Nisargadatta Maharaj’s life was a wonderful example of a modern-day sage, one who lived the simple life of a shopkeeper and family man yet taught from the highest perspective of nondual realization. Maharaj’s books and teachings are popular among Western seekers because of their great clarity and direct approach to spiritual awakening.
Awaken to the Eternal contains comprehensive film footage footage of Nisargadatta Maharaj. The essence of his teachings is clearly presented, and several people discuss the significant impact of his presence and teachings in their lives. Included are interviews with Jack Kornfield, Jean Dunn, Stephen Wolinsky, and Robert Powell.
Take a privileged seat in Nisargadatta’s room in Bombay and join him in the midst of spirited conversation. Maharaj always spoke from direct spiritual experience, hammering away at the concepts that keep us from understanding what Truth and Freedom really are.
