From the foreword: "Sri Ramanasraman is happy to publish this brilliant English abridgement of a monumental work which Bhagavan Ramana refers to often in his 'Talks'. It will be noted that the translator has included in his selection passages made familiar by Sri Bhagavan.
Bhagavan Ramana encouraged the translator to study the 'Ribhu Gita' as his 'sadhana'. Being a devout student of the classic text, and through the grace of His Master, he is fully competent to translate it. We are now fortunate to have this rare and beautiful translator in our midst."
