This work contains all the inspired compositions of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, in poetry and prose, along with translations from the Advaitic texts that he considered to be the most direct teachings for the attainment of the Supreme State of Realisation.
Altogether they represent a clear, direct guide for seekers of truth, whether they follow the path of Bhakti (devotion) or Jnana (Knowledge).
The first group of poems, The Five Hymns to Sri Arunachala, are among the most profound and moving compositions in any language and express the attitude of the soul aspiring for union with God.
Bhagavan Ramana has affirmed that the seekers who study these works are certain to attain the bliss of Liberation.
