Writings on Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj by Jean Dunn

 

Below in PDF file are the journals of Jean Dunn from 1977 to 1981, in which she writes in detail of her time with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, and includes dialogues that she and others had with Maharaj that have rarely been made public. Copies of these journals have been informally and freely circulating for decades, under the title "Jean's Journals" among those who are students and practitioners of Advaita Vedanta, and particularly of those who have been inspired by and connected to Nisargadatta Maharaj and other sages.




Jean Dunn was the editor of three books of dialogues with Nisargadatta Maharaj that are regarded as classics, titled "Seeds of Consciousness", "Prior to Consciousness", and "Consciousness and the Absolute". After Maharaj's passing, and on his authorization, Jean would meet with those who would come to her seeking guidance.  This edition of Jean's Journals is complete, unedited, and unaltered.  Nothing is left out from the original manuscript that has been circulating, and it includes an article that Jean Dunn wrote on Nisargadatta Maharaj that was published in the Mountain Path journal in the October 1978 issue—it also includes an interview with Jean Dunn done by Malcolm Tillis which was published in his book "Turning East".
