"Sweetness is his nature" - (By Pingali Surya Sundaram)

Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi is embodiment of “Advaita” (Monoism). He is living embodiment of the principles of Adi Sankaracharya.

Sri Ramana attained Self-Realisation without any Sadhana (Spiritual practice or effort) or Upadesham (Preaching). At that time he did not possess any basic knowledge nor did he know one single word Brahman (the Supreme). He is remaining in that blissful state for more than half a century in the living form, preached to the seekers.

Sri Ramana did not give initiation to anybody. But after his leaving the body, he blessed few great souls by giving vision (dharshan). He awakened the spiritual power which rested in the sleeping state of these great and blessed souls, Sri Jinnuru Nannagaru is one.

From nearly half a century Sri Nannagaru by his compassionate nature in his special manner is giving discourses mainly based on Sri Ramanas teachings, subtle gross and the quality of goodness. He uses very simple language and does not use any words or sentences from any Shatras (Basic knowledge). He refers and teaches from the situations in our daily life, conduct and behavior pattern for our spiritual progress which directly enter into our heart. He proves that for spiritual progress Shastra knowledge is not the only requirement. But this does not mean that Sri Jinnuru Nannagaru does not possess Shastra knowledge which is clearly revealed in this book.

“Adi Sankara Tatva Bhodha” and “Viveka Chudamani” are the two famous books on which questions were asked by a seeker and this book is a collection and union of answers and nearly in all answers Sri Ramana Maharshi is seen. This is the specialty of this book.

It was the desire of Sri Jinnuru Nannagaru that I should write the introduction note for this book. I humbly accept the honor and goodness extended to me and express my whole hearted gratitude for giving me this opportunity

"My Impressions of Sri Nannagaru" - (By Sri Pingali Surya Sundaram)

We do come across persons of different attributes. Some have a sweet tongue, some a delicate look, some others a kind disposition, yet others a love filled heart, some with an unselfish love, some with a simple life style, some whose acquaintance is invaluable, and some whose company is enchanting.

These diverse attribute, either singly or two or three together, are seen among many individuals. But a person in whom all these qualities are present in is indeed very rare. Sri Nannagaru is one such rare person. He is an extraordinary personage.

Sri Nannagaru has experienced the state of bliss, so assiduously taught by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and has sought to share his state of happiness with one and all. Such is his generosity.



The teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi though apparently simple are very subtle. Sri Nannagaru has always striven to explain them even to ordinary lay persons irrespective of their intellectual level. He brought Sri Bhagavan very close to the Telugu knowing people. As a teacher of this type he is unique.

Sri Nannagaru has proved by example that a householder’s life is not inconsistent with spirituality. In that sense he is an ideal house holder.

For over forty four years, since he had the blessed vision of Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Nanna Garu has dedicated himself to disseminating Sri Bhagavans teaching in Andhra. If in rural Andhra almost every household has a picture of Sri Bhagawan it is not a little due to the influence of Sri Nannagaru.

May Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi continue to shower Sri Nanna Garu with his grace.
