Upadesa Ratnavali, is a collection of 108 concise sutras compiled by Sadhu Natanananda, a devoted disciple of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. Sri Natanananda meticulously recorded and organized Bhagavan’s teachings, capturing the essence of “Ramana Siddhanta” with a clear, methodical approach while Sri Muruganar also simultaneously wrote verses which later came to be called Guru Vachaka Kovai.

Inspired by Saiva Siddhanta, Natanananda’s style is distinct from Muruganar’s poetic flair. Using restrained, precise language, Natanananda guides the mind directly to Self-realization. Each sutra invites contemplative exploration, making this text accessible to all sincere seekers of truth. May this work illuminate the path of Self-inquiry, leading to the peace of the Self.

Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi said, “Everyone can be a devotee. Spiritual fare is common to all and never denied to anyone - be the person old or young, male or female.”

We are not confined to the vessel of our bodies. In awakening to our true essence, we dissolve the myriad forms of diversity into the boundless unity of the Self, where all paths meet and all hearts beat as one. This is the singular Heart, infinite and indivisible. For those rooted in the Self, equanimity flows without end, serene and all-encompassing.

Bhagavan’s grace extended to all of creation. Under his luminous gaze, every soul found gentle guidance towards the ultimate realization of the Self. These remarkable encounters echo Bhagavan’s sacred teachings, preserving the radiance of his presence. This book is a delicate garland of spiritual lives, portraying with beauty and depth, for the first time, the journeys of the women devotees of Bhagavan as they sought and found the path to Self-realization. May Bhagavan shower his grace on all of us like he did for these women.

When a great Mahatma incarnates on earth, thousands of common people throng to him to fulfill their various needs.

But a few are drawn to him by a mysterious power, and their mundane and spiritual needs get fulfilled as well. One such was Sub-Registrar R. Narayana Iyer. When he was drawn to Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi in 1928-29, he had a contented life as a government official. Iyer was fortunate to receive spiritual instruction on his first meeting with Bhagavan. This was a clear exposition, from Bhagavan Himself, on His ‘Reality in Forty Verses’ – which had just then been published by Sri Ramanasramam. Iyer fulfilled various mundane needs as well, one after the other. The details are compiled in this booklet and will be shared by all.

Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi (HARD BOUND)

$22 per book, including the shipping cost

During the four years from 1935 to 1939, Munagala Venkataramiah, a veteran devotee and the author of this work, painstakingly recorded the conversations that took place in the Old Hall between Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and his devotees.

People from all faiths and every walk of life came to sit at Sri Bhagavan’s feet; whether ignorant or erudite, a simple peasant or royalty, they travelled from the far corners of the earth to place their doubts before him or just to sit in his divine presence. His infinite compassion and unique insight ensured that none left his Ashram empty handed.

Their questions covered every aspect of the spiritual search and every problem troubling the human mind; Maharshi‘s answers gently led the questioner to the correct solution, each question answered according to the questioners’ own level of spiritual development. All had their doubts dispelled, their hearts suffused with peace and their beings uplifted in his presence. This book is a truthful chronicle of such happenings.

Reflecting the warmth, the humour and the deep spiritual atmosphere generated by the Master’s presence, this work is a treasure-house for all who seek the Highest Truth. Sri Bhagavan’s teaching, Self-enquiry, is the core of this work. However, doctrinal questions from the various faiths, Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, Theosophical, etc., have also been answered by the Maharshi. His explanations have revealed the common thread underlying all faiths and the absolute unity of the spiritual quest, irrespective of the diverse paths encountered on the journey to the Highest Goal.

Ramana Maharshi and the Path of Self-Knowledge

$15 per book, including the shipping cost

The author has packed into this small volume all the essential information relating to the life and teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950).

The life of Sri Ramana Maharshi fills us with wonder. As a teenager, hardly seventeen, he realised the Self through a spontaneous act of Self-enquiry without any conscious effort on his part, or any training imparted by a teacher. He left his home (at Madurai) in 1896, came to Arunachala (Tiruvannamalai) where He lived as an all-renouncing sage, in a state of continuous Self-absorption for a period of fifty-four years — until his mahanirvana in 1950.

The invaluable, timeless instructions given by Sri Ramana to his early devotees like Sivaprakasam Pillai, Frank Humphreys, Kavyakanta Ganapati Muni, Sadhu Natanananda and others, at their request, are all portrayed here by the author.

The author also describes the experiences of Paul Brunton and later devotees.

Sri Maharshi’s message is that Self-knowledge is a fait accompli and is not something to be acquired afresh. It is only becoming aware of one’s own natural state of Pure Being, through Self-enquiry.

The spirit of this simple but profound message has been captured by the author in his presentation.

The Vedaparayana in Sri Ramanasramam (Sanskrit hymns with english translation)

$15 per book, including the shipping cost

Sri Ramanasramam is permeated with the compassionate grace of Bhagavan Sri Ramana, offering devotees of all faiths the profound gifts of mental peace, bliss, and happiness. The primary objective of the Ashram is to provide comprehensive support to seekers pursuing these transformative benefits. Devotees routinely assemble in the morning and evening for silent meditation and prayer, receiving the necessary assistance and conveniences.

The recitation of Vedas, known as Vedaparayana, is a regular practice conducted both in the morning and evening. Devotees gather during Arathi, the ceremonial waving of lights, at the Shrines.

This book presents the Sanskrit verses, accompanied by English translations, of hymns regularly chanted at Sri Bhagavan Ramana’s Samadhi Shrine in Sri Ramanasramam. Included are the complete Sanskrit compositions recited during the daily morning and evening Vedaparayana, the forty verses of ‘Sri Ramana Chatvarimshat’ and ‘Sri Arunachala Pancharatnam’ recited during the morning milk offering. Additionally, the ‘Upadesa Sarah’ is chanted at the conclusion of the evening Vedaparayana, and the ‘Na Karmana’ mantra is recited at the end of both the morning and evening Vedaparayana sessions.

In the Kitchen with Bhagavan

$15 per book, including the shipping cost

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.

Muruganar In His Own Words

$15 per book, including the shipping cost

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.

Chapter 1

A Lifetime with Bhagavan

IN 1908, when I was 12 years old, Bhagavan was still in Virupaksha Cave. My cousin, Krishnamurthy, used to go to Bhagavan every day and sing songs of devotion and worship before him. One day I asked him where he went daily. He told me: “The Lord of the Hill Himself is sitting there in human form. Why don’t you come with me?” I too climbed the Hill and found Bhagavan sitting on a stone slab, with about 10 devotees around him. Each would sing a song. Bhagavan turned to me and asked, "Well, won't you sing a song also." One of Sundaramurthy's songs came to my mind and I sang it. It's meaning was, "No other support have I, except thy holy feet. By holding on to them, I shall win your grace. Great men sing your praise Oh, Lord. Grant that my tongue may repeat Thy name even when my mind strays."

"Yes. That is what must be done," said Bhagavan, and I took it to be his teaching for me. From that time on, I went to see him regularly for several years without missing a day.
