| In the inmost core, the Heart Shines as Brahman alone, As 'I - I', the Self aware. Enter deep into the Heart By search for Self, or diving deep Or with breath under check. Thus abide ever in Atman. (Ramana Gita, ch.ii, v 2) |
The Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK is a registered charity. An elected committee guides the Foundation. Members endeavour to live by Bhagavan's teaching faithfully, without the Intrusion of personalities, and to practise Self-enquiry and surrender in all circumstances of our everyday lives. You are most welcome to ring us and visit, to look at books or talk of sadhana.
MEETINGS
Michael James will take part in the Satsang on Saturday 12 September 2015.
The RMF UK meets on the second Saturday of each month for Satsangs which last from 1.30 to 5.30 pm at The Friends Meeting House, 120 Heath Street, Hampstead, London NW3 1DR. Each Satsang has a theme. After an opening mantra and ‘Om’, a brief introduction is given to the theme (the themes for the Satsangs are published in the Newsletter). This is followed by periods of silence which alternate with readings relevant to the theme, a mixture of bhakti (devotion) and jnana (Self-knowledge). We break for tea from about 3.30 to 4.30 pm and this is followed by an open discussion. The meetings conclude with a bhajan and closing mantra at about 5.30 pm.
As well as the main monthly Satsangs, Additional Satsangs are held on the last Saturday of each month at 2 pm in the Library upstairs in the Friends Meeting House. The emphasis at these Additional Satsangs is on Devotion and they are less formal than the main Satsangs.
The nearest Underground Station is Hampstead on the Northern Line: turn right out of the Station & then immediately right again into Heath Street. The FMH is about 5 minutes walk up Heath Street, past a Church on the right-hand-side, past New End, past Elm Row, and then the Friends Meeting House, also on the right, has a black, arched entrance under a yew tree. NB It is very difficult to find car parking space anywhere near the Friends Meeting House and the parking wardens are very keen.
Meditation
Please Note: There will be no Meditation during August 2015.
Study Group
A Study Group meets fortnightly on alternate Tuesday evenings, to continue going through the Core Texts. We are presently going through various of Bhagavan’s own written works including “Spiritual Instruction”. Numbers are limited, however, as the meetings take place in a private home. Anyone who is interested is therefore asked to contact Alasdair in the first place on 020 7328 3314 or Aldia@waitrose.com.
