Consciousness Strikes

An abhanga represents the spontaneous outpouring of a keen spiritual seeker. For centuries, abhangas have served as succinct and direct pointers to Reality.The format of the abhanga is simple, easy to understand: a few lines dealing with a particular aspect of the Understanding, followed by a forceful summation akin to an arrow that embeds itself in the heart, circumventing the intellect. In some cases, the abhanga bursts forth when the arrow finds its mark.In Consciousness Strikes, Shirishkumar S. Murthy presents, in the abhanga format, the quintessence of the teachings of the contemporary sage Ramesh Balsekar.
