“I Am Not The Doer.”
Life Positive|August 2018

Sri Dwaraknath, in conversation with Pradeep Krishnan, shares his views on Creation, karma, and God, influenced by the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi.

Pradeep Krishnan
“I Am Not The Doer.”

Sri V Dwaraknath Reddy, born in 1924, is a seeker, author, lover of nature, a humanist, and a poet. He is the former Chairman of the Nutrine Confectionery Company and, for decades, has been engaged in spreading the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. After three decades at the helm of the company, he had relinquished the corporate reins and settled in the vicinity of Ramanasramam, the spot sanctified by the continued presence of Maharshi.

Author of a dozen books on spirituality, like including The Dicey Problem of New Age Science, Birth, Play and Finale of Mind, The Physics of Karma, Death was never born, Life never died, Sri Reddy, a postgraduate in Chemical Engineering from the USA, is an original thinker and has the ability to lucidly explain complex ideas to the reader. In his writings, he blends rational precision with a deep understanding of philosophy, focused on the core teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Commenting on them, late M P Pandit, savant of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, says, “It is the authenticity of his experience - psychological and spiritual - that touches the reader and makes him as humble as the writer himself.”

Last year, during my annual pilgrimage to Sri Ramanasramam in Tamil Nadu, I had a chance to browse through his book Can God Improve my Balance Sheet? in the ashram library. “When you aspire to attain success like never before, your plan of action cannot be to conspire to make luck strike you and lightning strike your competitors! Though commendably simple and straightforward, the strategy is beyond your powers of manipulation. The success you desire must be won by invoking the inner potential in yourself. You must become the best you can be.”
