Week 6 - Expert Lecture Posting
The turning point in Ramana Maharshi's life was in November of 1895 when he was introduced to Indian Philosophy. Just after this he was overcome by the idea that he was going to die. He asked what does death mean, and what is dieing? After this he was centered within on the supreme self, his union with god.
With these new experiences he no longer liked sports or anything that took away from the preoccupation of self awareness that was awakening in him. On August 29th 1896 two months after his awakening, he was trying to write out an English grammar exercise, after trying and failing he pushed aside the exercise, crossed his legs and started his meditation.
