For this volume, the strict rules of Tamil prosody have been relaxed in order to give added emphasis to phonetics and ease of elocution for those not conversant with South Indian languages. Brief introductions to each day's verses provide the history and circumstances surrounding their genesis. The appendix includes the transliteration of hymns regularly recited at Sri Ramanasramam.

Ramana Puranam cover

Ramana Puranam

In the 1920s and 30s Muruganar wrote Sri Ramana Sannidhi Murai, an anthology of devotional poems in praise of Sri Bhagavan that was modeled on the Tiruvachakam of Mickkavachagar.

While he was composing in Sri Bhagavan's presence, he took a break to go out and think about the title. When he returned to the hall, he was astonished to discover that Bhagavan had not only named the poem Ramana Puranam by writing this title on every page of the manuscript, he had also completed it by composing and adding about 300 additional lines.

Mr.Robert Butler, Dr.T.V.Venkatasubramanian and Mr.David Godman deserve the grateful thanks of all fellow devotees for translating and annotating this important text. It is now available to devotees who know English.

Sri Ramana Gita cover

Sri Ramana Gita

By B.V.Narasimha Swami, the author of Self- Realization. About the year 1930 while residing with the Master, the author, undertook a literary work - a recreation of Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni\'s Sri Ramana Gita in its original conversational, question-and-answer form. This enterprise was undertaken more than a dozen years after the conversations that comprise Sri Ramana Gita actually took place. With the help of the Maharshi and other devotees and with recourse to his own erudition, B.V.N. was able to recreate thirteen of the eighteen chapters. These are presented in this book. They use simple language and are easy to understand.

Who Am I? book cover

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 book cover

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.
