Abstract
This research paper investigates the underlying clash between materialism and
spiritualism in Raman Maharshi’s Who Am I?As an autobiography by a well known
Indian scholar and a sage, it answers to a set of questions on the self- inquiry.
Autobiography as such cultivates the ideas and themes bathing from the notion of
spiritualism. The researcher, here contemplates into the existing contradictions and
limitations of why Raman Maharshi, the author gives much emphasis on the spiritual
way of screening the life and universe from Arvind Sharma’s Predetermination and
Free Will in the Teachings of Raman Maharshiand J.C. Brand’s The Discovery of
the Raman Effect. In doing the research, basically what do I understand; as a
researcher is the analyzing the issues related to only one point of view would not do
justice rather it will arise further contradictions. This research renders to understand
the contradictions and find out the middle paths in between materialism and
spiritualism. The middle path generated will particularly solve the riddles seen in the
holistic approach to view the life and universe.
