Sri Guru Ramana Prasadam

Sri Guru Ramana Prasadam is a collection of devotional verses composed by Muruganar. In this work he speaks movingly about his own liberation and the grace of his Guru, Sri Ramana Maharshi, which brought it about. The verses have been translated by Robert Butler.

Tirukannokkam

This is one of the poems from Sri Ramana Sannidhi Murai. Following the style of his literary predecessor, Manikkavachagar, Muruganar incorporates spiritual advice into a game for young girls.

Who is Ramana Maharshi?

For those who know little or nothing about Ramana Maharshi, here is a brief summary of his life, his teachings and his teaching methods.

Talking about how I came to India and Bhagavan

There are two halves to this talk. In the first I narrate what drew me to Bhagavan’s teachings and then to India. And in the second I speak about some of the teachers I have been with and written about.

Talks at various places where Ramana Maharshi lived and taught

This is a series of talks I gave in 2014 in which I visited all the places in Tiruvannamalai where Ramana Maharshi had lived and taught.

Bhagavan’s Self-realisation

In this article I have collected and analysed all the various original sources that relate to Bhagavan’s 1896 Self-realisation experience in an attempt to provide a more authoritative account than the ones that have appeared in most of Sri Ramana’s biographies.

A Youtube talk on Arunachala

This is a talk I gave a few years ago. It covers the mythology of Arunachala before explaining its importance to Ramana Maharshi and the attraction it holds for millions of Saiva devotees.

The Blessed Days with Muruganar

This is an account by Padma Venkataraman of the time she spent serving Muruganar in the 1950s. It also contains a film of her speaking in Tamil about her association with Bhagavan.
