Self-Inquiry (Atma Vichara)

Ancient meditation practice of turning attention inward to discover one's true nature through the persistent inquiry 'Who am I?', as taught by sage Ramana Maharshi.

Sitting in profound silence, you turn the mind's spotlight inward, gently asking the eternal question: 'Who am I?' This is Self-Inquiry (Atma Vichara), a radical meditation practice that bypasses intellectual understanding to reveal your essential nature.

Popularized by the revered Indian sage Ramana Maharshi, this direct path strips away layers of false identification with thoughts, emotions, and sensations. By persistently tracing every experience back to its source, practitioners discover the unchanging awareness at their core.

Spiritual seekers, meditators, and those questioning their fundamental nature are drawn to this practice. Through sustained inquiry, they report profound shifts in identity, dissolution of psychological suffering, and direct recognition of their true Self beyond all concepts and beliefs.
