About the Book This is a collection of previously unpublished teaching statements originating from the Maharshi. Unlike many other books on the Maharshi available on Amazon or elsewhere on the Internet, this book is not a hotchpotch of sentences spliced together from the existing Ramanasramam publications. Rather, it contains original material that has not been elsewhere published or revealed to the public hitherto. Contents In this book, the master explains many intricate details associated with the correct and successful practice of his teachings. In addition, this book also narrates some interesting anecdotes that took place pertaining to the master''s earthly sojourn during the year 1936. How this Book Came to Be This book is a transcript of an unedited manuscript that was salvaged from the dilapidated cupboard of an octogenarian devotee of the master; it has been carefully retrieved and pieced together, digitized, and reproduced here word-for-word. Is this Book for Me? Before deciding to buy this book, please reflect for a moment on the fact that this is a digitally typeset copy of an ageing manuscript that contained conversations the Maharshi had with devotees during the latter half of 1936; and owing to the fact that it is an unedited manuscript, it does take a significant amount of effort to assimilate. You will have an easier time going through this material if you are already largely familiar with the Maharshi''s teachings, and need no glossary to understand the Sanskrit words the master normally used in conversations. That said, this material also contains enough to engage the interest of any reader who has been even cursorily charmed by the Maharshi''s fascinating ways. Authenticity I provide no guarantees about the authenticity of the manuscript based on which this material has been prepared, but I do guarantee that if Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi has ever held your fascinated attention, then so will certainly this book. While it admittedly definitely requires a humongous amount of patience to go through, it is my firm conviction that this work will certainly prove itself a delightful treat to all those who hold the Sage of Arunachala as the chosen beloved of their heart. Unbiased Stance I am aware that there are somewhat hostile views presented in this material towards certain religious communities; I wish to state that those views are not necessarily shared by me. The Compiler As regards myself, the compiler of this work, all that I wish to say about myself is that I came under the benign spell of Sri Bhagawan''s compassionate grace many decades ago and since then have never permitted myself to stray away from the blessed feet of the master. In all seriousness, I have no identity other than that of a speck of dust illuminated by Sri Bhagawan''s bedazzling rays of Jnana. Price of the Book Since the modus operandi underlying the production of the physical version of this book happens to be a print-on-demand platform, the price of the paperback is somewhat high on Amazon; devotees are requested to note that while the fact of its relatively high price is regrettable, it also happens to be unavoidable. If You Need a Less Pricey Edition/A Bigger Font-Size Those who want a more affordable physical copy of this book, or those who are finding the font-size used in this book to be too small for their eye-comfort and are thus looking for the same book printed in a bigger font size, or those who are seeking to purchase a hardcover-binding copy of these book, can purchase a copy of this book with ALL of these positive features on Pothi.com, and here is the relevant link: https://store.pothi.com/book/r-athreya-aham-sphurana-scintillations-jnana-sri-ramana-maharshi-%C2%AD/ Please Offer Feedback Please share your thoughts about this book in the Amazon comments section.
These teaching selections taken from the Aham Sphurana manuscript offer a new rounded view on Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi as a spiritual master. Stories from daily ashram life unveil his multifaceted nature and profound power in ways not previously offered to the public. Bhagavan, born in 1879, is one of the most famous and most recent of Indias wealth of sages, saints and spiritual Masters. As a young man of sixteen, he had a spontaneous awakening. He left his home in Madurai and made his way to Tiruvannamalai and the holy mountain, Arunachala. Here he lived and taught until he left his body in 1950. We would like to encourage the reader to be open for an adventure in Silence, for a fresh perspective on Bhagavans day-to-day life and for your own deep inner transformation from his detailed teachings on Self-Enquiry, Surrender and Jnana. This Selection of Teachings is a treasure for all devotees of Bhagavan.

Containing the instructions of the sage Vasiṣṭha to Lord Rama, this scripture is full of intricately woven tales, the kind a great teacher might tell to hold the interest of a student.
Swami Satchidanandendra`s major work represents the first large scale critical history of Advaita Vedanta ever attempted. It seeks to establish a clear view of the traditional advaita vedanta based on the upanishads Brahma sutras and bhagavad gita as syst
The present work in prose consists of forty questions with answers covering the entire range of spiritual disciplines required for the gaining of release (moksha). The questioner was Gambhiram Seshayya, one of the early devotees of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was a Municipal Overseer at Tiruvannamalai about 1900. Besides being an ardent Ramabhakta (worshipper of Rama) he was interested in the study and practice of Yoga. He used to read Swami Vivekananda's lectures on the different yoga's as also an English translation of the Rama-gita. For resolving the difficulties which he came across while studying these books and in his spiritual practices, he approached Bhagavan Sri Ramana from time to time. Bhagavan, who was only twenty-one years old, was then living in Virupaksha cave on Arunachala Hill. As he was keeping silent at the time not because of any vow taken but because he was not inclined to talk - he wrote out his answers to Seshayya's questions on bits of paper. These writings over the period 1900-1902 were later copied in a note-book by Seshayya. The material thus gathered was published by Sri Ramanasramam under the little Vichara-sangraham which literally means 'A Compendium of Self-Enquiry.' A digest of the teaching contained in this work was later printed in English bearing the title 'Self-Enquiry'. In that English version, the questions were omitted and the substance of Bhagavan's teaching was given, classifying it in twelve short chapters with appropriate headings. The present English translation is of the entire original text Vichara-sangraham as it is in Tamil. The Vicharasangraham has unique value in the sense that it constitutes the first set of instructions given by Bhagavan in his own handwriting.
