Sri Ramana Darsanam
By Sadhu Natanananda.This book is divided into ten scenes describing each aspect of Truth and the qualities of a Jnani. The book also includes previously unpublished poems that give a rare glimpse into the inner experiences that came to Sadhu Natanananda as a direct result of Bhagavan’s teachings and grace. pp. 146 This is an extract from Sri Ramana Darsanam, by Sadhu Natanananda. The nature of the state of pure beingUnlike other teachers of jnana, Bhagavan neither followed any of the traditional practices such as giving diksha, recognising the guru-disciple relationship or training disciples in rules and regulations, nor did he give upadesa in the conventional fashion. When he spoke, he simply cleared the doubts of seekers, giving advice that corresponded to their spiritual maturity.Bhagavan was always absorbed in the Self. Hence, just as the presence of light is sufficient for the removal of darkness, his darshan was often sufficient for the removal of ignorance.This illustrates Thayumanavar’s conclusion: ‘Those who speak will not get collected in nishta [Self-abidance]; those who are firmly established in nishta will not teach [by verbal instructions].’
In the Kitchen with Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
One hundred and thirty years ago, young Ramana left home and embarked on a journey to Holy Arunachala, an event that would mark the beginning of a new chapter in his life and in the lives of thousands who would later be touched by his presence at Sri Ramanasramam. A noteworthy aspect of Bhagavan Ramana’s daily routine at the Ashram was his practice of rising each day at 3 am to make his way to the kitchen to light the fire and chop vegetables for the morning meal. Just as Bhagavan’s Old Hall is revered as a temple, Bhagavan’s kitchen is equally sacred.The present volume traces this history orienting the narrative around the reception, preparation, and offering of food. Anecdotes from the early days in the Big Temple, subsequent bhiksha rounds in the streets of the town, food offered Bhagavan by sympathetic devotees on or around the Hill, and later testimonies of devotees who worked alongside him in the Ashram kitchen make up the following pages.The present collection of stories documents a significant chapter in religious history and serves as a guide for those seeking to follow in the footsteps of the Master.— From the Publisher’s Note

MURUGANAR IN HIS OWN WORDS: A Journey Of Devotion, Surrender And Realization
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.
