P UBLISHER’S NOTE
During the closing years of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s bodily existence, his silent radiance and incomparable teachings attracted thousand of seekers to his Ashram in
South India. Suri Nagamma was the chosen instrument to cast the immortal sayings of this illumined, divine personality onto paper and to paint an exquisite picture of a Rishi’s life in modern times.
She did this in the form of 273 letters to her brother,
Sri D. S. Sastri, who translated them from Telugu for the benefit of the English-reading public. They cover the last five years of the Master’s earthly life, and are of particular relevance because they were shown to Bhagavan prior to being mailed. There is no other book from this period that captures so well the enlightened personality and profound sayings of the Master. These recordings will certainly guide seekers for countless generations.
One hundred and thirty-five letters were translated into English and first published as Volume I in 1962.
Another 106 letters were added to this and published in
1970. In this 2006 edition of Letters from Sri Ramanasramam, we have included an additional thirty-one letters that were
