Born in 1924, a post-graduate in Science (L.S.U., USA), Dwaraknath Reddy was thirty five when relentless life raised haunting questions about Creator and created, birth and death. About ultimate meanings and methods that encompass all our lives. He listened, studied, contemplated, and remained alertly concerned. Prosperity, position and prestige came, but there was a soul in search of its beginnings in order to unravel its ends.
He understood that the relative cannot contain the Absolute. The 'knower' is not a thing amongst the known. Consciousness is not an effulgence from matter. In the mind and through the mind, must the riddle be solved. This calls for transcendence from objective knowledge to subjective experience.
He came across the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, the great sage of the 20th century, and was flooded with an inner conviction that Ramana was the epitome of all scriptures and proof of their promise of attainable perfection, the abidance in the Absolute.
He therefore lives and strives as a seeker at the sanctified shrine, Sri Ramanashramam, at Tiruvannamalai, South India.
