The Periya Puranam is a classical Tamil scripture that describes the lives of 63 Saivite saints.Down through the centuries it has had immense influence over the devotional tradition of Saivism in South India. Towards the end of 1895,Sri Ramana Maharshi,(then known as Venkataraman) found at home a copy of the Periya Puranam.He picked it and,being the first religious book he had ever read,was transported to a hitherto unknown sphere of existence. Waves of admiration,awe,reverence,sympathy and emulation swept over his soul in succession. It was not long after this book that the boy Venkataraman,fully absorbed in the effulgence of the Self,made his way to Arunachala.Through out the next fifty-four years of his life,the sage of Arunachala,never tired of recalling the stories of these saints and reciting their inspired poetry with deep emotion.

Arunachala is an immortal light.A column of fire that existed before time began,the light shone in order that all those lost in worldly forgetfulness might remember their true home.Arunachala is a lingam-a sign or symbol of the divine-and by tradition is considered to be Lord Siva Himself.But as an icon to the underlying presence,the original light of consciousness that undergrids and illumines the reality,Arunachala is the paradigmatic symbol of the Self,the fire of wisdom that promises to burn away the veils of illusion and ignorance. The present edition blends images of the Holy Hill,Guru Ramana,Arunachala Temple and Sri Ramanasramam,with the sayings of the saints and scriptures including Bhagawan's own verses written in praise of the mountain.In essence the book probes the question,What is Arunachal if not one's own self?This is Bhagawan's teaching to pay homage to one of the facets of Holy Aruna Hill is verily to venerate Sri Ramana's own truest form

For Those With Little Dust/Selected Wiritings Of Arthur Osborne

Arthur Osborne

Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi preached silence by observing it Himself and Ashramites,aspiring for spiritual advancement sat at the holy feet of Bhagavan,imbibing the lessons of that silence. Occasionally,Bhagavan spoke on spirtual matters.On such occasions,a few devotees recorded whatever He said: and amongst them Nagamma,compiler of these letters,was one. When Nagamma became an asramite,she renounced everything and whilst sitting at the feet of the mastershe felt an irresistible urge to record the disussions devotees were having with Him and,and as she began recording them,found that this work was a sort of sadhana for herself and so began writing them in the shape of letters to her brother inMadras.273 letters were thus written-each one shown to Bhagavan for any corrections before being posted. The ashram published the first 75 letters during the life time of Bhagavan and they were read out in his presence.The remaining 198 letters were published susequently in four different volumes. The depth of wisdom and knowledge contained in the cryptic sayings of bhagavan,is a veritable mine of information,presented in a simple and easily understandable manner and is well worth careful study. This present volume contains the two books published previously under the same author -- Letters from Sri Ramansramam and Letters abd Recollections from Sri Ramanasramam.

Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi often quoted from the Tripura Rahasya and considered it to be one of the greatest works explaining the traditional teachings of Advaita. This book is not to be picked up,read through and put away.The verses are full of Divine nectar which will quench the thirst of any earnest seeker who repeatedly reflects on their meaning and in right earnest,attempts to implement the teaching. In this fascinating scripture,through stories and analogies,the entire spectrum of spiritual pursuit and attainment is laid out in clear terms.Every sadhaka,serious about attaining the supreme goal of life,should apply him or herself to the teachings of the Tripura Rahasya.

Referring to Sri Ramana Maharshi Paul Brunton says.."One could not forget that wonderful pregnant smile of his, with it's hint of wisdom and peace won from suffering and experience. He was the most understanding man I have ever known: you could be sure always of some words from him that would smooth your way a little, and that word always verified what your deepest feeling told you already.The words of this sage still flame out in memory like beacon lights." I pluck golden fruit from rare meetings with wise men" wrote trans-Atlantic Emerson in his diary, and it is certain that I plucked whole basket-fuls during my talks with this man. Our best philosophers of Europe could not hold a candle to him..."
