Rays of the Absolute (the Legacy of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj)

- In 2006 Stephen Wolinsky proposed the idea of traveling to India to film Nisargadatta Maharaj’s translators and disciples to explore the legacy Maharaj left behind in his hometown, Mumbai.
In 2007 Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo together with Stephen Wolinsky, Philip Safarik and Fred Good traveled to India to shoot this film.
The meeting with the old devotees was both illuminating as well as deeply touching.
Over the next seven and a half years, we all plugged away, going through mounds of material allowing this project to reach completion.
The film you are about to see cannot demonstrate the amount of work that went into this project….but let’s simply say that finally it is complete…
Nisargadatta did not leave an ashram; he did not leave any teachings nor successors. This movie is a homage to him; a look at his unintended legacy from people that have been inspired by him more then words can express.
This film contains interviews with four of the old Nisargadatta's translators: Ramesh Balsekar, S.K. Mullarpattan, Mohan and Jayashri Gaitonde,plus some old indian devotees and trustees, the publishers of "I Am That" and a visit to the old room in which Maharaj was holding his meetings, his Guru Samadhi Shrine and the place in which some of Maharaj ashes are preserved.
In the footage are also presented exclusive photographs of Maharaji's cremation ceremony.

Believe me brothers & sisters, there are people like Maharaj still here! They're just so hard to find amongst the charlatan wolves that most get deceived & never find! "I Am That" is excellent for daily guna-play survival but recommend "Self-Love: The Original Dream" for ultimate sadhana & introduction to your/THE Satguru! Thank you Maharaj! The flame will never be snuffed out!!!

Stephen without your love for Maharaj we would not have this Gem you have gifted so many of us. Ta Jai Guru Jai Guru
The day i held in my hands the book I AM THAT, i knew my quest had ended. this was it. this is all i would ever need to come to my self. the energy signature of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj is indelibly in every word, it is like he is with me on my journey.
“The space depends on maharaj and not maharaj on the space”
This is fascinating!! This implies that the universe exists in consciousness and cannot exist without consciousness.
This implies Absolute exists without consciousness but the universe (or consciousness ) requires Absolute as its base. But this distinction is only for the purpose of analysis, in fact there is no distinction. The unmanifested consciousness is Absolute and Manifested Absolute is consciousness.
Thank you again for the explanations
@@prof.manjeetsinghjcboseust9034 👍😊
Yes from the point of the absolute it cannot be seen another way. Humanity may die out but the universe will still exist.
@@johnmc3862Humanity's existence is but a dream.
Dr. Vanjay (I forgot her last name) gave an incredible description and explanation of Maharaj's teachings. Amazing
Every time I become Somebody, i watch this documentary to come back to my real being. Thank you for making this Dear David❤️ your work is from the absolute.
Exactly🙏
👍😊
Wow powerful , same
…and when you’re nobody, you don’t need to watch this at all.
I do the same 🙏🙏🙏
5 years on and this video has such profound meaning and impact thankyou Stephen and the rest of the crew ♥️♥️♥️♥️
The first thing that struck me about Nisargadatta is that, unlike many "gurus", he didn't conflate speaking awkwardly slow with profundity. Taking ten minutes to utter a paragraph doesn't add value to anything you're saying. It just means you don't have to come up with as much to say.
I much prefer it when people speak slowly. I appreciate the time to do a little digesting of the ideas before new ones are raised.
@@janetownleyagreed, isn’t it obvious…
Thank you Stephen. My guru (the absolute) speaks to me through technology. Which maybe in the form of youtube. An understanding has come about where words (for the sake of communication) is flowing through different humans who has lived and passed. The beauty of it all is that it flows from same source. I am happy and content. Let many many people be free through our current technology which is a carrier for conveying words of truth.
👍😊
You are a robot
what an ego....
Yes SatGuru comes through technology to me as well.
Jai Guru Dev.
Blessings to you
I have read reflected upon Nisagadatta,s dialogues and those of his venerable jhani teacher , he is probably the last great jhani ,formidable ,clear concise and remarkably accessible ,and can read and re read his dialgues like great spiritual teachings ,bringing us back to that indescribable "reality",beyond the i ,I am even .
Absolutely brilliant. I mean thinking only that I'm witnessing The Absolute in the form of Maharaj ji is beyond any expression or experience. It's overwhelming! He takes No Nonsense and hits you straight to the core. One of the most hardcore advait vedanti I've come across. 🙏
What a beautiful and interesting documentary. Maharaja was a incredibly special being.
Maharaj cuts through illusion like a knife, so eloquently and so beautifully. Thank you for making this film.
Soul Refraction: I, too, was wondering about Maharaj's seeming ability to be so far removed from his body, I wonder if anyone knows if he could feel pain when he was dying of throat or jaw cancer. It has been told the Ramana Maharshi did not feel his body pain when he was dying of cancer. I hope same was true of Nisargadatta. Does anyone know?
Pain comes from inhabiting a body, as the body is Maya or illusion so is the pain that comes with it. We still perceive that we experience pain but without the body or mind who would perceive this pain in the first place?
Amazing Documentary ! "I AM THAT" is super book ! Jai Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj !
Jai gurudev..thank you to come through youtube
👌🏻 Wolinsky, thanks ❤
Dear Steven I started sobbing uncontrollably when I saw Maharaj roar like a tiger to dispel our foolish attachments and baggage !! Highest master of advaita!! Thank you!! I want to let you know Swamy Antarmukhananda and swami Lakshmananda are great living siddha masters and living emibodiments of advaiata !!! They both are in south india and are disciples of SriRamananda and Sivananda!! Please go see them u can listen to talks on TH-cam also
Thanks! Nisargadatta is one of my all-time favorite teachers 💜
.....A quote from one of Nisargadatta’s disciples about the essence of the teachings; “...every human being is fundamentally the Source; the ‘impersonal consciousness’ identifies with each body-mind organism as a separate entity, which is the ego...” [47:40]
.....How to abide as Source; “Staying in the being-ness would only entail not getting involved with your personal identity” [48:47]
Thanks Stephen for your devotion and dedication, without which this film would not had been possible. This documentary gives us rare glimpses into Maharaj teachings. Also the profoundness of his teachings can be seen in all the Indian devotees here interviewed. Their humility comes from knowing their beingness. Yet after so many years they all roar with the self knowledge received from Maharaj as if he spoke yesterday. By the end i am moved to tears for being born after that consciousness which came to liberate us in the physical form left us. Peace.
Yes, I agree and have the same feelings! Thank you!
Beautiful. Yes, this I feels the same.
I'm so full of gratitude. Thank you, Maharaj. Thank you, Stephen. Eternally grateful.
The perfume of the guru is flowing in this video. Many thanks !
Thank you for making this beautiful film. More people need to go within and realize the true meaning of their existence.
Wow ! Thank you Stephen....Love the couple at the end...beautiful.
They are beautiful indeed.
Yea they are
Namaste thankyou thankyou thankyou infinite love light blessings to all
What a wealth to hear the words of these Devotees of Maharaj. Thank you for following through with this project. !!
Dear Stephen, Really thanks for the beautiful movie,,
Thank you so very much.
So grateful for this! Thank you 🙏🏼
I feel fortunate to experince this documentary. Thank you.
I am grateful to you.
Thank You Brothers......
Thank you so much 💖
Much thanks for taking the time and effort to make this film. ❤
Stephen's timeless love song to his --and our--Maharaj. Thank You!
Many blessings and thanks for this wonderful video. I have known for a few years now that Maharaj is my teacher. I later discovered both my parents were born on Sept 8, the day of his death; then that my mother and grandparents fled India after Gandhi was killed via Bombay in 1948. I like to imagine them brushing past the supreme guru and him returning to England with them. I am forever grateful for his appearance in my life..
Much gratitude for this powerful film.
1:02:00 I cried so much when I saw this clip of Maharaj thanking his guru. I'm normally not a crying sort of person at all but some wave of emotions washed over me and I couldn't stop it
That part got me too. The more I started thinking about what I've learned from him and others, also the Bhagavad Gita...I had to pause the video for a while. I felt strong emotions like I wanted to cry, yet a fire inside of me to stay strong and stay on the path to self-realization.
What a gift! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this
❤🙏🕊
Maharaja blessing be showered on all.🙏
Everything is nothing and nothing is everything. Fantastic! The whole Cosmos is encapsulated in these two sentences. Infinite Pranam and thanks to you for this unique Satsang. 🙏🙏🙏
Jai Gurudev. 🌹🌹🌹
Thank all of you so much for your devotion I discover Sri Nasargadatta few months ago and this is a very important contribution on the path. Namaste i'm very touch right now wow !
Hari Om.Blessed Self..... No thankfulness action, words or else, would express the joy of hearing this language, the Brhama Vidya one, most spoken by the Atma words in Mother India. Even though, my dear friends, thank you 108 times for that!!!!! Fantasc One here, my humble salutations. Pranam sab koy kailyai.
Thank you Zaya and Mauricio!! This is gold :)
You made a wonderful job. Thank you for this film. As a form of retribution I send a full translation in portuguese subtitles (is currently being analyzed
by TH-cam translators), to help spread the message to the portugueses speakers. You guys have honored his memory in incredible way. Thanks.
Thank You
What an incredibly wonderful film, thank you! I was resisting and resisting, but I kept coming back, the pull was immense. Your film has finally made a convert of me, I am extraordinarily grateful. Beautiful. :-)
I can’t believe I’m watching this. Thank you so much you guys did an amazing service to all of us. Thank you 🙏🏼
What a immense understanding of the absolute ..... i thank everyone who brought this amazing documentary and teachings together 🙏🙏🙏🙏
38:05 ''It is going to be thrown out in the dustbin . It is not you'' .... Best comment Ever !!!
Came across it when it is most needed ! Feeling very grateful ! Thanks !
First youtube comment ever. This is really nicely done. Thanks a lot. 🙏🏽
Thank you very much!!
I have come across this video about two month ago and have since listened to it several times and the some specific parts even more...I read I AM THAT over 20 years ago....I am now rereading it again as well as watching videos by Stepen Wolinski....
Thank You Maharaj, Thank You Stephen.
+Fawa7 Mourad I AM THAT is one of those proverbial books you might want to take on a desolate island, if you have the choice to take along only a few books...
I have no word for this remembrance. ...just a formality. .THANK YOU.
important correction to the subtitles: at 52:12 i'm pretty sure he's saying, "the only doer can be the source."
("only doers can be the source" makes no sense in this context.)
thank you for this powerful film!
Such a beautiful documentary.
Thank you, Stephen.
Absolutely incredible.
THANK you! very grateful!
Thank you Maurizio, Zaya and Stephen. I appreciate your gifts.
Sat Guru Nisargadatta Maharaj ki Jay
Brought tears into my eyes. All the pride of "me, my knowledge , my achivements" thrown into dustbin.
This is puse perfume of bliss.Can only come from absolute. This is it. Nothing more nothing less.Thanks Stephen a million times for this beautiful documentary done with love and great detail.
I feel like hugging Mullarpatan.
Thank you for this wonderful movie. Namaste 🙏 Om Nama Shivaya 🙏🕉️
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart .cannot thank you enough. Pranams .
Thank you, Stephen and all. I first read I am That more that 25 years ago. This film has completed my journey. It is perfect. It is Beautiful. In the book, Maharaj speaks of Earnestness and Sincerity....this will take you to the Absolute. Thank you again for your hard work and devotion. Ommm
Thank you ... no words .. a great gift
Such an inspirational documentary. I am grateful for it.
Thank You So Much! Beautiful! ❤❤❤
I could feel the presence and greatness of Maharaj and his teachings merely by listening to the wonderful disciples in this documentary. thanks! thanks thanks alot for making this!
What a wonderful film. Thank you so very much for your dedication.
Thank you so much for this film. What a blessing that someone has put time and effort to continue a message through the ages. Thank you thank you thank you
absolutely stunning! thank you for this film!! the greatness of Maharaja is ineffable and his teachings are priceless and timeless.
Thank you Stephen and crew for this lovely expression of your LOVE!
Thank you for sharing this invaluable secret of life. Thanks to everyone who put together these gems. Lot of the articles that I read these days on Linkedin about 'living in the present or power of now, zero mind etc' is already spoken and discoursed by the Maharaj long back, the same teachings are now presented by many in a more formal ways but it's the same. Regards, Ash
Many (many) thanks!
Namaste Stephen. I am so grateful for this beautiful documentary. OneLove!
Deep Gratitude
Thank you, Maurizio and Zaya for so generously sharing this profound film with the world! Who can know how much grace it will propagate?! Much love and appreciation!
Simon in London alerted me that is was posted here!
Ever since I became aware of Nisargadatta Maharaj and have heard his words, I cannot explain how but I have felt a closeness to him as though I know or knew him and it is a very strange thing to have such a feeling for someone I do not even speak the same language and who was only alive or, in his body until a few years after I was born.
OUTSTANDING! Such a gift of love. Blessings 🙏
This is a wonderful project inspired by Divine inspiration. Thank you so much. Namaste.
amazing. amazing.amazing. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to all the people who presented their experiences.
Reallllllllly great,those who were not lucky enough to meet maharaj ji in person would be immensely benefited by this wonderful video.
I love that his teachings were delivered in such a ridiculously exuberant manner, really blows the top of the cliched eyes glazed over lost in deep bliss guru that's been so popularized. Thanks for sharing this wonderful film, I keep finding that these resources make themselves available as soon as one is ripe to receive them.
Refreshing. so, beyond free
Echoes those brisk Chinese Zen Masters.
"The true Dharma is without characteristics.
You are striking poses and donning attitudes all because of a mere phantom.
Even if in your seeking you got something it would all be the work of wild fox spirits.."

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj was a total North Star for me in my 20’s. His books helped me so much during these most formative years. Thank you for this video...it’s like connecting with an old friend 🙏🙏
