Dear Gabriele,

 

Thanks for the posting. This is a good page with many valuable

resources.

 

May I suggest that you also set a link also to SAT:

www.SATRamana.org SAT is focused on Ramana, and the practice of self-

inquiry, as taught by Ramana.

 

Thank you again for that nice ceocities page.

 

We are Not two,

Richard
