Hello, and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today I am going to discuss why Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj’s ideas are nihilistic, and I will also show how Sri Nisargadatta’s lack of personal power is the reason for his failure to realize enlightenment.
And before I start this podcast I want to say that if you are a follower of Sri Nisargadatta, understand that this is not intended as a personal attack, my only intent is to save you time by pointing out philosophies or gurus that will trip you up. I respect your valuable time, your valuable awareness and my only intent is to point out the potholes in the road on your journey.
So keep an open mind and if you are feeling triggered, then pause the podcast and take a few deep breaths, and remind yourself that we all have one common enemy “which is our selves” and then listen until the end of the podcast before you pass judgment
Nisargadatta Maharaj (17 April 1897 – 8 September 1981), born Maruti Shivrampant Kambli, was an Indian guru of nondualism, belonging to the Inchagiri Sampradaya, a lineage of teachers from the Navnath Sampradaya and Lingayat Shaivism.
The publication in 1973 of I Am That, an English translation of his talks in Marathi by Maurice Frydman, brought him worldwide recognition and followers, especially from North America and Europe.
So why would I call Sri Nisargadatta a nihilistic guru, and it’s not because of his talks, although there is a nihilistic tone there, but really most philosophies have a nihilistic tone, it’s really how you interpret what is said that adds the context.
Why I say that Sri Nisargadatta was Nihilistic listen to the podcast, and let me know in the comments what you think.
