Nisargadatta Maharaj started speaking sometime in the early 1950s. Initially he would speak on popular scriptures like Sage Eknath’s Bhagwat and Sage Ramdas’ Dasbodh. A few years later the subject matter of his talks spontaneously broadened up and by mid-1950s Maharaj was speaking less about the scriptures and more from his direct experience.
For over two decades Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj gave discourses at five o’clock every evening at his home in Mumbai. Smt. Jayashri Gaitonde found these talks so interesting that she resolved to try her utmost not to skip a single one. Maharaj spoke in Marathi, the local language of Bombay city, and generally someone reliable would be chosen by Maharaj to translate his words into English.
This book is a collection of mesmerizing personal accounts of not just Maharaj’s closest disciples such as Mohan and Jayashri Gaitonde, Saumitra Mullarpattan, Dr. Vanaja Narayanswami, Catherine Boucher, Mai, Anil Chube and Dinkar Kshirsagar but also of seekers like Ramana Maharshi’s grandnephew V. Ganesan, renowned author David Godman, Dutch Advaita Master Alexander Smit and several others.
Pythagoreanism is sometimes called ‘number mysticism’, and Pythagoras attached great importance to the numbers three and seven,
and to the laws governing musical notes. Gurdjieff had also spoken of the “law of three” and the “law of seven”. The law of three states that all creation involves a “third force”.
