Abide As That | Free Book
Jason Brett Serle
There are some writings that transcend time and tradition and speak to
the ever-present heart of the human experience. Simple yet profound,
challenging yet compassionate, the Song of Ribhu is one such example
of this. In the same tradition as the Bhagavad Gita or the Ashtavakra
Gita, the Ribhu Gita, literally the Song of Ribhu represents the
highest declaration of Advaita Vedanta, spoken by the enlightened sage
Ribhu to his disciple Nidagha on the slopes of Mount Kedara in the
Himalayas. Some 2,500 years later, another awakened master, Sri Ramana
Maharshi was touched by these same words, considering them to be one
of the most sublime expressions of the awakened state that humanity
had ever produced. He spoke of it reverently and would even give
copies to his devotees to read. The version that follows is a
selection, made by Sri Ramana Maharshi himself, of 45 verses that
capture the very essence of the Ribhu Gita - an essence that this
fresh and masterful modern translation manages to communicate in
simple and elegant English, perfectly adapted to the Western reader.
The book also contains the story of Ribhu and Nidagha as told by Sri
Ramana Maharshi, as well as excerpts from informal talks with his
students to further clarify the themes.
