Letters from Sri Ramansramam Volumes I and II

Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi preached silence by observing it himself and Asramites aspiring for spiritual advancement sat at the holy feet of Bhagavan, imbibing the lessons of that silence. 

Occasionally Bhagavan spoke on spiritual matters. On such occasions, a few devotees recorded whatever he said; and amongst them, Nagamma was one.

When Nagamma became an Asramite, she renounced everything and whilst sitting at the feet of the Master she felt an irresistible urge to record the discussions devotees were having with Him and, as she began recording them, found that that work was a sort of sadhana for herself and so began writing them in the shape of letters in Telugu to her brother in Madras. 273 letters were thus written — each one shown to Bhagavan for any corrections before being posted. 

The Asramam published the first 75 letters during the lifetime of Bhagavan and they were read out in His presence

(Sri Ramanasrama Lekhalu in Telugu). The remaining 198 letters were published subsequently in four different volumes. 

The depth of wisdom and knowledge contained in the cryptic sayings of Bhagavan, is a veritable mine of information, presented in a simple and easily understandable manner and is well worth careful study.


This present volume contains the two books published previously under the same author — Letters from

Sri Ramanasramam and Letters and Recollections from

Sri Ramanasramam.
