unMind - the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi Podcast artwork

My spiritual journey found its shore when I discovered the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Here it was — the complete, direct answer to man’s eternal search for peace and happiness. This is my attempt to get his teachings (and that of other advaita gurus) to you in the way I understand them. I often use stories (and Zen koans) to illustrate a point; you'll also find references to Hindu, Zen and Buddhist spiritual treatises.
