This is a wonderful book that delves into the life, teachings and legacy of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi and the ashram. The content in the book significantly differs from the previous biographies and reminiscences of Bhagavan in its presentation. The content curator, Mr. T.S. Subramanian, has meticulously researched the narratives and confirmed it with the current devotees of Bhagavan residing in the ashram. A good part of the photo collection is exclusive, courtesy Sri Ramanasramam and some of the photographs are by Mr. S.R. Raghunathan. The first forty pages of the book discuss the biography of Bhagavan. The next few pages of the book are devoted to how the current administration preserves the aura of spirituality and how the legacy is preserved in the archives of the ashram. The final section is on Arunachala, the wonderful divine Hill. If Bhagavan was attached to anything in his life, it was this Hill. The book also contains two fold-out posters: one of the Maharshi reclining on the sofa in the Old Hall and the other of the route of Giri pradakshina of the hill.
This is the quintessential, aphoristic work, constituting one of the earliest recordings of the Maharshi s teachings, that spells out the nature of the Self and the practice of Self-Inquiry. The highest truth that Sri Ramana Marharshi has imparted to seekers is that nothing is real but the Self, and that the individual soul, world, and God are nothing but the Self, is a very subtle truth not easily grasped by the mind. The question and answer format is like sequential steps guiding the seeker, one question and answer at a time toward greater clarity into the method of Self-inquiry. The text begins as follows: All living beings desire to be happy always, without any misery. In everyone there is observed supreme love for oneself. And happiness alone is the cause of love. In order therefore, to gain that happiness which is one’s nature and which is experienced in the state of deep sleep, where there is no mind, one should know oneself. To achieve this, the Path of Knowledge, the enquiry in the form of ‘Who Am I?’ is the principal means About 1902 Sivaprakasam Pillai 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.
Sri Mugavai Kanna Muruganar expressed his devotion by composing 30,000 exquisite Tamil poems over a span of 50 years in praise of his Satguru, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. These poems have been published under various titles including Sri Ramana Sannidhi Murai, Sri Ramana Jnana Bodham, Guru Vachaka Kovai etc., while some have been lost forever. Sri Muruganar took great care not to reveal many details about his own spiritual journey. However, he has left subtle clues buried in the depths of his brilliant poetry. This book, Muruganar In His Own Words, is a celebration of this beloved poet’s spiritual journey — his inspiration, his struggles, his singular love, his complete surrender, his meticulous documentation of his Guru’s teachings, and his supreme realization — all revealed through his own words from the epic collection of his verses. Though these verses were written in classical Tamil, this book seeks to make them accessible to everyone including non-Tamil readers. It also delves into Muruganar’s influences from ancient saint-poets, the socio-cultural context during his youth, and his friendships with literary figures and devotees. Most importantly, this work highlights Sri Muruganar’s unwavering single-pointed devotion and reverence for Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. We pray to Sri Bhagavan that devotees will benefit from reading this book and also understand the value of devotion and surrender.
