This is a comprehensive selection of dialogues with Sri Ramana Maharshi, with brief, insightful explanatory notes that clarify and simplify the practical application of his teachings.

In The Teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi in His Own Words Arthur Osborne has succeeded in presenting in a brief compass the essential teaching of the Maharshi, through a process of selection from his dialogues and written works. The matter has been classified under distinct subjects. This book fulfills the need for a short, reliable compendium of Sri Bhagavan’s instructions — which in earlier years were available mostly in the form of diaries. The notes of the author are of great value.
