Cathy/A REAL SPIRITUAL SEEKER

[Guest guest]

Hello Cathy,

 

Welcome to the Nisargadatta group. It's good to see you here.

 

A member on this list, Peter Whale, had asked a while back if anyone

in the group had contact with Nisargardatta " while he was in that

embodiment. " Since I had corresponded with you before I know that

you who met Maharaj in 1978 (and could very well be the only person

on this list who did).

 

Please tell us about your experience, perhaps in a series of emails,

as much time as you can afford.

 

One particular topic that I'm particularly interested in is Maharaj's

reaction to visitors who brought up topics from his classic " I am

That. " Did he ever make any comments that Maurice Frydman

mistranslated the original Marathi version?

 

Thank you so much,

 

Hur

 

PS Rather than replying to this email under the current subject, it

may be a good idea to rename the topic to something that would

indicate your direct encounter with Maharaj.
