his devotees saying: "Your hands may do the work but your mind can remain still. You are that which never moves." So if you contemplate this, thoughts too are not really the problem - they are just fairy floss that flies in the mind's sky but they are not who we are, and in their essential essence they are empty, insubstantial and substanceless. Whether they appear or not in consciousness is not important - the important point is that one not identify as them and rather remains completely stablised in the conviction that they are that immovable source from which they arise. Hope this helps
I think it might help to point out that "thinking" means different things depending on how we use the word.
There is intentional thinking and unintentional thinking.
When a thought comes up on its own, there's not much you can do about it. But if you notice it and let it go, that is very different from forgetting mindfulness and following the thought and getting lost in it.
It's a subtle qualitative difference.
(Wow the video just said "subtle" as I was typing it.😱)
I hope that might be helpful in addition to Jayasara's responses.
If I'm way off, just ignore me haha. ✌😇
@@SamaneriJayasara Really helps. Thankyou.
All you need to do is realize who the doer of all things really is 😊

🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much. what is the music during the video (except the last track you did list). the music is lovely and quietening throughout.
🙏🏽
Truth !
HAPPY BIRTHDAY G
This meditation is so beautiful and drives home to my bosom the all pervasive and comprehensive nature of Lord Shiva. Just want to ask SJ if there is a way to get the transcript?
Very much appreciate your help.Thank you kindly!
Kailash is the mountain of Krsihna(m)achrya. Arunachala is the mountain of Ramana. The tamarind tree is the tree of Krishna(m)achrya, the God-tree is the tree of Ramana. Follow the tracks of the mountains and the trees and you will come across the holiest of the holiest. Krishna(m)achraya was inaugurated at Kailash at 4580 meters, Ramana at Mount Annamalai.
Thank you for the video, Samaneri, but didn't you make a similar video to this one back in January 2, 2019 titled "Devikalottura-Supreme Wisdom"? (I was just curious). I thought they had a different content, but found the same.
Yes I did and you can still find it up there. If you go to my Playlists you will find all the Advaita-Vedanta recordings there. I also recorded Atma Satshkara back then too, but thought to redo with improved audio and less up front music. All the best
Namaste beloved my beautiful sister, much love blessings n light to you n all, wake up be free now, reader n type haha ❤😊😅😮😢🎉😂 all is SHIVA

All the maters and mystics say exactly the same thing... They use slightly different words. "Be still and see the unreality of thought." Okay, I shall.

No. No, no, no, no. When have you ever been someone else? Even disregarding distinctions of the mind, the Self is NOT the same Self of All. This is the last stumbling block before enlightenment. It is Your Mind, from Your Self, that has made and accepted those distinctions, or disregarded them. Saying you are that Silence, and Shiva Himself, is just another attribute adoption. YOU, are experiencing that Silence, and are like unto Shiva, but You are not Shiva. What you must understand is that You, are lacking nothing. Vasudeva's son entered the Silence, completely abandoning Self. He did not become the Silence, he only succeeded in destroying his You, his, Self. Do not make the same mistake, and spend yourself in efforts whose fruition is destruction. Relish the Self that IS You!!! Be grateful for Being, and ecstatically Joyful that You are aware of your Being!!! It is as plain as the nose on your face. You are You, The Greatest Miracle. You cannot be with someone, if there is no You. You have never been someone else, You are not someone else, and You will never be someone else; even if You succeed in destroying the Self, or 'dissolving' it, if you want to be deceptively tactful, there will be no You, to Be That One. That One, is that One, and You are You. All the best to All of You!!!
In India this powerful teachings are being polluted by BJP RSS.But no complaint it is all happening by Brahman itself.
We have,according to spiritual savant Sri Yukeswar,book/The Holy Science just crawled out of the Kali yuga.In 1893 we transitioned into Dwarpara yuga.We are on an ascending spiritual evolutionary trajectory for the next 10k years.
We are seeing an unprecedented amount of information being downloaded into the conscious minds of NDE survivors.See on utube,Jose Hernandez,Atheist dies and is shocked by who he sees in heaven,and Seeing thru God's eyeglasses.
More people are having Kundalini awakening experience,s.
And even our children are getting into the act.See new series on utube called the Ghost Inside my Child.Actual testimonials from children in the west remembering their past lives and beyond.
In 10k more years telepathic communication & Samadhi will be as normal as our different sleep states..
See on utube Ramana Maharshi Be as You Are Chapter 12 Experience and Samadhi. Namaste
Conflit is part of the Self.
Remember that the churching of the ocean (with the devas and asuras) brought forth the nectar of Amrita.
*churning
ALL [nearly all] teachings are polluted in these times (July 2023)..... Ahriman & Lucifer/Satan 👿+ his-her minions rule this real-ity
