This autobiographical account of Arthur Osborne features his life and the impact that Ramana Maharshi made on his life and family.
"The words of this sage still flame out in my 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 basketfuls during my talks with this man. Our best philosophers of Europe could not hold a candle to him..." Such was the praise by Paul Brunton,who became one of the ardent devotees of Sri Ramana Maharshi.

"There is one flak of the mountain where the ascent is sheer,with no pleasant groves to rest in on the way,where to compensate for this,the path is direct and crest already visible from the plains below and throughout the ascent.This is the direct path taught by Bhagavan." Read on and enjoy the book.

This book in the life story of Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni reveals this Mahamanava (great man) as a Mahatapasvi, Mahakavi, Mahavidvan and Mahabhakta. He was indubitably a great tapasvin, poet, scholar and devotee extraordinary. His life of intense penance found its fulcrum the moment he met Ramana Bhagavan at Virupaksha Cave, when he was initiated into the meaning of tapas. Never did a greater poet-devotee meet a greater jnani-sadguru. The Muni instantly recognizing the young Swami's unique greatness, named him Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.

Description:
This book is a selection of Sri Ramana’s teachings arranged with beautiful photographs and is intended to help the mind turn inward and abide in the deep silence awaiting each of us.
In 1994,the first Westerner ever to visit Sri Ramana Maharshi had a profound experience and made an equally profound observation:"For half an hour I looked into the Maharshi's eyes,which never changed their expression of deep contemplation.I began to realize somewhat that the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.I could only feel his body was not the man,it was the instrument of God--merely a sitting corpse from which God was radiating terrifically--"God radiating terrifically" is the experience of innumerable seekers who sought the Maharshi's presence then and now.The Divine presence continues to bring hope,solace,faith,inspiration,and genuine spiritual experience to people of all cultures and creeds.And if the mirror of our soul is not adequately clean to perfectly reflect that eternal Divine Presence,the Maharshi has also provided us with a simple,direct teaching to practice for opening our heart to the experience of the one self. In preparing this pictorial book,Bharati Mirchandani has exquisitely harmonized both these incomparable aspects of Sri Ramana Maharshi--his presence and his teachings.Together with portraits,which reperesent the many enhancing divine moods of the sage,scenes from the captivating environs of Arunachala,his blessed abode,have been interpolated to create a work of unususal beauty and profoundity.This subtle art of weaving together photos and quaotations in complementary manner delightfully brings home the Master's message. All the other titles related to sri Ramana Maharshi are best sellers on amazon and this book is a must for every follower.

Description:
The Sage of Arunachala preferred to teach in silence. But when he did use words, he used few and he used them with telling effect. What struck you most about what he said was the authority of knowing that backed each word uttered.
Though all of what Ramana said was rich with meaning, if one has to grasp the very core of his teaching, one needs to sieve and filter, doggedly staying focussed on the very fundamentals of what he taught. Even those who have read many books on Ramana Maharshi’s teachings will find this book different: focussed on the ultimate happiness as one’s very nature.
More importantly, this book bring across points about Ramana Maharshi’s sayings which have not been given adequate attention and significance. To give three instances:
The very thought of God is Divine Favour. It is by God’s grace that a thought of God arises in the mind.
There is absolutely no need to hurry about anything: everything must happen only at the precise time appointed by the Cosmic Law.
The ego of the sage is like the remnants of a burnt rope.
Pointers From Ramana Maharshi brings you the teachings of Advaita Master Adi Shankara as expounded by Ramana Maharshi, distilled to their very quintessential understanding, by an experienced writer like Ramesh Balsekar.

About the Author
Yogacharya Vacaspati Dr. Ashoke Kumar Chatterjee, author of this book was born in 1933 in West Bengal. The sudden demise of his mother when he was away in service intensely agonized him. He grew averse to material pursuits and became spiritually inclined. He received initiation in Kriyayoga in April 1961. He reached the pinnacle of Kriyayoga within a short span. His three Gurus were stalwarts in this discipline. His first Guru was Sri Annada Charan Sastri (Bhattacharya) disciple of Panchanan Bhattacharya, an elevated disciple of Yogiraj Sri Shama Churn Lahiree. After Sastrirji’s demise, Dr. Chatterjee obtained initiation from Sundarlal Lala of Varanasi, disciple of Sri Harinarayan Paladhi. who was the disciple of Yogiraj and later from Sri Satyacharan Lahiri, grandson of Yogiraj. Today Yogacharya Vacaspati Chatterjee is acknowledged as a World Kriyayoga Master.
Being an ardent devotee of Sanatana Dharma's Polestar, Yogiraj Shama Churn Lahiree and to propagate His ideals and tenets before the masses so that they derive the right path, the right enlightenment, he has penned many books in Bengali, illustrating the science of Kriyayoga. Most of his books have been published in Indian languages like Hindi, Oriya, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati. Tamil, Malayalam, Assamese editions are awaiting publication. Purana Purusha Yogiraj Sri Shama Churn Lahiree has been published in French also. His other books (English editions) are also awaiting publication.

Description:
Swami Karpatri (1907-82), a revered contemporary sannyasin of exceptional personality, was renowned for his deep scriptural knowledge, which he used in his many writings and speeches to light up the Hindu orthodox point of view. The two significant articles presented here deal with the meaning of the Linga and the nature of the Great Goddess. Besides doctrinal and mythological clarifications, we find a sophisticated debate about the nature of Sakti between two traditional schools: Nyaya and Mimamsa, which could be compared with those held in the times of Adi Sankara.
This bilingual edition (Hindi–English) presents a new translation — the fruit of a collective work — besides the original text in Devanagari, in the first book by Svami Karpatri published in English. The notes explain the philosophical parts or reveal misleading interpolations and omissions commited by the first translator of these articles, Alain Daniélou.
Prefaced by His Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracarya of Dvarakapitha and Jyotispitha, Svami Svarupananda Sarasvati, who was a close companion of Svami Karpatri, this book clarifies many fundamental thoughts of Sanatana Dharma related to Siva and Sakti.
