Abide as the Self: The Essential Teachings of Ramana Maharshi

I purchased my copy of this wonderful dvd back in 2007 and have recently re-discovered it in my dvd collection. It is truly magnificent, especially for those who wish to focus more on Sri Ramana's actual teaching! It is unfortunate what has happened to the price over the years, but if you can find a decent price, grab it. Actually, I think you'd be fortunate to find it still available even at this rather high price. I can't praise it highly enough!

This is a documentary video, there's no mistake about it. It also gives viewer a very simple message - start to know yourself, by self-inquiry. The Ramana's footage is quite poor in video and audio quality. There are a number of interviews with senior travellers/followers giving their personal experience when they were with Ramana in India.

I recommend this DVD to all people interested in spiritual integration.

Exceptionally well done, truly inspiring

This DVD is a wonderful window and Darshan with Ramana Maharshi in his beloved space in India. Ram Dass is radiant & erudite as always. It is a joyous item to share with others! Absolutely & wholeheartedly recommended!

What is there to say: Ramana Maharshi lived fully and simply in the moment. Everyone that approached him was struck by his authenticity, openness, and deep understanding. He was the embodiment of the here and now.This video gives a thorough introduction to Sri Ramana's teachings. In particular, this one hour video has three main things to offer: a general background of Ramana's life and teachings; videos and pictures of Ramana; and complimentary interviews from his followers highlighting and expounding on his teachings as well offering a glimpse into how it was like to be in his presence.While no video or book could ever claim to encapsulate the complete teachings of Sri Ramana, this video does a good job of capturing the essence and energy of them.If you are looking for the simplest means to Awaken - this is it. The Path Sri Ramana shares is the most direct Path towards being fully present in the here and now. He cuts away all the spiritual high-mindedness, complexity, and secrecy and gives us the core of what it takes to dissolve the boundaries between the limited ego-self and the world it is part of.As Ramana Maharshi says, "let come what comes, let go what goes. See what remains." Be centered and abide within that space - that is our True Nature.****After intense study and years of working with different systems I’ve condensed down my experiences and understandings of Enlightenment into a series of poems and pithy sayings in  Awakening Poems: Enlightenment at Your Fingertips (Process Poetry) (Volume 4)

This taught me a lot about the teachings of Ramana Maharshi. It's only about an hour long, and I highly recommend checking it out.
