(Part-3 of 7) The Essence of the Ribhu Gita by N.R. Krishnamurthy Aiyar

Bhagavan Ramana encouraged the translator N.R. Krishnamurthy Aiyer to study the Ribhu Gita as his sadhana. Ramana use to say that the recital itself leads to spontaneous abidance in the Self and I have found this to be true.
Being a devout student of the classic text, and through the grace of His Master, he is fully competent to translate it. We are now fortunate to have this rare and beautiful translation in our midst.
Professor N. R. Krishnamoorthi Aiyer was the Head of the Department of Physics in the American College, Madurai. He was steeped in the objectivity of modern science and has had close contacts with a large section of enlightened American Professors. He is thus a physicist with an appreciation for scientific precision and accuracy. Since he is an advanced spiritual adept as well, he is able to strike a remarkable equilibrium between. science and spirituality, not just theoretically, but practically too. Sincere aspirants owe a deep sense of gratitude to him for both the great precision and spiritual insight with which he has been able to capture the essence of the original text.
I have slightly modified this translation, since English is not the first language of the Professor, adding only clarity to several parts.

In June, the channel may be on hiatus for new recordings. The vision for later in the summer includes again recording: Day by Day with Bhagavan and Letters from Sri Ramanasramam and also starting the small book: In Days of Great Peace...all books that outline life at the ashram during the 1940s.
Also, I may be recording some of my own material as well.
