Scriptures & Spiritual Texts  Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi FAQs  FAQ

Where can I find reliable recordings of his satsangs and darshan sessions?

Several streams lead straight to authentic satsangs and darshan sittings of Sri Ramana Maharshi:

  1. Sri Ramanasramam’s Official Archive
    • Website (ramanasramam.org) hosts digitized pamphlets and the complete “Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi” transcripts.
    • A growing Audio-Visual section now includes daily darshan livestreams and carefully remastered MP3s from the Ashram’s old tape library.

  2. YouTube & Social Media Channels
    • “Sri Ramanasramam” on YouTube offers real-time darshan (camera fixed on the Samadhi shrine), plus a playlist of past sessions.
    • The Ashram’s Facebook page often shares short clips of morning and evening gatherings—perfect for a quick infusion of quietude.

  3. Archival Repositories
    • Archive.org holds scanned notebooks of devotees who jotted down Maharshi’s replies. Many uploads include timestamps and cross-references to the printed Talk volumes.
    • The British Library’s “Spiritual East” digital collection and India’s National Archive of Sound & Vision have searchable files labeled under Ramana Maharshi.

  4. Streaming Platforms & Apps
    • On Spotify and Apple Podcasts, look for “Ramana Maharshi: Talks & Bhajans”—uploaded by the Ramanasramam Trust with studio-grade remastering.
    • Smartphone apps such as “Self-Inquiry Bhajans” link directly to Ashram-approved audio snippets and chant tracks.

  5. Regional Centres and Study Groups
    • London’s Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning and the Ramana Maharshi Centre in Australia both maintain small lending libraries of cassettes and CDs, now being converted to USB sticks on request.

A quick tip: genuine recordings always mention the Ashram Trust or bear the Ramana Maharshi seal on PDFs and audio metadata. That way there’s no hunting for a needle in a haystack—just straight, unfiltered echoes of his timeless silence.
