unMind - the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi Siddharth

My spiritual journey found its shore when I discovered the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Here it was — the complete, direct answer to man’s eternal search for peace and happiness.
This is my attempt to get his teachings (and that of other advaita gurus) to you in the way I understand them. I often use stories (and Zen koans) to illustrate a point; you'll also find references to Hindu, Zen and Buddhist spiritual treatises.

The beauty of Lord Rama Pt 1
Ramayana is by far my favorite story of all time and a story that has touched me like no other.

I read from the Bhagavad Gita (the Song of God). I digress too, there is some Kipling and a seminal punk band called Television.
