Works

Collected Works of Sri Ramana
by Sri Ramana Maharshi

“Ramana Maharshi (1879 -1950), a revered sage in India, resided in solitude on the Arunachala mountain in Southern India. People from all walks of life, from various countries, and diverse faiths sought his wisdom.

He communicated sparingly, relying on the profound power of his silence and presence. When he sensed a sincere query, he responded comprehensively in speech or writing.

This book encompasses all of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi’s compositions, including poetry and prose, along with translations of Advaitic texts he considered essential for attaining supreme Self-Realization. It serves as a potent and direct guide for Truth seekers and is a valuable addition to the world of Ramana Maharshi books.”

Padamalai

Padamalai Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi
Recorded by Muruganar

What is always natural to everyone is liberation, which is bliss.
Bondage is delusion of mind, a false sensation.
The ego alone is bondage, and one’s own true nature, free of the contagion of the ego, is liberation.
There is no greater deception than believing that liberation, which is ever present as one’s own nature, will be attained at some later stage.
Even the desire for liberation is the work of delusion.

Therefore, remain still.

Ramana Maharshi, taken from Padamalai

Padamalai is a significant Tamil work with nearly 2,000 teachings by Ramana Maharshi, meticulously recorded in two-line couplets by his disciple Muruganar. David Godman, a renowned author on Ramana Maharshi, has edited this English edition. It offers a fresh and unique presentation of Ramana’s teachings, organized by subject with added quotations, making it a valuable addition to the world of Ramana Maharshi books.

Ramana Maharshi and the Path of Self Knowledge

Ramana Maharshi and the Path of Self Knowledge
by Arthur Osborne

In this concise volume, the author distills the fundamental teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950), a revered Indian sage. Sri Ramana’s remarkable life story begins with his self-realization as a teenager, achieved through spontaneous self-inquiry, unaided by formal training or a teacher. He left his home in 1896, taking up residence near Arunachala (Tiruvannamalai), where he lived as a self-absorbed renunciant sage for an uninterrupted span of fifty-four years until his passing in 1950.

The author effectively conveys the enduring value of Sri Raman’s instructions to his early devotees, alongside the inclusion of Paul Brunton’s experiences. Sri Maharshi’s central message emphasizes that self-knowledge is not a new acquisition but rather an awareness of one’s innate state of Pure Being, attainable through self-inquiry. The author skillfully encapsulates the simplicity and profundity of this message.

Arthur Osborne (1906-1970), a devoted disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi, is renowned as the founder editor of the spiritual journal “Mountain Path” at Sri Ramanasramam. As an Oxford scholar, he transitioned to India in 1945, where he had the privilege of having darshan with Maharshi. Additionally, Osborne served as the editor of “The Collected Works of Ramana Maharshi” and authored works such as “Teachings of Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi in His Own Words” and others.

Heart is Thy Name

Heart is Thy Name, Oh Lord
by Bharati Mirchandani

“Moments of Silence with Sri Ramana Maharshi” is a beautifully presented book that skillfully combines photographs and quotations to capture the essence of Sri Ramana’s presence and teachings.

In 1934, the first Westerner to visit Sri Ramana Maharshi had a profound experience, noting the unwavering contemplative expression in the sage’s eyes. This encounter led to a realization that the body was merely a vessel for the Divine, radiating God’s presence. Many seekers then and now have felt this profound experience of “God radiating terrifically” in Sri Ramana’s presence. His Divine presence continues to offer hope, solace, faith, inspiration, and genuine spiritual experiences to people of all backgrounds.

Sri Ramana Maharshi’s simple and direct teachings provide a path for opening our hearts to the experience of the one self. In this pictorial book, Bharati Mirchandani beautifully combines both aspects of Sri Ramana Maharshi – his presence and his teachings. The book features portraits reflecting the sage’s diverse divine moods, along with scenes from the sacred surroundings of Arunachala, his blessed abode. This artful weaving of photos and quotes creates a work of exceptional beauty and profundity, effectively conveying the Master’s message.

A must-have for followers of Sri Ramana Maharshi, this book complements the bestsellers related to the sage available on Amazon.

This book, richly illustrated by Michael Highburger, reminds us of the transformative power of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s presence.

This edition, a companion to “Heart is Thy Name,” offers fresh insights into the Maharshi and the ashram, complemented by select passages from his works.

The captivating allure of Bhagavan’s form and teachings beckons us to leave the chaos of worldly life and bask in the light of his image and words. This book provides a glimpse of that blessing.

David Godman’s deep connection to Tiruvanamalai, the location of Sri Ramana’s ashram, has been a significant aspect of his lifelong work in this field.
