Advaita Bodha Deepika, The Lamp of Non-Dual Knowledge

All is One

This work, titled Ellam Ondre, was originally written by an unknown 19th Century author in Tamil.

Annamalai Swami has said that the Maharshi "laid particular stress on Ellam Ondre, telling me, 'If you want moksha, write, read and practise the instructions in Ellam Ondre.'"

Periya Puranam,

The Periya Puraanam is the song describing the lives of sixty-three Saivite saints of the ancient Tamil land, sung by a poet-saint himself. In the source biography of Bhagavan, "Self-Realization, we read: "Towards the end of 1895 (perhaps a few months after hearing about Arunachalam from a relation) he found at home a copy of the Periya Puraanam and was awe struck by the life of these remarkable saints." Throughout his life he never tired of telling the stories that he first read as a boy in Madurai.

Ribhu Gita, The Sixth Amsa of Siva Rahasyam

The first complete Edition, with English Translation, Transliteration and original Sanskrit Texti.

In the 50 chapters of the Ribhu Gita, the full spectrum of spiritual knowledge is imparted . this Gita describes the direct experience of the Self and its means of attainment. Though the Truth cannot be described in words, words can guide the ripe aspirant to the direct experience of Truth by the total absorption in the Self. That is the sole theme of this comprehensive scripture.

There is no greater testimony to the unique value of the Ribhu Gita than the fact that Bhagavan Ramana himself told one of his devotees: "It does not matter if you do not understand the text. Read through it anyhow. It will be of immense benefit to you." He also has said that the recitation of the Ribhu Gita is as good as samadhi itself, and he took part in reciting it with his devotees.

MP3 CD: Along with this book you will receive an 11-hour audio recording of all the Sanskrit verses, beautifully rendered by Dr. Lingeswara Rao.

Sivabhakta Vilasam    

Sri Bhagavan had scanned through the various versions of Peria Puranam in Sanskrit to delineate all those incidents connected with the Nayanmars (devotees of Siva) that are not found in the Tamil text. When he narrated these stories in his own innimitable style, the spellbound audience would be transported to the actual scenes of those events. These stories were little known then, yet they carry a profound significance by being closely related to his own birthplace and the course of his own spiritual journey.

Buddhism and Christianity in the Light of Hinduism

Arthur Osborne has in this deceptively simple but profound exposition highlighted the essential unity of Buddhism and Christianity.

But Hinduism, if properly understood, is an umbrella that covers all formulae for worship, and the core truth of all religions leads to the same goal. Religion is what mankind creates. Advaita is what we truly are

His indubitable versatile genius, keenness of perception, powers of intellect and intuition made him the most prolific Sanskrit writer of the 20th century.

Ramana Smrti- Birth Centenary Souvenir

There are four fascinating parts to this book. The first contains insightful writings by many devotees who had personal contact with the Maharshi and received his Grace. The second provides thirteen intimate accounts of those fortunate souls - women devotees, in particular - who lived and served alongside the Master, receiving invaluable spiritual guidance and practical counsel for daily living. These memorable stories can be read repeatedly with enduring delight.

The third part consists of offerings by sincere devotees, many of whom had not met the Master physically, but had otherwise imbued direct guidance and inspiration from him. They are a pointed reminder of how the power of the Master's personality continues to shine through those who turn to him with sincerity and faith.

The fourth and final part lays out a concise description of Tiruvannamalai, the great temple, the holy Arunachala Hill, the ancient festivals of the town, Sri Ramanasramam and its activities and other points of interest to all visitors to this holy place of pilgrimage. Although written by a prominent devotee over 30 years ago, the descriptions remain perfectly relevant today.
