Many seekers eventually run into the same wall. You have read the books, listened to the talks and perhaps sat through the retreats. The words make sense, yet the question stays open: Who am I?
Reading alone rarely settles questions like this. They need to be spoken aloud, met with another question, and turned over in real time with someone willing to look at them with you. That is why I offer one-on-one nonduality dialogues on Zoom for sincere seekers anywhere in the world.
What is a Nonduality Dialogue?
It is a genuine philosophical conversation. It is not a lecture, a guided meditation or a course with a syllabus.
You bring your questions, your doubts and the places where your inquiry has stalled. We work through them together, in whichever register serves you: classical Vedantic vocabulary or plain, everyday conversation. There is no fixed doctrine and no agenda. The inquiry goes where it needs to go.
I should be clear about what I am not. I am not a guru, and I don’t claim to guide you anywhere. I am someone who found that the question itself, Who am I?, is the doorway. If something in you is already leaning toward it, that is enough to begin.
The Lineage Behind the Conversation
The dialogue sits within Advaita Vedanta, the non-dual understanding that the Self is not a person or a body-mind but pure awareness itself. It draws on the teachers who have shaped my own inquiry most deeply:
- Ramana Maharshi: self-inquiry as the direct path
- Nisargadatta Maharaj: the primacy of “I Am”
- J. Krishnamurti: choiceless awareness and the observer
- Shankara: the classical Advaita of non-difference
- Gaudapada: the Mandukya Karika and the nature of appearance
Who Am I?
I’m Sam, Dr. D. Samarender Reddy. I trained as a physician (MBBS) and later studied economics (MA, Johns Hopkins University). I have worked as an editor, content creator and columnist. None of that is my present vocation. This is.
I have been a long-term student of these teachings for many years. I write about them here on this blog, and my books on self-inquiry, non-doership and the nature of the Self are available on Amazon and as free PDF downloads on this site.
How a Session Works
- Book a slot. Choose the session that fits where you are. No preparation is needed, so arrive as you are.
- Meet on Zoom. We begin with whatever is alive for you: a question, a stuck point, or simply openness.
- Let the inquiry unfold. There is no outcome to reach. The conversation moves at the pace of real understanding.
- Leave with something real. Not always an answer. Sometimes it is a cleaner question, a loosened assumption, or a shift in how the territory looks.
Two Ways to Meet
Single Dialogue (60 minutes, ₹2,500). A focused conversation for a specific question, a point of confusion, or a thread you want to follow properly.
Deep Dive (120 minutes, ₹4,000). Unhurried time for layered questions and territory that keeps opening. Some conversations don’t want to be rushed.
Both are one-on-one, over video call, and open to seekers in any time zone.
Is This for You?
It may be if:
- You are new to nonduality and want a patient, jargon-free starting point.
- You are a long-time reader of Ramana, Nisargadatta or Krishnamurti whose understanding has stayed intellectual.
- Your inquiry has stalled and you want a real interlocutor, not another book.
- You have no specific question yet, only a quiet pull toward the question of who you are. That is a perfectly good place to begin.
You need no background in philosophy or Vedanta.
A Note on What This Is Not
These sessions are philosophical dialogue. They are not psychological counselling, and I am not acting as a therapist or physician. If you are going through a mental health crisis, please reach out to a qualified professional or a crisis helpline first. I will gladly talk philosophy once you are supported.
Begin Where You Are
The question is already here. It has been here all along, waiting for you to look at it directly.
