Translations From the Writings
of Sri Ramana Mahashi 
Collected Works of Ramana Maharshi - Sri Ramansramam Edited by Arthur Osborne. A collection of English translations of all Sri Ramana Maharshi's Tamil works, including both his original compositions and others which he translated from different languages. The editor adds a short note before each entry explaining its genesis. In this new 1996 edition certain texts translated by Arthur Osborne have been replaced by those of Prof. K. Swaminathan, T. K. Jayaraman and Michael James. (New Indian Edition) 
Five Hymns to Arunachala, and Other Poems This is an English translation of the earliest of the Maharshi's poems. These poems, all written around 1914, were later collected and titled Sri Arunachala Stuti Panchakam. They consist of devotional hymns sung in praise of Arunachala, with directions for attaining the Supreme State. 
Revelation (Sri Ramana Hridayam) A Sanskrit verse-rendering of Sri Ramana Maharshi's Ulladu Narpadu (Forty Verses on Reality) and Anu-bandham (Supplement to the Forty Verses), with an English translation, authored by `Who' (K. Lakshmana Sarma), writer of Maha Yoga. 
Truth Revealed (Sad-Vidya) An English translation of Sri Ramana Maharshi's Ulladu Narpadu and Anubandham, each consisting of forty verses. In these verses, composed, selected and arranged by the Maharshi, the Ultimate Truth and the path leading to It is revealed. The introduction is by Grant Duff. 
Who Am I? About 1902 Sivaprasakam Pallai put several questions to the Maharshi and, since the Sage was not then speaking, they were answered in writing. These answers constitute the first set of instructions written by the Maharshi and remain the quintessence of all the teachings he gave thereafter. 
Words of Grace Nan Yar? (Who am I?) and Vichara Sangraham (Self-Enquiry) constitute the first set of instructions in the Maharshi's own words, written by him between 1900 and 1902. These two are the only prose compositions among Bhagavan's works. They clearly set forth the central teaching of Self-Enquiry as the direct path to liberation. Upadesa Manjari (Spiritual Instruction) is the reply to seventy questions put to the Maharshi by Natananandar. Words of Grace is a valuable English translation of these three works.
