Self Knowledge and Self Realization

This book offers a profound glimpse into the teachings and spiritual journey of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, a revered master of Advaita Vedanta and a disciple of Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj from the Navnath Sampradaya. Born in Bombay in 1897, Nisargadatta Maharaj lived a simple life as a businessman before embarking on an intense quest for Self-realization. After meeting his Guru in 1933, he pursued deep introspection, focusing on the pure sense of "I Am"-a direct path to discovering one's true nature. His teachings, free from religious dogma, emphasize self-inquiry, dispassion, and the immediacy of enlightenment. This edition includes Jean Dunn's insightful foreword, detailing Maharaj's later years, his interactions with seekers, and the evolution of his discourses-leading to seminal works like I Am That and Seeds of Consciousness. His powerful message-"You are the Self, here and now"-continues to inspire spiritual seekers worldwide.
