About
Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897–1981) was an Indian spiritual teacher of Advaita Vedanta who lived and taught in a small apartment in the back streets of Mumbai. A simple shopkeeper by trade, his dialogues with visitors were recorded in the classic 'I Am That,' which introduced his radical non-dual teachings to the West. His direct, uncompromising pointing to pure awareness beyond all concepts continues to influence seekers worldwide.
