Author: Arthur OsbornePublisher: JaicoYear: 1998Language: EnglishPages: 219ISBN/UPC (if available): 8172243115 DescriptionSri Ramana Maharshi was born in 1879. In his seventeenth year, he attained enlightenment through a remarkable experience as is undergoing death of the physical body while remaining in full consciousness. The most remarkable thing about him was his personality. The impression of benevolence and dignity which this makes is really striking.It is an unusual book for an Englishman to write - since in describing the life of the guru he has enlarged on many aspects of Indian spiritual life and thought, and has shown that he has understood much of what to the West seems to be meaningless or too difficult to comprehend.ContentsPrefaceForewordCHAPTER IEarly YearsCHAPTER IIAwakeningCHAPTER IIIThe JourneyCHAPTER IVSeeming TapasCHAPTER VThe Question of ReturnCHAPTER VIArunachalaCHAPTER VIINon-ResistanceCHAPTER VIIIThe MotherCHAPTER IXAdvaitaCHAPTER XSome Early DevoteesCHAPTER
