Publisher's Synopsis
Texts and images that reach straight to the heart. Luis de Santiago is a teacher in the Advaita tradition of Ramana Maharshi and his devotee Robert Adams. Luis was Robert's disciple and spent two years with him in Los Angeles. A filmmaker and photographer by profession, Luis de Santiago lives in La Coruña, Spain. Luis makes himself available to all those who earnestly wish to realize their true identities. Luis teaches only from direct experience and is fluent in Spanish as well as English. He prefers small groups and emphasizes the importance, recognized for thousands of years, of direct contact with a teacher, as opposed to knowledge gained from books, recordings or videos. Luis discovered the teachings of Ramana Maharshi when he was a teenager in Venezuela. He met his teacher and friend Robert Adams in California and spent two years sitting at his feet every Thursday and Sunday, enjoying his presence and his silence, as Robert had very advanced Parkinson's disease and could hardly speak. Luis's moment of realization came in his hometown, La Coruña, while caring for his terminally ill wife, Bibiana. After several years he quietly began to teach and now has a following on both sides of the Atlantic, in countries as diverse as Mexico, and the Republic of Ireland.
