Biography

Ananta is a disciple of Mooji. His spiritual quest began in 1998, at the age of 23.

He spent the initial few years involved with Sri Sri Ravishankar's Art of Living Foundation. At one point, he seriously contemplated becoming a teacher of the Art of Living, but life led him in a different direction when he came across the teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj and later, Ramana Maharshi and Papaji.

He was deeply inspired by Nisargadatta's book "I Am That". He also spent some time with Ramesh Balsekar and occasionally attended his satsangs in Mumbai.

His search finally led him to his guru, Mooji, in January 2009. The instant Ananta met Mooji he felt a deep sense of having come home. He experienced a complete sense of surrender to Mooji and in his presence, he felt he discovered that which he was seeking. With Mooji's blessings, Ananta has been sharing satsangs since 2013.

Teachings

'Don't believe in your next thought' - With this simple, immediate and direct pointing Sri Ananta guides sincere spiritual aspirants to awaken to our ever-present innate Godliness.

Few pointings of Sri Ananta are:

-The instant we label something as 'I', the 'Other' is born. That is duality.

-Through all our stories, beliefs and appearances, we have been the untouched awareness. Nothing can change that.

-Let all feelings and thoughts dance for you; you don't dance for them. This entire creation is a dance which appears for you; you don't dance for it. You are the steady one.

-If you were to believe in any choice at all, then believe in the choice of letting go of your thoughts. It is the simplest and most powerful practice.

-Let everything be exactly as it is. It's not something to do in the future, but right now. Leave everything exactly as it is.

-Stop everything. For a moment lets sit together with nothing. Nowhere to go, nothing to do. Everything gone, nothing remains. Taste this moment, this is joy. This is where we meet and forever rest in peace. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti

"The root of all of your problems

If you are unattached

then bliss is your very nature.

The Dance of Life

Submitted by veetman on Fri, 06/20/2008 - 07:14.

Every soul is an expression of divine consciousness. The soul's individuality provides the distinctions required for the drama of life to unfold; the appearance of separation is a prerequisite for all interaction in the dance of life.
We are multidimensional beings with separate bodies, minds and souls. At the level of consciousness, however, we are all part of the eternal One, God-the-beyond.
This underlying oneness is revealed more and more as we grow slowly but inexorably in awareness and love. With the flowering of enlightenment, oneness becomes your everyday experience of divine life - in the ecstasy of freedom from yourself.
The purpose of life after enlightenment is to enjoy the wonder of oneness, love and bliss - and to be helpful to friends who are still suffering.

— Maitreya Ishwara

Lord Krishna says,"The Imperishable One,the Omnipresent Being--He pervades the whole universe--nothing can destroy that."Forms undergo destruction,but the essence of Reality that pervades the universe is changeless.The Vedic Sage declares,Hear me,O children of immortal Bliss,those that dwell in this universe,those that dwell in the world beyond,hear me;I have realized that Supreme Being,the Self-effulgent One,beyond all darkness,resplendent like the glorious sun.By knowing Him alone one goes beyond death.There is no other way out of death.
