Explore the links here and repeated near the bottom of this long webpage for my recollections of being with Sri Nisargadatta, and my long article on several facets of Maharajs wisdom useful for helping professionals, as well as various collections of teachings and photos of the Maharaj. Every great once in a while, Absolute Awareness manifests within Its fascinating dream play a powerful dream figure to talk about the nature of the dream and to indicate the transcendent Absolute. Such a figure was Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, a sage of the highest order, a tremendously gifted teacher who spoke directly from Absolute pure Awareness, unborn Reality, and thus from real spiritual authority. The Maharaj was quite clear that all personalities, including his own, and all memories of personal history, are ultimately an illusion, devoid of any real, lasting substance, for there is only the one transpersonal Divine Self. When asked about his past, the Maharaj declared that there is no such thing as the pastnothing has ever really happened Bearing this in mind, we shall speak on the conventional level, the level of historical events within the dream of life, to note something of the sage Nisargadattas earth side history. His biography, which he himself once dismissed as a dead matter, is nevertheless useful in displaying or modeling for us the shining virtues of total dedication, one pointedness, faith in and obedience to the Inner Guru and outer Guru, self sacrifice, simplicity, loving kindness, and all embracing compassion. The body of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj ne. Maruti Sivrampant Kambli was born near dawn on the full moon day of Saturday, April 1. His deeply religious parents named him Maruti in honor of the festival that day honoring the birth of Hanuman, the fabled monkey king hero of the Ramayana epic poem, selfless helper of Lord Rama, and son of wind god Marut.

Though born in Bombay, second eldest of six children, Maruti was raised on a family farm in Kandalgaon, a rural village to the south in Maharashtras Ratnagiri District. This was because his father Sivrampant, who had been employed by a merchant in Bombay, had moved the family to the countryside in 1. We learn from a biographical booklet that Maharajs father Shivrampant Kambli and mother Parvatibai were both ardent devotees. They observed very rigorously the traditional fasts and holy days. They made no distinction as between Siva and Vishnu. His father loved to sing bhajans devotional songs, especially loudly as do the followers of the Varkari system. The Varkaris are mystics and devotees of Indias Maharashtra state, founded by the sage Jnanesvar 1. Tukaram 1. 60. 7 4. Sivrampant had in his possession a number of traditional holy books which he read regularly and devoutly. S. Gogate P. T. Phadol, Meet the Sage Shri Nisargadatta, p. In his youth, Maruti performed all the hard labors required by life on a farm. Though he received little or no formal education, he was exposed to spiritual ideas by quietly listening to and absorbing the conversations between his father Sivramprant and the latters friend, Visnu Haribhau Gore, a pious brahman. Sivrampant died in 1. Maruti came to Bombay after his older brother to find work to help support the family back home. At first he landed a job as an office clerk, but then he took the initiative to move out on his own, eventually becoming prosperous in business as the owner of a chain of small retail shops with 3. In 1. 92. 4, Maruti married a young woman named Sumatibai. Their family came to include a son and three daughters. At the continuing behest of his friend Yasvantrao Bagkar, in late 1. Maruti finally visited Sri Siddharamesvar Maharaj 1. Navnath Sampradaya, a line of householder gurus tracing its origins to legendary avataras Divine incarnations Gorakhnatha also sometimes traced further back to Lord Dattatreya. The Navnath lineage taught the sublime philosophy and direct, nondual realization of Absolute Being Awareness. On Marutis third visit to Sri Siddharamesvar or Siddharameshwar, he received instruction in meditation and formal initiation into the Navnath line Inchegeri branch. He was given a mantra, and, upon receiving it, began to recite it diligently. Within minutes, he inwardly experienced a dazzling illumination of varied colors and fell into samadhi, complete absorption into the unitary state of non dual awareness. Eventually Maruti became Siddharamesvars leading disciple. He totally obeyed his guru, doing or giving up whatever Siddharamesvar commanded, since the Gurus word was law unto him. The transformation in his character was so great that all of Marutis employees also became initiates of Siddharamesvar. After more than a year of association with Siddharamesvar, Maruti was asked to give spiritual discourses on numerous occasions. We learn, for instance, that he gave a series of 1. Bagkar in 1. 93. 5. Maruti began to impress people, not only with his cognitive understanding of spirituality but also his radiant exemplification of Truth. In those days, he gave spontaneous talks to anyone coming to his shop seeking his spiritual wisdom. Some brought their sick relatives to him, hoping for cures. He sent the afflicted to a cafe at the street corner, telling them to drink a glass of water thereinand in doing so, they were often healed. Siddharamesvar learned of this and asked Maruti to stop intending such healings, which are trivial in light of the need for spiritual awakening from the ultimate dis ease of identifying with the body mind personality. Nevertheless, over the years, many miracles and synchronicities still occurred. Maruti eventually took on the name Nisargadatta, meaning naturally nisarga given datta or, more loosely, one dwelling in the natural state. Nis arga literally means without parts, and suggests the unfragmented, seamless, solid Awareness of a sage. As he later told a dear disciple and successor, Jean Dunn At one time I was composing poems. Poems used to flow out of me and, in this flow, I just added Nisargadatta. I was reveling in composing poems until my Guru cautioned me, You are enjoying composing these poems too much give them up What was he driving atHis objective was for me to merge in the Absolute instead of reveling in my beingness. Consciousness and the Absolute The Final Talks of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, pp. Nisargadatta became primarily interested only in practicing the meditation as prescribed by his Guru and singing devotional bhajan songs. In his meditations, Nisargadatta experienced strange and colorful divine lights, various divine forms of God and saints, visions of beautiful landscapes never seen before, and deep trance states of samadhi. These manifestations of initial imbalance ceased after a while, giving way to absorptionslater, final absorptionin the utterly natural absorptive state of nisarga samadhi, or sahaja samadhi. This extraordinarily ordinary, unconditioned condition is formless Awareness abiding unto It.
