I remembered this video today which shows Ramana Maharshi experiencing a kriya (head shake) during meditation:

Thank-you aglorincz, for the link to the video on Ramana Maharshi.  I enjoyed watching it. Ramana Maharshi was a great inspiration on my spiritual/contemplative journey; however, the shaking head of Ramana Maharshi that appears in 2 separate segments does not appear to be the product of a deep meditation experience, because in either case he does not seem to be meditating.  In fact in one case he is reading the newspaper.  His shaking head, therefore is more likely the product of alzheimer's syndrome.
