Arunachala Ramana
Arunachala Ramana– author of American Mystic: Memoirs of a Happy Man

After his awakening A. Ramana created AHAM, the Association of Happiness for All Mankind, which offers a powerful and focused curriculum for personal awakening and transformation.
Ramana spoke on “blank-Inquiry” as being the most direct method of awakening consciousness and on how to use blank-Inquiry as a way to bring awareness to day-to-day questions and life challenges.
He had a deep connection to both Jesus and Ramana Maharshi and his commentaries on them distill the essence of their wisdom and paths to enlightenment.

Saroja
Saroja G. Poilblan – Biographer of American Mystic : Memoirs of A Happy Man – Meditation teacher and Practitioner in Emotional Healing - Weight Loss and Natural Health Coach
Saroja met A.Ramana in 1998 and heard over the years fragments of his life story. Finding the stories captivating and instructive, one day in 2008 she began the series of more than twenty interviews with A.Ramana.
The conversations mostly took place via Skype (on line, digitally recorded) except for the last interviews that were done face to face during her stay at the Arunachala Ramana Ashram the winter of 2009-2010.
The first 5 chapters had been completed at that time so she was able to read them to A. Ramana and received his blessing to complete the work.
For the last 30 years, Saroja has learned and practiced meditation and blank-awareness processes that truly help to understand human conditioning, the workings of the mind.
She trained at AHAM, the Association of Happiness for all Mankind, in techniques to assist seekers in their inner development. She completed her certification as a counselor and facilitator in Conflict Resolution and Mediation Institute of Conflict Resolution Studies in Ottawa.
