The Collected Works of Ramana Maharshi

Ramana Maharshi's complete written teachings—a comprehensive collection of his inspired compositions, translations of ancient Advaitic texts, and devotional hymns that illuminate the path of self-inquiry and surrender, revealing the direct way to liberation through awareness of the Self.

Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950), one of India's most revered modern sages, left a body of written work that distills the essence of Advaita Vedanta into accessible, transformative teachings. This complete collection presents both his devotional path—exemplified in the luminous Five Hymns to Sri Arunachala—and his doctrinal works on self-inquiry, offering seekers a comprehensive guide to the realization of the Self.

What you'll discover:

• The Five Hymns to Sri Arunachala, including The Marital Garland of Letters—"among the most profound and moving poems in any language"
• Teachings on self-inquiry (atma-vichara) and the direct path to Self-realization
• Translations of classical Advaitic texts with Ramana's illuminating commentary
• The path of surrender through love and devotion to the Divine
• Practical guidance for contemplative practice and spiritual awakening
• The essence of non-dual wisdom in clear, accessible language

Ramana's central teaching: the Self is always present, always realized—what's needed is not attainment but recognition. Through persistent inquiry into "Who am I?" or through devotional surrender, the illusion of separation dissolves, revealing the ever-present reality of pure consciousness. His writings guide seekers from both paths—the way of knowledge (jnana) and the way of devotion (bhakti)—showing how both lead to the same realization.

How does self-inquiry lead to liberation? What is the relationship between devotion and knowledge? How do we recognize the Self that is always present?

Ramana's answers—drawn from direct realization, classical Vedanta, and profound compassion for seekers—await in this complete collection, offering not philosophy but practical guidance for the recognition of your true nature.

Perfect for: Students of Advaita Vedanta and non-dual wisdom, practitioners of self-inquiry and contemplative meditation, readers interested in Hindu mysticism and Indian philosophy, seekers exploring the direct path to liberation, anyone drawn to the teachings of modern sages.

Hardcover edition. The complete written teachings of one of the twentieth century's most influential spiritual masters—essential for any contemplative library.
