A Search in Secret India
About This Book
Brunton's account of his search across India for an authentic holy man — a journey that took him through charlatans and genuine saints, through Hindu temples and Muslim shrines, until his encounter with Ramana Maharshi at the foot of Arunachala. This is the book that first introduced Ramana Maharshi to the Western world, and its vivid account of Brunton's own experience of the Self during his time with Ramana remains one of the most compelling first-hand spiritual testimonials in the English language.
What You'll Learn
Ramana Maharshi communicated his deepest teaching not through words but through silence — Brunton experienced the mental quietude induced by proximity to a realized sage as more powerful than any doctrine. The diversity of spiritual practices and traditions in India points to the fact that there are many authentic paths — the criterion is not orthodoxy but transformation. The one who seeks the Self is the Self — the search ends in the recognition that the seeker was always what was sought.
