Podcasts about Ramana Maharshi

Maharishikaa addresses a concern about Ramana Maharshi's self-inquiry non-dualism practice being misrepresented as Shiva Dhyan asks for Maharishikaa's interpretation. Unromanticizing the fog that surrounds certain practices given by Ramana Maharshi, Maharishikaa lays bare how his teachings and practices have been butchered by Westerners on the path of spiritual awakening. She comments on the immense cherry-picking of Ramana Maharshi's teachings, which began with the first books that were written and popularised in the West, including works of Paul Brunton. She further explains how the crucial aspect of surrender, as well as the context of Guru-shishya Paramparaa—under the aegis of which these practices were transmitted to those students who were in surrender to Ramana Maharshi as their Guru—was completely left out, undermining the principles of Advaita Vedanta and self-inquiry non-dualism. These isolated, cherry-picked practices—popularised by the author who eventually left Ramana Maharshi as well as new-age neo-advaitin Western gurus posturing as disciples of the lineage - have now become the starting point for many young spiritual seekers on the path of Neo-Advaita. Practices like the ‘Who am I?' or Neti-Neti, which were originally not practices but questions and experiences arising along the self-realization journey, now lead to havoc in the minds of young seekers who practice these disconnected teachings, ending up entirely confused and disoriented. They arrive at Maharishikaa's satsang seeking the sanity they feel they've lost by taking up these disconnected practices while seeking the experience of oneness and spiritual awakening. Maharishikaa brings the discourse back to Shiva, reminding him that instead of hanging around in tea shops and reading spiritual books, it's time to take up the saadhana, the practice of surrender to the Soul. #Maharishikaa #SelfEnquiry #RamanaMaharshi #NetiNeti #GuruTradition Aaryaa Maharishikaa Preeti Maiyaa, is a revolutionary female mystic who fearlessly dares to demystify spirituality in her unrelenting call to realize Self, and act from Source.

Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950) compte parmi les plus grands maîtres de l'Inde contemporaine. Sans aucune étude ni initiation, il atteignit l'illumination et vécut en ermite dans la sainte montagne d'Arunachala. Son enseignement principalement oral attira à lui des milliers d'Indiens et d'occidentaux. A la fois conforme à la vérité la plus profonde des textes sacrés de l'hindouisme et détachée d'une érudition sclérosante, sa parole s'autorisait des excursions dans la pensée évangélique qu'il éclairait d'un jour nouveau. En maître socratique, il ne donnait jamais de leçons magistrales, mais se contentait de répondre aux questions qu'on lui posait et d'en susciter de nouvelles. Plus de trente ans après la première traduction française de ces entretiens, voici enfin une édition critique et intégrale de ce classique de la spiritualité vivante.   Bibliographie: L'enseignement de Ramana Maharshi, édition intégrale (https://www.babelio.com/livres/Maharshi-LEnseignement-de-Ramana-Maharshi/270057)   Musique: Bruno Léger   Narration et réalisation: Bruno Léger   Production: Les mécènes du Vieux Sage   Que règnent la paix et l'amour parmi tous les êtres de l'univers.    OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

This is number 28 of a 30-part meditation series inspired by Adyashanti. This practice is simple, pointed, and powerful. It takes courage to love, to be honest, to understand another person, and yourself. Here you're invited to notice your sticking points, places where you hold on, become overly insistent, or pull back too far, and to meet those places with courage.These practices build on each other, so you can listen consecutively, but if there is one in particular that speaks to you, feel free to stick with it. Based on the teachings of Adyashanti, they can be used alone or as a companion to his audio series, The 30-Day Wake Up Challenge, or his book, The Direct Way: 30 Practices to Evoke Awakening. This meditation correlates to Day 28. In some cases, the meditations are also loosely inspired by the teachings of Andrew Holecek, Pema Chodron, and Eckhart Tolle.  I hope you enjoy.Music and audio by Eric Fischer. Support the showHost: Tess CallahanSubstack: Writers at the WellInterview Podcast: Writers at the WellMeditations on Insight TimerMeditations on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/Music (unless otherwise noted above): Christopher Lloyd ClarkAudio Editing: Eric Fischer By tapping "like" and "follow" you help others find the show.

Texto “Ulladu Narpadu”, de Ramana Maharshi.Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950), nascido Venkataraman Iyer, foi um dos mais venerados sábios da Índia. Nascido em Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, viveu uma infância comum até, aos 16 anos, experimentar uma profunda transformação espiritual ao confrontar a ideia de morte. Essa experiência o levou à realização do verdadeiro Eu e à renúncia de sua vida mundana. A partir disso ele se estabeleceu na montanha sagrada de Arunachala, onde passou o resto de sua vida em meditação e transmitindo ensinamentos, atraindo discípulos de todo o mundo.Ramana ensinava a prática do “Atma-Vichara”, “Self-enquiry” (auto-inquirição ou auto-investigação), baseada na pergunta “Quem sou eu?”. Ātmā Vicāra (विचार), é um termo sânscrito que significa o processo de investigar quem realmente somos, a investigação sobre a Natureza do Ser. Esta técnica é a que melhor exemplifica o Jñāna Yoga, o Yoga do conhecimento sobre Si Mesmo.Ramana destacava que a libertação espiritual surge da dissolução do ego e da realização da unidade com a Consciência universal. Seus ensinamentos enfatizavam a simplicidade, o silêncio e a experiência direta como caminhos para a Autorrealização, rejeitando práticas ritualísticas e dogmas religiosos.Seus ensinamentos transcendem fronteiras culturais e religiosas, inspirando buscadores espirituais em todo o mundo. Seu Ashram de Arunachala continua sendo um centro de aprendizado e prática, e suas ideias sobre introspecção e paz interior permanecem profundamente influentes.

Today's special guest is Connirae Andreas, PhD.  Learning (and experiencing) her "Core Transformation" and "Wholeness Work" have helped me navigate every aspect of my filmmaking journey from script to production to the big screen and beyond.  On November 4, 2025, Connirae will be hosting a LIVE online training of The Wholeness Work.  To register, and I passionately recommend it to anyone and everyone, visit:https://www.andreasnlp.com/trainings/the-wholeness-work/live-online/level-i/Connirae has been an innovative leader, teacher, and author in the field of personal development and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) for over 4 decades. Connirae and her late husband Steve Andreas were early developers of NLP and wrote and edited many of the first NLP books and training materials, helping to bring NLP into the mainstream.She is best known for creating Core Transformation, a groundbreaking method that turns our limitations into a doorway to experiences many describe as "love", "peace", "presence", or "oneness". Her most recent work, The Wholeness Work, offers a gentle yet precise way to dissolve stress and ego-based patterns, resolving life challenges and opening the door to deep emotional healing. Connirae's discoveries were shaped both by a life-changing encounter with Dr. Milton Erickson in 1979 and by her own multi-year health crisis, which led her to explore the teachings of Indian sage Ramana Maharshi and uncover a profound path to healing and awakening.For more information, visit:https://www.thewholenesswork.org/https://www.andreasnlp.com/trainings/the-wholeness-work/I hope you enjoy this Special Bonus episode.Cheers!Get the Books:Filmmaking ConfidentialAccessing CreativityHow to Find InvestorsWatch the Films: DIKENGA Official Websites: SteveBalderson.comInstagram @dikengaTwitX: @sbaldersonFacebook

Sign up for the General Fellowship to receive event invitations directly in your inbox.Ram Dass Here & Now is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/ramdass and get on your way to being your best self.This special episode of Here and Now celebrates the new book, There Is No Other, a collection of teachings taken from Ram Dass' lectures. In these times, Ram Dass' teachings on wholeness and unity are more needed than ever. We begin with a clip of Ram Dass exploring the mindset of “us versus them.” Who exactly is us? Who is them? Raghu and Parvati reflect on how this clip is central to the theme of There Is No Other.The next clip features Ram Dass talking about the balance of heart and mind. Sharing a powerful real-life example, he explores how we cut ourselves off when we veil our hearts. Raghu and Parvati share how the book is about walking a path to harmony and wholeness.The third clip finds Ram Dass examining Ramana Maharshi's concept of “God, Guru, Self,” and how we can begin to appreciate that the Spirit is everywhere. Parvati and Raghu discuss how Ram Dass' new book speaks to this really important moment in our lives.We end with a brief clip of Ram Dass talking about the path of love. “Finally,” he says, “you become an environment, a vibratory rate…” “So the mind, if it gets too strong, out of balance with the heart, shuts down all the information that the heart can give. It cuts you off from your wisdom, really. You don't even see all the stuff. I mean, you and I are simultaneously existing on so many planes of reality, but because of the power of our minds, we keep limiting which realities are real, and the rest of it we either treat as error or we don't even notice. It's so deeply unconscious, we just don't even notice all the rest of us, of ourselves.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send me your thoughts in a Text MessageWhat if awakening isn't about understanding concepts, but directly recognising presence through lived experience?In this episode of Awakening Now, I sat down with Alina Panteleev, a Non-Dual Teacher and Certified Somatic Repression Coach.Alina helps soulful, self-aware women and men who, despite years of inner work, still feel caught in cycles of self-doubt, emotional repression, and over-processing. Her work is for those ready to take full responsibility for their transformation, apply the practices with autonomy, and rise into embodied leadership, authentic expression, and soul-aligned impact.Together we explore how teachings from Ramana Maharshi and nonduality start to resonate, not through the mind's effort to “get it,” but through the body itself waking up.This conversation dives into how presence recognises itself, why intellectual understanding comes later in the journey, and what it means when the question “Who am I?” finally lands at a deeper stage of awakening.In this episode, you'll discover:-Why awakening isn't just an intellectual process-How the body “comes online” and shifts everything-The role of resonance in recognising presence-Why self-inquiry often arrives later in the path- How practice ripens recognition beyond the mindIf you've ever struggled to “understand” nonduality or wondered why the path feels backward at times, this dialogue will give you fresh clarity and encouragement.Connect with Alina Panteleev: Book a Clarity Call - https://presencealchemy.as.me/schedule/6ab7e889/appointment/30758776/calendar/6546380?appointmentTypeIds[]=30758776Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/soulfireunbound/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/alinapanteleev108YouTube-  @soulfireunbound  Websiteshttp://ilonaciunaite.comhttp://liberationunleashed.com

Selected excerpts of Ramana Maharshi's teaching taken from the text, Aham Sphurana. With thanks to John David for permission to read from this recently published text.https://www.amazon.com.au/Aham-Sphurana-Realisation-Selection-Teachings/dp/1916321178Ramana Maharshi ( 1879 -1950) was an Indian sage and jivanmukta (liberated being). He was born Venkataraman Iyer, but is mostly known by the name Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was born in Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, India. In 1895, an attraction to the sacred hill Arunachala and the 63 Nayanmars was aroused in him and in 1896, at the age of 16, he had a "death-experience" where he became aware of a "current" or "force" which he recognized as his true "I" or "Self".Music: Le Code - 'Ocean Shores'https://le-code.bandcamp.com/

In this recording from 1978, Ram Dass reads stories about his guru, Maharaj-ji, and his many miracles. We invite you to set aside your analytical mind and simply enjoy these miracles of love. This episode of Here and Now is from a recording of Ram Dass at the Lama Foundation in June of 1978. Here, he reads stories from the manuscript of Miracle of Love, which would be published about a year later. Ram Dass begins by reading one of his own stories about Maharaj-ji, which involves a dead bird coming back to life. This was one of many experiences that overwhelmed Ram Dass' analytical mind.Next, Ram Dass reads a series of stories from some of Maharaj-ji's oldest devotees. He dealt with each person in a unique fashion and would often touch places of the deepest love within people. Ram Dass slips in a story about another great Indian saint, Ramana Maharshi. He then turns back to Maharaj-ji stories, focusing on miracles around food. Maharaj-ji said, “We have an inner thirst for food. We don't know of it. Even if you don't feel you could eat, your soul has a thirst for food.”The Ram Dass community gathers regularly to engage in meaningful discussions about the podcast.

In the villages we live in, in the mountains, every family has dozens of these stories, and they just sit by the fire of the evening telling them. To come back to the West, where these stories are thought to be ‘miracles,' is very confusing sometimes, difficult to integrate.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

James Harpur's new book, "Dazzling Darkness: The Lives and Afterlives of the Christian Mystics", begins with an account of a mystical experience that happened to him - “an implosion of light”, as he describes it. That led to his book, Dazzling Darkness, in pursuit of the path that leads to ultimate reality: God.Mark Vernon's new book, "Awake! William Blake and the Power of the Imagination", is the result of Mark's engagement with his local mystic, William Blake, as well as practices based on encounters and texts including The Cloud of Unknowing.In this conversation they explore the nature of mystical experience, as well as the mystics that speak powerfully to them, from Saint Columba to William Blake, via Marguerite Porete and Teresa of Avila, Ramana Maharshi and Krishnamurti.For more on James's book, Dazzling Darkness - https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/dazzling-darkness/For more on Mark's book, Awake! - https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/awake/0:00 Two books on mysticism!01:55 James's mystical experience07:00 Mark's encounter through contemplative practice11:58 The Irish mystics that speak to James18:00 Living the porous life22:49 Mysticism after monasticism29:30 Church life and mystical life32:01 Seeking spiritual directors33:00 The voice of Krishnamurti40:32 The presence amidst the diversity42:30 What happens after the ecstasy?52:00 Sustaining the double vision

These profound practice teachings on freeing the mind from being ruled by thought, as taught by Sri Ramana, were taken from various sources/texts.Ramana Maharshi ( 1879 -1950) was an Indian sage and jivanmukta (liberated being). He was born Venkataraman Iyer, but is mostly known by the name Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was born in Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, India. In 1895, an attraction to the sacred hill Arunachala and the 63 Nayanmars was aroused in him and in 1896, at the age of 16, he had a "death-experience" where he became aware of a "current" or "force" which he recognized as his true "I" or "Self".

Host Michael Taft talks with author David Godman about the sage Ramana Maharshi and his nondual view of the world, whether he considered taking sannyasa (renunciation) to be necessary to achieve awakening, the power of the physical presence of the guru, Sri Ramana's seemingly miraculous learning of Sanskrit, an introduction to Lakshmana Swami—a very advanced student of Ramana, with whom David Godman sat in the 1970s and 80s, Tamil poetry of awakening, and—in a surprising reveal—David Godman endorses a new jnani who lives in Tiruvannamalai.David Godman has been living in India since 1976, studying and practising the teachings of Ramana Maharshi. During that period he has met and written extensively about many direct disciples of Sri Ramana, including Lakshmana Swamy, Muruganar, Papaji and Annamalai Swami. David has also been involved in several projects that have translated Ramana Maharshi's Tamil teachings and made them available in English for the first time. His anthology of dialogues with Sri Ramana, Be As You Are, is, outside India, the most widely-read book on Sri Ramana's teachings.https://www.davidgodman.org/You can support the creation of future episodes of this podcast by contributing through Patreon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep. 186 (Part 2 of 2) | In this lively, mind and heart-opening conversation, Miranda Macpherson, contemporary spiritual teacher and author, shares the extraordinary wisdom she has gained from experience—both from the initial life-changing transmission of boundless love she received in Ramana Maharshi's cave, and from the subsequent need for integration of the deeper truths that were revealed upon being called back “down the mountain,” back to the West to teach and serve. For her, the trick of navigating ordinary life without reconstructing an ego boiled down to three words: What's needed now? Miranda discusses how to show up in the world of today and not let resistance to right action win. “Wake up and love,” she offers. “Take inventory, ask, is there anything in the way of me being openhearted and awake in this moment?” She explains a practice she developed called ego relaxation, emphasizes the power of devotion—the source of strength, love, courage, and motivation—and shares several of the key questions she asks herself in her own practice to keep her receptive to existential grace. Miranda's inspiring teachings are infused with her foundational sense of divine benevolence; “Grace is alive!” she tells us.

Ep. 180 (Part 2 of 2) | In this podcast, John Prendergast, spiritual teacher, depth psychotherapist (retired), and prolific author, eloquently lays out the territory we encounter on the spiritual path as we move towards opening to our deepest ground. John defines deepest ground as “ungraspable and unfathomable, something we can know intimately as a quality of awareness, unbounded and open.” “When we touch into this,” he continues, “we move from a place of love, peace and groundedness.” In working with students and clients over four decades, John says the presence or absence of ground has been the most important theme. John has a gift for communicating exactly what is most useful for a spiritual practitioner to hear: taking an integral and nondual approach different from traditional psychotherapy, he invites us to evoke presence—welcome the experience, welcome the fear of annihilation—let go of ordinary knowledge and allow a translucent, transformative space to emerge around ordinary mind. Blending archetypal wisdom and guidance with spacious emptiness, John explains that opening to unbounded awareness supports the process of individuation and actualization; he also weaves in an intriguing version of the hero's journey, where the hero emerges from the underground, not as a figure of accomplishment and victory, but as a simple, humble being, void of ego. The rich wisdom and gentle guidance offered here is invaluable, worthy of listening to many a time.

Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to me with faith: "Thy will be done, You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say "You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention.

Every time you feel hurt, offended, or rejected, you have to dare to say to yourself: 'These feelings, strong as they may be, are not telling me the truth about myself. The truth, even though I cannot feel it right now, is that I am the chosen child of God, precious in God's eyes, called the Beloved from all eternity, and held safe in an everlasting belief." II Henri Nouwen"Once you find peace within yourself, you can find peace in the world. If you have equality within yourself, you will see equality in all lives. If you have purity in yourself, you will see purity in all lives. If you have love in yourself, you will see love in all lives. Whatever is in your heart is what you will see in the faces of others. When you look at them, you will see only your own reflection. Whatever fault you see in them really lies within you. When vou look at others, you only see your own reflection, not what is truly there. So correct yourself, and then you will see all lives as one. This is what Jesus (AS), Moses (AS), and Muhammad (Sal.) told us." -Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Questions of Life-Answers of Wisdom, Volume One, pp. 181-182"There is no greater fortune than peace. There is no greater force than peace." -Ramana Maharshi.

Send Rachel a text message.You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things; that is, of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self.—Ramana MaharshiWe continue our series on the Foundation of Self with the primary tool: Awareness. Awareness offers a pathway to understand both our conscious mind, behaviors, emotions, and our deeper universal connection to everything around us.• Awareness is the conscious act of placing our attention on something with metaconsciousness• Differentiating between the two selves: the small 's' ego self versus the capital 'S' true Self• Body awareness (interoception) helps us feel sensations and emotions rather than just thinking about them• All beings share the same universal consciousness, supported by concepts like quantum entanglement• Awareness helps detect when we're out of alignment so we can course-correct without judgment• The small 's' self speaks from fear while the capital 'S' Self offers compassionate perspective• Integrating both selves creates "Zorba the Buddha" – being fully human while maintaining spiritual awareness• We are generators of energy who create our world through how we choose to live in itHere's the link to the free download of Ramana Maharshi's book, Who Am I?Have a question?

Mick Brown's The Nirvana Express: How the Search for Enlightenment Went West (Oxford UP, 2023) is a riveting account about the West's engagement with Eastern spirituality across a century. It traces the life of multiple characters that intersected across time and space to create a network of interlinking stories about saints, salesmen and scoundrels all involved in spirituality. From Edwin Arnold, whose epic poem about the life of the Buddha became a best-seller in Victorian Britain, to the occultist and magician Aleister Crowley; and from spiritual teachers Jiddu Krishnamurti, Meher Baba and Ramana Maharshi to the controversial guru Rajneesh, The Nirvana Express is an exhilarating, sometimes troubling journey through the West's search for enlightenment.

In this podcast episode, Guy interviewed Lisa, who shared her profound journey of spiritual awakening and inner transformation. Lisa, who once identified as a home builder, golfer, and boater, experienced an immense shift that led her to become a proponent for world peace and healing. Her journey began after declaring an end to human suffering and immersing herself in prayer and contemplation. Lisa spoke candidly about her personal struggles, the catalyst that initiated her awakening, and the transformative power of connecting with a higher consciousness. This conversation covered the natural instincts that guided her, her contemplation practices, the physiological experiences during her awakening, and how it altered her perception of herself and the world. Lisa also discussed the challenges and rewards of this path, relationships, and the power of surrendering to a higher power. This episode offers an insightful perspective into the depths of human consciousness and the potential for self-discovery and healing. About Lisa: Lisa Rose is a former home builder, golfer, and boater. After an incredible and life-changing spiritual awakening in February 2016, Lisa took a leap into the unknown and began exploring spirituality and its physiological effects on the body. Below, you can read more about her life and the experience, in her own words. “Feb 2016.  I was sitting upon my bed, legs stretched out.  Suddenly I felt a sublime flash sensation where every particle of my body stood at attention, in recognition as if meeting their maker.  My eyes became clamped shut, something slid back in the middle of my head… very euphoric… then energy began gushing thru my crown.  A holographic image of Ramana Maharshi appeared behind my closed eyes along with a warmth that flooded my heart center and we shared telepathic communication.  After a few minutes the image faded, the energy subsided some 10mins later and my eyes unclamped. 3yrs prior I had declared myself irrevocably done with human suffering.  In resignation I surrendered my body-mind to my Creator and spent much time in intense contemplation of our Divinity… humanity's Omniscient, Infinite & Eternal nature. The experience was followed by 3yrs of Bliss, void of all desires and total detachment from the world, as well as unity with all things, especially earth and nature.  I encountered incredible things during this period which has given way to a complete shift in my perception and a deep sense of Universal Peace. The last couple years I've spent investigating things, mainly the Bliss, and marvelling at the incredible latent transcendent abilities of our body-mind organism.” Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - Beyond the Surface: Lisa Rose on Exploring Inner Consciousness (00:08) - Lisa's Journey to Courage (01:21) - A Shift in Perspective (03:02) - Turning Inward (04:57) - Discovering New Thought (09:12) - The Power of Contemplation (12:46) - The Awakening Experience (23:21) - A Profound Encounter (30:56) - Exploring the Mind-Body Connection (31:43) - Bridging Science and Spirituality (35:06) - The Power of Surrender (38:12) - Experiencing Bliss and Transformation (41:50) - The Role of Consciousness in Healing (45:15) - Sharing the Journey and Insights (58:24) - Encouragement for Inner Exploration How to Contact Lisa Rose:www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004071234132 About me:My Instagram: www.instagram.com/guyhlawrence/?hl=en Guy's websites:www.guylawrence.com.au www.liveinflow.co''

One of Bhagavan Ramana's Maharshi's favourite traditional spiritual works was the Ribhu Gita. He often referred to the Ribhu Gita in his talks with devotees and seekers, and is reported to have said that if one repeatedly read Chapter 26 of the Ribhu Gita one could pass spontaneously into Samadhi, or the natural state of Self- Realization. Ribhu Gita means "The song of sage Ribhu", who received the knowledge from Parama Siva, the supreme lord. It forms the sixth canto called Sankara of the hundred thousand verse epic Sri Siva Rahasyam.

I'm so excited to share this transformative conversation on how to create everyday miracles in your life now!   I had the privilege of sitting down with Hakim Hamza, bestselling author of The Eternal Within, for a deep dive into practical techniques, mindset shifts, and daily practices inspired by A Course in Miracles.    Whether you're new to the Course or a seasoned student, this conversation will give you powerful tools to elevate your everyday experience and transform your reality.   And help you experience more miracles! ⚡️   About Hakim Hamza: Hakim was born in 1987 to a Swedish mother and an Egyptian father, and  grew up in Sweden. Growing up multiculturally fostered a deep awareness of the vastness of human experience. Hakim holds a bachelor's degree in social psychology.   Driven by a profound yearning for something eternal that transcends limitations, I immersed myself in diverse Eastern philosophies. I have explored the teachings of Osho (Rajneesh), Papaji, Ramana Maharshi, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Acharya Prashant, and Adyashanti, among others. ​ Through this journey, he understood how spiritual truths can be applied to everyday life. Even though not Eastern, he finally found "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM) and the work of Dr. Kenneth Wapnick, who taught it. The Course has resonated with him more than any other teaching; hence, it has become his primary spiritual practice.
