Getting to know Ramana
by Robert Wolfe on September 21st, 2010

The late Arthur Osborne was a western student of Ramana, and edited The Collected Works of Ramana Maharshi. Not a lot was written by Ramana himself, and Osborne explains much about what was. The Preface repays reading. The 192 pages include glossary and index. Ramana wrote in Tamil, and many references are to Vedanta.
These are good preparations for Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi (the major source for his direct teachings) some 650 brief transcribed Q-and-A on many topics (with students or with visitors) over about four years (in late 1930's). 683 pages, with extensive glossary and index, it is best read after the above books. A thorough bibliography at the back will lead you to many other books, of many sorts, to follow with.
