A Sadhu's Reminiscences
of Ramana Maharshi
By Sadhu Arunachala (A. W. Chadwick)
Major Chadwick was a direct
disciple of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, so naturally, he has much
to tell us not only of Bhagavan and his teachings, but also of the many
things that happened in Bhagavan's presence. In this book Chadwick gives
us only what has been, for the most part, unrecorded in the books of
others. Thus, this text serves to supplement the previous publications,
and to provide the reader with insights not already rendered in previous
books. The pen picture of Sri Ramana is so vivid and complete that many
disciples have testified to its being faithful in spirit and accurate
in detail.
Further the highest Truths
have been quite clearly stated, and many a reader will be drawn back
into the Self while reading the text. You will enjoy reading this book.

Advaita Bodha Deepika
Translated by Swami Ramanananda Saraswathi
In this work, the author
has attempted to explain how ignorance veils the true nature of the
Self, which is non-dual, resulting in one’s belief that “the
Self does not exist” and that “the Self does not shine forth.”
When the mind gives rise to this illusion, it projects onto individuals
and the world and presents them as being real. By hearing the Truth,
contemplating the Truth and abiding as the Truth, through the use of
Self-Inquiry, direct Knowledge is gained and puts an end to one’s
false belief that the Self does not exist.
This book, one of the few
esteemed by Sri Ramana Maharshi, was thoroughly translated and revised
in his presence.

Annamalai Swami, His
Final Talks
Compiled and edited by David Godman, Pocket Edition
Annamalai Swami came to
Bhagavan in 1928 and spent the next ten years serving him, initially
as his attendant, and subsequently as the supervisor of all the building
projects that Sri Ramanasramam undertook during this period. Through
his devotion and close association with Bhagavan, Annamalai Swami himself
underwent enlightenment.
In the 1980’s people
began to visit Annamalai Swami in order to get instructions on Bhagavan’s
teachings. The visitors to his ashram were often surprised by the elegant
clear way in which Annamalai Swami passed on the teachings that had
been given to him by Sri Bhagavan. Though he had virtually no formal
education, his deep experience of the subject matter enabled him to
communicate it with rare authority.
This book, published by
AHAM Publications in a small “pocket book” format, contains
some of the instructions given to visitors during the last six months
of his life. This is a book well worth the readers time.

Arunachala Holy Hill
By Skandananda (R. Henninger)
Sri Arunachala, which is
referred to as “the Holy of Holies,” is beyond any doubt
true, at least for the many who have experienced it. Sri Arunachala
has attracted numerous sages, siddhas (perfected beings) and yogis,
and has provided numerous caves serving as dwellings for these Yogis,
and shelter to others living in huts around the base of this Holy Mountain.
The extremely ancient soil on which Arunachala rests allows us to postulate
that this Holy Mountain has been there through the various continental
drifts, even from the time when the continents of MU, or Lemuria, and
Atlantis took shape, before the development of the earth formation we
know today.
The great power of attraction
and diffusion, which comes from the very center of Sri Arunachala, has
been affirmed by countless sages and saints who have come to the foot
of the mountain. Sri Bhagavan Ramana is quoted as having called this
mountain not only his guru, but as being the Self or God in physical
form. The Self is beyond all concepts, all analysis; it is the very
Source of all sources, it merely IS.... without name and form…
truly a unique and silent riddle!
Bhagavan encouraged his
devotees to follow the ancient tradition of walking around the mountain.
The path, going around the Mountain, leads us gradually into its Silence
or inner being and eventually enables us to attain mystical union with
Arunachala. The book is itself intended to be used as a guide by all
those wishing to circumambulate Arunachala (called, giri pradakshina)
with a deeper insight into the spiritual meaning of the hill and of
the temples and shrines that surround it.

 Ashtavakra Gita
Ashtavakra Gita is a valuable work containing the highest Advaitic teaching imparted by Sage Ashtavakra to King Janaka. King Janaka became Self-realized by the teaching.
Sri Ramana Maharshi copied the original Sanskrit text in his own writing which is presented along with the text. This version of the book was brought out as a special edition by Ramanasramam on the 121st Jayanti of Sri Bhagavan.

At The Feet Of Bhagavan
By T. K. Sundaresa Iyer
Precious indeed are the
records left by those to whom the Master has shown His Grace. Fortunately
for us, sincere devotees have come forward to share their experiences
with Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi, by putting them down in words. Posterity
owes a deep debt to the blessed memory of these old devotees.
Here are the writings of
Sri T. K. Sundaresa Iyer. He was not only a Bhakti (devotee)
of the highest order, but also an erudite scholar though he did not
possess any academic qualifications. Sri T. K. S., as he was addressed
affectionately by all, acted as an interpreter to English speaking visitors
in their conversations with Sri Bhagavan. He also replied to the correspondence
received by the Ashram on spiritual matters, consulting Sri Bhagavan
every time he had to reply to specific spiritual questions. Thus he
acquired a full and comprehensive knowledge of Sri Bhagavan’s
teachings. thus helping many seekers in clarifying the path of Ramana.
Sri T. K. S. was considered
by many to be a Rishi (teacher) in appearance and in experience. His
reminiscences of the Master portray the beauty, tenderness and compassion
of Sri Bhagavan’s personality.

Be As You Are: The Teachings
Of Sri Ramana Maharshi
Edited by David Godman
In this book edited by
the former librarian of the Sri Ramanasramam library (the library of
the Ashram of Sri Ramana Maharshi), the teachings of Sri Bhagavan have
been presented in the form of a series of questions and answers in which
the great sage outlines his views on various subjects. The chapters
have been arranged so that his highest teachings come first. Each chapter
is devoted to a different topic and each topic is prefaced by a few
introductory or explanatory remarks. The questions and answers, which
form the bulk of each chapter, have been taken from many sources and
assembled in such a way that they give the appearance of being a continuous
conversation. The sources of the quotations that make up the conversations
are all listed at the end of the book.
This book is compiled in
a manner that provides both easy reading and an in-depth grasp of Sri
Ramana’s teachings. This is a great introductory book to the teachings
of Sri Ramana Maharshi.

Bhagavan and Nayana
By S. Shankaranarayanan
This book provides an insight
into the relationship of Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi and the disciple
he referred to endearingly as Nayana, who was better known as Kavyakantha
Ganapati Sastri, and who was famed as Vasistha Ganapati Muni.
Nayana was a mighty spiritual
personality in his own right, and had a large following of illustrious
disciples. It is a standing testimony to his spiritual sincerity and
intellectual honesty that he recognized the uniqueness of Bhagavan’s
teaching, accepted him as his Guru, and proclaimed him as the Maharshi
to the whole world.
This text sheds insight
into one of the most unique disciple-Guru relationships.

Bhagavan Ramana And
Mother
By A. R. Natarajan
The need to know more about
Bhagavan’s mother cannot be over stated. There is something unique about
every aspect of Bhagavan’s life, and this is most true in relation to
the bonds between him and his mother.
Though his mother attained mahasamadhi (conscious dropping of the body) in 1922, Ramana’s
phenomenal and photographic memory enabled him to recall, even decades
later, every little detail about her. These recollections have been
fully recorded by several of Bhagavan’s students, so that posterity
could know about and enjoy the tender and heart warming incidents.
This book is a homage to
the special relationship between Bhagavan and his mother, Azhagammal.
The author sought to recreate the holy atmosphere by making the narrative
simple, and by containing a profusion of photographs in color and black
and white.

The planning design and
execution of the art work on this book was done with great skill and
thoroughness. It contains many rare photographs of Sri Bhagavan, along

of Letters to Sri Arunachala” was composed by Sri Ramana Maharshi
on the request of devotees who would like to sing it while walking the
thirteen kilometer (8 mile) road around the Holy Mount Arunachala.

Buddhism and Christianity
in the Light of Hinduism
By Arthur Osborne
People often came to Arthur
Osborne to ask for help in understanding, or rather in learning how
to live Bhagavan’s teaching of Advaita (non-duality).
Osborne felt that this teaching was so essentially simple, and yet he
was aware that there seems to be a human tendency to complicate it with
embellishments of theory and ritual. It was in response to these questions,
about how to understand and live Bhagavan’s teachings, that Arthur
wrote this book.
Osborne saw that we live
in an “age of instant coffee and instant communication,”
and that we also want instant enlightenment, almost irrespective of
the path we take to get there. Mr. Osborne felt that a religion to which
you are dedicated, or having some sort of a system of discipline, is
still the best way of training the mind and the body until one is ready
to let go and take the infinite step into eternity. He stresses that
Bhagavan Ramana’s teaching was this step beyond religion and that
it could be followed from any faith.
Arthur reminds us of the
often misunderstood or forgotten heart-teachings of the world’s
great religions, while he provides us with a beautifully clear explanation
of Advaita. This book is written in a way that makes the reader
feel that the experience of Advaita is within one’s grasp; and
that is perhaps it’s most important message.

The Collected Works
of Ramana Maharshi
By Author Osborne
This book gathers all the
Maharshi’s original works—including “Self-Inquiry,”
“Upadesa Saram” (Spiritual Instructions), “Who
am I,” “Five Hymns to Arunachala,” the two sets of
“Forty Verses,” together with all his miscellaneous works,
most significantly being Atma Vidya (Self Knowledge)—in
one volume; as well as contains his explanations of some significant
works of the sixth century sage, Adi Shankara.
Osborne’s presentation
of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s teachings shows readers the purest form
of Advaita Vedanta (non-duality) through the supremely simple
discipline of Self-Inquiry. This discipline, as taught by Ramana Maharshi,
embraces the path of action as well as that of knowledge, for it is
to be used in the events of daily life as well as in silent meditation.
In this way, the circumstances of life, instead of being obstacles to
spiritual work, or the path to liberation, are made an instrument of
spiritual work, when approached with love and devotion, and without
self-interest.
These collected works, lovingly
edited by Osborne, are from translations made at the Maharshi’s
ashram. In this book, Osborne has preserved a wealth of transformational
insight benefiting the lives of spiritual seekers for generations to
come.
Everyone interested in the
teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, will find that Author Osborne’s
works are a “must read.”

Conscious Immortality: Conversations with Sri Ramana Maharshi by Paul Brunton and Munagala Venkataramiah
Currently out of stock.
During his visits to Sri Ramanashram in the 1930’s, Paul Brunton and Munagala Venkataramiah made notes of visitors’ conversations with the Maharshi. Their intention was to collaborate in producing a book, but this did not materialize. The notes they made were later donated to the ashram. This resulted in a manuscript being rearranged thematically under various headings. A glossary of Sanskrit terms and footnotes have been added to explain references made to other texts, and teachers. The book does not purport to be a comprehensive exposition of the Maharshi’s teachings. Rather, it is a compendium of topics as remembered and recorded by the two devotees over a limited period. This book is enjoyable and insightful and makes for easy reading. Also, it is one of the books which are most highly and consistently recommended by the AHAM staff.

Crumbs From His Table
By Ramanananda Swarnagiri
This pamphlet contains
conversations the author had with Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, as well
as some of the most succinct messages on spiritual Truth which some
of his friends had with the Master in the author’s presence.
The author states, “the
uniqueness of Sri Bhagavan’s teaching consist in the fact of his
insistence on the inquiry method, from the very beginning, instead of
waiting till later for the purification of body, mind and intellect,
because the use of the inquiry right away gives one that mental quiet.”
The author states further, “Sri Bhagavan’s teaching can
be practiced in addition to, and without detriment to, other practices,
from the very beginning, with immense and incalculable advantage.”
V. Ganesan, the grand nephew
of Sri Ramana Maharshi, has said this booklet is one of the very best
accounts given of the deeper or subtler clues of Sri Bhagavan’s Teaching.

Day by Day with Bhagavan - SOLD OUT
From a Diary of A. Devaraja Mudaliar
This is the published diary,
covering about two years from 1945 to 1947, of a devotee who lived at
Sri Ramanasramam altogether for four years and had daily contact with
Bhagavan. Reading about the small happenings at the ashram, as well
as Bhagavan’s actions and words, we gain insight into the daily
life of the ashram, and Bhagavan’s interaction with and influence
on spiritual seekers. Sri Bhagavan’s love and compassion for all
those living at the ashram, as well as his concern for daily visitors,
and even his compassion for animals, shines through the pages.
Questions from visitors
from diverse perspectives, and Bhagavan’s answers to them, flesh
out the teaching of Bhagavan from many sides. A woman with seven children
and many household duties asked what she should do, given that she was
unable to meditate and did not feel that she was capable of Self-Inquiry.
Bhagavan replied, that she should simply “be aware,” i.e.,
always be aware of “I-I” as she went about her day. To some
questioners, Bhagavan responded in Silence – his most powerful
teaching.

Five Hymns to Sri Arunachala
By Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
The Five Hymns to Arunachala
are the earliest poems written by Sri Bhagavan, except for a few short
verses. Bhagavan was about 35 years of age when he wrote these verses.
He was still living in a cave on the holy hill. Some of his followers
who were sadhus (renunciates) used to go into the town of daily
to beg for food and one day they asked him to make a song for them to
sing as they went. Initially he refused. Then one day he walked around
the Hill, composing the first hymn, “The Marital Garland of Letters,”
as he went.
The Marital Garland tells
in glowing symbolism of the love and union between the human soul and
God, and is among the most profound and moving poems in any language.
It was written for the sake of devotees and expresses the attitude of
the soul that still aspires.
The second, third and fourth
poems were written at about the same time, and they also adopt the same
attitude.
The fifth hymn is of a
different nature to the first four. The great Sanskrit poet and devotee
Ganapati Sastri, who was a follower of Bhagavan, begged him to write
a poem in Sanskrit. Bhagavan replied, laughing, that he scarcely knew
any Sanskrit, and no Sanskrit meters. Sastri, however, explained a meter
to him and repeated his request. When he returned the same evening,
this hymn had been written in perfect, flawless Sanskrit.
The spiritual significance
of these hymns is best expressed by denoting the author, Sri Bhagavan
Ramana Maharshi, enough said.

Forever Is In The Now
By A. R. Natarajan
Ramana Maharshi left no
doubt concerning the spiritual path we must follow. He gave us a distinct
path, a straight path for Self-knowledge, that of Self-Inquiry. He illumined
and made available the “Science of the “Heart.” While
philosophic thought generally concerns itself with God, Self, the unknown,
Sri Ramana Maharshi focuses attention entirely on the individual; or,
more precisely said, the individual “I.”
Though we think we are
familiar with the “I,” properly directed inquiry would reveal
that the assumptions on which we proceed, and things we take for granted
are not valid. For one would be examining, frontally, such questions
as the nature of the mind, its relationship to the spiritual Heart,
the true import of “I”, and whether it is confined to the
body which we have taken it to be.
This selection of conversations
between Sri Ramana Maharshi and various seekers, their arrangement,
and the editorial notes have been made with regard to assisting the
reader in directing his/her own experience. The purpose of this book
is to serve as a practical guide to Self-knowledge. Such knowledge opens
up for us our own natural, but hidden happiness.

Forty Verses On Reality
By Ramana Maharshi
Translation and commentary by S. S. Cohen
In these forty verses,
Bhagavan has touched on all the salient points of his teaching constantly
stressing the great value and benefit of Self-Inquiry, or investigation
into the nature of the investigator himself. All the Masters of the
Upanishads maintain that man is not the elements out of which his body
is made, but the mind, or intelligent principle, or being, which uses
the body.
This book comes with both
synopsis and commentary. In the synopsis, the translator not only gives
the gist of every verse, but also provides information intended to help
the reader to locate a specific subject. The commentary provides a background
and understanding that allows the reader to fully grasp the significance
of what Sri Bhagavan has written.

Glimpses of The Life
and Teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
By Frank H. Humphreys
Frank H. Humphreys is a
name quite familiar to the devotees of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.
Sri Bhagavan’s biography, “Self-Realization” by B.
V. Narasimha Swami, has two chapters on Humphreys, giving a brief sketch
of his life and Sri Bhagavan’s instructions to him.
In this booklet, Humphreys
tells about his first few visits with Sri Bhagavan, and the resultant
effect this time with his teacher had upon him. He also relates to us
“his version” of Sri Bhagavan’s teaching in a simple,
easy to understand manner.
This pamphlet is a very
interesting account by one of Sri Bhagavan’s Western devotees.

Guru Ramana
By S.S. Cohen
This Book contains some
of S.S. Cohen’s reminiscences as well as the notes which he took down
at various times during his 14 year residence in Sri Ramanasramam. Part
I contains his first impressions of Ramana Maharshi, Ramana’s spiritual
influence on his disciples, the conditions prevailing then in the Ashram,
plus some autobiographical reflections and episodes.
Part II consists of extracts
from his notebooks, where he occasionally jotted down the English translation
of Bhagavan’s answers to questions almost as soon as they were given.
Part III is the diary which
Cohen kept of the last two years of Ramana Maharshi’s life. It
describes, in particular, the closing scenes of his life. This book
provides the reader with a significant insight into Ramana Maharshi’s
teaching from the point of view of one of his Western disciples.
The various books by S.
S. Cohen are worth the readers consideration.

Guru Ramana Vachana
Mala
By Who
This is an English rendering,
by "Who" (Sri K. Lakshmana Sarma), of 350 Sanskrit verses, most of which
were written by Sri Muruganar, the chief disciple of Sri Bhagavan, which
embody the verbal Teaching of Sri Bhagavan. Included are explanatory
notes. The three chapters, entitled “Discrimination,” “The
Quest” and “Experience,” lead one from a discussion
of the Ultimate Goal, through a description of the way to achieve the
goal, and finally end by urging you to not just read about the goal, but rather to experience it.
Any text written by Who
is worth the readers consideration.
