This book is an account of the life and teachings of this great spiritual guide. Introduced to the West by Paul Brunton in the 1950s, Ramana Maharshis presence invoked a remarkable and transformational impression of benevolence and dignity, kindness and simplicity, which proved to be fundamental to the movement toward spiritual enlightenment throughout the Western world. In the foreword to this volume, Dr. S. Radhakrishman, a former Vice President of the Republic of India writes "[This book] has a special relevance to our age with its dominant mood of wistful reluctant scepticism...Sri Ramana Maharshi gives us the outlines of a religion based on the Indian Scriptures which is essentially spiritual, without ceasing to be rational and ethical."
