What Am I

A sage, a visionary and a reformer, Pandit Shriram Sharma initiated a movement for mass transformation. He lived a disciplined life of devout austerity, visited Himalayas several times and attained spiritual eminence.


His literature is a wonderful confluence of sagacity, versatility and lucidity. His writings seem to carry a vital force that induces vibrant thoughts and engrossing joy in the reader's mind and heart.

Without having any formal education beyond primary school, he has written on nearly 3000 topics spanning wide-ranging aspects of human life. Some of his books deal with in-depth and rare piece of knowledge in simple language, while some provide practical solutions to day-to-day problems, and some others focus at resolving global challenges faced by the world today.

In this book, Acharyashri has raised the basic questions: Who are we? What is the purpose of human life? What is the genesis of ignorance and suffering? What is the way back to our true Home?…... Gently and persuasively – sometimes teasingly and provokingly – through a process of negation and elimination, Gurudev guides the seeker through the maze of false identification as 'I' with the body, mind, intellect to the border line of our True Self–The Ineffable Supreme Being and Spirit in whom the whole play of manifestation of multitudinous ephemeral names and forms takes place and of whose Light we, human beings, are sparks – basically inseparable from and one with It, with its fundamental attributes of Sat-Chit–Anand.
