From reader reviews: Best book on Ramana Maharshi. I've been a student of Ramana's since 1962 and have read many of his books including these 40 verses… I would say this is the best book on his teachings. Another review: A simple guide to Self-inquiry. Since it is a personal experience, words are inadequate to express it . But they may guide you. Richard Clarke's work enables a non-Tamilian to learn what the Maharshi said. In Forty Verses on Reality, Ramana Maharshi explains the nature of the Self, the ultimate reality, and Self-inquiry as the direct method to realize the Self. This new ...

From a reader: Expands on perhaps the most powerful book ever "Who Am I?" by Ramana. extremely helpful to clarify certain ideas. Perhaps the biggest for me was that when Ramana was talking about the heart, he wasn't talking about the actual heart, but a place where thoughts come from. I also really like that Richard has included Practices for each section of the book for us to put into practical application. From another reader: Great for someone learning about Ramana Maharshi and Self-inquiry. Explains Ramana's teaching in ordinary language. Also I found the practice notes to be a great ...

Some of these influences came from his disciple Ganapati Muni, as well his early the biographers Frank H. Humphreys, B.V. Narasimha Iyer and Paul Brunton.

Respecto de esto, Sri Ramana es clarísimo. Sri Ramana declara sin lugar a dudas que el verdadero propósito de la práctica espiritual es la disolución del “yo”. Las relaciones cambiantes entre las...

Adyashanti writes, “Sunyata was the rarest of incarnations. A naturally born enlightened being of singular uniqueness and inventiveness. The story of his life is itself a profound spiritual teaching and a living example of how awakened spirit moves through the challenges of life."

The present selection of quotations from the varied works of Sri Ramana Maharshi is a welcome addition to the literature of Sri Ramana Maharshi.
