Papaji and the Buddha: A Talk by David Godman

This is a talk I gave outside my Tiruvannamalai home in February 2019. I look a little gaunt and thin because a few days before I had been discharged from hospital after having a total knee replacement. I apparently now look much better. The texts that I read from can be obtained from the Avadhuta Foundation in Boulder, CO, USA. avadhuta.com/nothing-ever-happened-volume-1/ avadhuta.com/nothing-ever-happened-volume-2/ avadhuta.com/papaji-interviews/ The three volumes of Nothing Ever Happened, my biography of Papaji, will be available from my site in a few weeks’ time. The film of Papaji reminiscing about his early exposure to Buddhism can be viewed here:    • PAPAJI - Buddha   And a fuller account of Swami Ramanananda Giri can be found here. sri-ramana-maharshi.blogspot.com/2010/04/swami-ram… Thanks to Jussi for arranging the talk and for looking after the subtitling on all my Youtube films. And thanks to Jukka for filming and editing the film.
