Foreword
A wealth of information about different aspects of Yoga has accumulated in the quarterly journal of "Yoga Mimamsa" starting from the year 1924. The Publication was meant to cover scientific research, semi scientific and popular articles to meet the needs of individuals with scientific and literary backgrounds interested in the know-ledge about Yoga. This valuable information was getting out of the reach of the interested individuals because of the availability of the journal only in limited number of libraries and also non-availability of the back volumes. The limitation of only part of the journal being of interest to an individual of particular background did not encourage him to invest in the total volume even if it could be made available by the publisher. This need has been aptly met by the present publication which gives the abstracts of the articles belonging to all the topics.
The Editor has made a laudable effort in categorising the abstracts according to the yogic practices or their applied relevance i.e. to education, treatment etc., thus presenting the subject matter at a glance. Each of these classified aspects of Yoga have been further compiled under the three sections of the "Yoga Mimamsa" to enable quick location of the material in which the reader be interested.
Even the books and monographs published by the Kaivalyadhama have been annoted. A further effort has been made in preparing the subject and author index.
Dr. M. V. Bholes long experience as Yoga practitioner, teacher, researcher and a medical scientists has enabled him to give a clear and concise arrangement to the information printed in "Yoga Mimamsa" from the year 1924 to 1984. He deserves a most profound gratitude of students and experts of Yoga for this meticulo

Description:
Is there a book while reading which,the reader feels increasingly drawn towards his own self even if it is the very first spiritual book that he reads? The Ribhu Gita is one such. There is no greater testimony to the unique value of Ribhu Gita than the fact that Bhagavan Ramana himself told one of his little educated devotees,Sampurnamma;It does not matter if you donn't understand the book.Just go through it ,it will be of immense benefit to you; Bhagavan would then often say that the recitation of Ribhu Gita is as good as Samadhi and would himself take part in the recitation. So,let us read,chant and be absorbed in His Grace.

Description:
This work contains all the inspired compositons 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 Realization. Altogether they represent a clear, direct guide for seekers of truth, whether they follow the path of Bhakti (devotion) or Jnana (knowledge).
The Thirteenth Edition has just been released.A few additions of prominent disciples have been added but most of the pages still remain Arthur Osborne's. Ramana was a silent Teacher, if there was one. It would be more appropriate to call him the Silent One, for teaching denotes duality, the teacher and taught, while Ramana was, as a devotee wrote, the Pure Non-dual Essence. His most direct and profound teaching was transmitted in silence. However, how many were there that could immediately hear or experience the unspoken, the unwritten word? Devotees and visitors asked questions and out of his boundless compassion Bhagavan answered them in his own inimitable way, as the following excerpts will show. It was in 1911 that the first westerner, Frank Humphreys, then a policeman stationed in India, discovered Sri Ramana and wrote articles about him which were first published in The International Psychic Gazette in 1913. However, Sri Ramana only became relatively well known in and out of India after 1934 when Paul Brunton, having first visited Sri Ramana in January 1931, published the book A Search in Secret India, which became very popular. Resulting visitors included Paramahansa Yogananda, Somerset Maugham (whose 1944 novel The Razor's Edge models its spiritual guru after Sri Ramana), Mercedes de Acosta, Julian P. Johnson, and Arthur Osborne. Sri Ramana's relative fame spread throughout the 1940s. However, even as his fame spread, Sri Ramana was noted for his belief in the power of silence and his relatively sparse use of speech, as well as his lack of concern for fame or criticism.His lifestyle remained that of a renunciate. This work contains almost everything written by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. His inspired compositions, and a number of translations from ancient Advaitic texts, representing the essence of his teachings. They fall into two categories--those which exemplify the path of surrender through love and devotion to the Divine, and those which are more doctrinal. The first group includes the Five Hymns to Sri Arunachala of which the first poem, The Marital Garland Of Letters "is among the most profound and moving poems in any language" and expresses the attitude of the soul aspiring for union with God. Sri Bhagavan has affirmed that seekers who study these works are certain to attain the bliss of liberation.
Editorial Reviews
The words of this sage still flame out in my memory like beacon of lights. "I pluck golden fruit from rare meetings with wise men" wrote Trans-Atlantic Emerson in his diary, and it is certain that I plucked whole basketfuls during my meetings with this man. Our best Philosophers of Europe could not hold a candle to him... --Paul Brunton in his famous book :In Search Of Secret India
About the Author
Sri Ramana Maharshi (December 30, 1879- April 14, 1950), born Venkataraman Iyer, was an Indian sage. He was born to a Tamil-speaking Brahmin family in Tiruchuzhi, Tamil Nadu. After having attained liberation at the age of 16, he left home for Arunachala, a mountain considered sacred by Hindus, at Tiruvannamalai, and lived there for the rest of his life. Arunachala is located in Tamil Nadu, South India. Although born a Brahmin, after having attained moksha he declared himself an "Atiasrami", a Sastraic state of unattachment to anything in life and beyond all caste restrictions.Sri Ramana maintained that the purest form of his teachings was the powerful silence which radiated from his presence and quieted the minds of those attuned to it. He gave verbal teachings only for the benefit of those who could not understand his silence.His verbal teachings were said to flow from his direct experience of Consciousness (Atman) as the only existing reality. When asked for advice, he recommended self-enquiry as the fastest path to moksha. Though his primary teaching is associated with Non-dualism, Advaita Vedanta, and Jnana yoga, he recommended Bhakti to those he saw were fit for it, and gave his approval to a variety of paths and practices. Family Background Sri Ramana was born in a village called Tiruchuli near Madurai in Tamil Nadu, South India on Arudra Darshanam day, into an orthodox Hindu Tamil (Iyer) family, the second of four children of Sundaram Iyer (1845-1892) and Azhagammal (?-1922), and named Venkataraman at birth. His siblings were Nagaswamy (1877-1900), Nagasundaram (1886-1953) and sister Alamelu (1891/92-1953). Venkataraman's father was a respected pleader.[6] [edit] Childhood Venkataraman seemed a normal child with no apparent signs of future greatness. He was popular, good at sports, very intelligent but lazy at school, indulged in an average amount of mischief, and showed little religious interest. He did have a few unusual traits. When he slept, he went into such a deep state of unconsciousness that his friends could physically assault his body without waking him up. He also had an extraordinary amount of luck. In team games, whichever side he played for always won. This earned him the nickname 'Tangakai', which means 'golden hand'[7]. When Venkataraman was about 11, his father sent him to live with his paternal uncle Subbaiyar in Dindigul because he wanted his sons to be educated in English so they would be eligible to enter government service and only Tamil was taught at the village school in Tiruchuzhi. In 1891, when his uncle was transferred to Madurai, Venkataraman and his older brother Nagaswami moved with him.

The Bhagavad Gita is an episode in one of India's two great epic poems,the Mahabharata.This is a vast work,many times longer than the Homeric poems.It contains a wealth of mythology and much religious and ethical teaching but is mainly centred around the quarrel between the Pandavas and Kauravas culminating in the battle of Kurukshetra. The book has Sanskrit Text,English Transliteration and English Translation.
About the Author
Arthur Osborne (1906 1970) was an English writer on spirituality and mysticism, and an influential disciple and biographer of Ramana Maharshi. When one of Osborne's books, Ramana Maharshi and The Path of Self Knowledge, was first published in 1954, it contained a foreword from Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, at that time vice president of India.[1] From 1964, Osborne served as the founding editor of Mountain Path, a journal published by Ramanasramam, the ashram founded by the devotees of Ramana Maharshi. Osborne has also been a biographer of Shirdi Sai Baba, another saint-fakir, who lived a humble life in a masjid at Shirdi. During his life time Ramana Maharshi directed several disciples to go to Shirdi as Sai Baba was their guru. Prominent among them was B.V.Narasimha Swami who was also a biographer of Ramana Maharshi and spent a considerable time at Ramana Ashram at the lotus feet of Ramana Maharshi. .

Editorial Reviews
This is not a book to be lightly read and laid aside;it is bound to prove to be an unfailing guide to increasing numbers of pilgrims to the Light Everlasting.Despite the fact that the great Sage of Arunachala taught for the most part through silence,he did instruct through speech also,and that too,lucidly,without baffling and beclouding the minds of his listeners.One would wish that every word that he uttered had been preserved for posterity.But we have to be thankful for what little of the utterances has been put on record.Sri Ramana's central teachng is:Self-inquiry.Instead of wanting to know this and that,seek to know the Self.Ask'Who Am I?' instead of asking about hundred other things.Self-inquiry ought to be the easiest of all tasks.But it seems to be the most difficult because we have become strangers to our Self.What one has to do is simple..to abide as the Self.This is the ultimate truth.This is one's eternal,natural,inherent state.Sri Ramana's teachings found in the "Talks"will bring hope to everyone.No one need think that he is beyond the pale of redemption. --Dr..T.M.P.Mahadevan

This teaching, notwithstanding what the historians say of its age and authorship, is regarded by many as a development and an elucidation the instructions He had given to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra and form the celebrated Bhagavad Gita.

Description:
It is similar to Periyapuranam and gives an account of the lives of the sixty-three Nayanmars, the Shaivite saints of south India. Sri Ramanana Maharshi was profoundly influenced by the lives of these Nayanmars.
Devotees of Sri Ramana Maharshi are well aware that he was profoundly influenced by the Periapuranam containing the lives of the Nayanmars, the sixtythree Saivite saints. Even after realizing the Self he prayed before the images of the Nayanmars at the Meenakshi temple that he may become a devotee like them! Sivabhakta Vilasam is similar to the Periapuranam and gives an account in Sanskrit of the lives of the Nayanmars. It has its origin in an episode in Kailasa when a congregation of rishis saw a brilliant light descending before them. Maharshi Upamanyu explained to the assembled rishis that it was Sundara, the preeminent Nayanar who came in that form. He also revealed the names and stories of all the sixtythree Nayanmars. This account by Maharshi Upamanyu was later given to others by Sri Suta Muni and Agastya Rishi. The present translation of Sivabhakta Vilasam into Enlglish is by Lingeswara Rao, a fellow devotee.
