    Self-Inquiry

    I can remember many years ago reading and being inspired by Paul Bruntons "A Search In Secret India" and "A Message From Arunachala". These books tell about his discovery and times spent with Ramana Maharshi.

    People I admire: Mahatma Gandhi.

    There are many people I could name, but for this post I will say that I admire Crazy Horse. He was humble in his attire, had a strong sense of the sacred, and fought the righteous fight for his people, their culture, and their lands.
