Letters from Sri Ramanasramam

£9.99

During the closing years of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s bodily existence, his silent radiance and incomparable teachings attracted thousand of seekers to his Ashram in South India. Suri Nagamma was the chosen instrument to cast the immortal sayings of this illumined, divine personality onto paper and to paint an exquisite picture of a Rishi’s life in modern times.

She did this in the form of 273 letters to her brother, Sri D. S. Sastri, who translated them from Telugu for the benefit of the English-reading public. They cover the last five years of the Master’s earthly life, and are of particular relevance because they were shown to Bhagavan prior to being mailed. There is no other book from this period that captures so well the enlightened personality and profound sayings of the Master. These recordings will certainly guide seekers for countless generations.

One hundred and thirty-five letters were translated into English and first published as Volume I in 1962. Another 106 letters were added to this and published in 1970. In this 2006 edition of Letters from SriRamanasramam, we have included an additional thirty-one letters that were published by the Ashram in 1978, under the title, Letters from and Recollections of Sri Ramanasramam. The twenty-eight ‘Recollections of Sri Ramanasramam’ from this book have also been added at the end of this volume, providing a complete collection of Suri Nagamma’s remarkable description of the days she spent at the feet of the Master.
