This book, Knowing the Unknowable Spirit, is a commentary on the Kena Upanishad. "Kena" means "by whom?"-a simple yet profound question that sets the stage for an inquiry into the nature of ultimate reality, Brahman, the source of all creation. The Kenopanishad, as it is called, challenges us to contemplate what power animates our senses, mind, speech, and actions. It uses a compelling parable of the gods to illustrate that Brahman cannot be grasped by the intellect or senses; rather, Brahman is the very source of these faculties. As with all Upanishadic teachings, its message is that the gods themselves do not matter it is the energy behind them that does. The Kenopanishad inspires us to look beyond the limits of perception and recognise that the divine is both the knower and the unknowable, the ultimate source of all existence.
RAM S. RAMANATHAN describes himself as a transmitter of ancient wisdom from various spiritual and cultural traditions, aligned with scientific research. Ram has experienced gamma-level meditation using chakra and Buddhist techniques, even before gamma brain waves were scientifically recognized and measured. Cautious and discerning, Ram only shares practices he has personally found safe.
In addition to his spiritual pursuits, Ram has been a corporate leader, business builder, former sanyasi (in training), coach, author, and, most importantly, a person who cherishes his wife, children, friends, and pets. His favourite quote is, "Learning from someone else's wisdom is futile unless you reflect, practice, and distill it into your own wisdom."
