Living By the Words of Bhagavan

The best book to study to discover what it was like to be a close disciple or devotee of Ramana Maharshi. Annamalai Swami worked with and moved closely with Ramana for many years, after coming to Arunachala as a young man. Annamalai not only built most of the original stone structures in Ramanasramam still to be seen today, but also did sadhana and worked with Ramana on his own psyche or spiritual 'growth'. Chapters include details on building the ashram and the battles Annamalai Swami faced with Ramana's brother, Chinnaswami; diary details of being in the Old Hall with Ramana; and a teachings section, putting Ramana's personal teachings to him into his own words and advice to others treading the Mountain Path of Self Inquiry. Along with Final Talks of Annamalai Swami this book details all aspects of his life and later teachings.
