The Life Divine
Sri Aurobindo
All India Press (1973)

Sri Aurobindo is considered one of the greatest spiritual philosophers of modern India, who through his training as a Western scholar and deep mystical understanding, was able to present the wisdom of the East in a form adapted to Western thought. The Life Divine is a visionary work of great scope and relevance to our present day.

The author, a long-time student of Ramana Maharshi, recorded many of her teacher's talks with students, as well as reminiscences of the daily life at his ashram. The book captures the flavor of life with the great sage and the impact of his profound teachings.

This collection of timeless teachings by one of the great sages of India is regarded by many as a modern spiritual classic. Sri Nisargadatta did not propound any ideology or religion, but gently directed seekers to their real self beyond mind and body.

In a series of dialogues with seekers from all over the world, Sri Nisargadatta conveys the timeless message of Advaita Vedanta in striking concise images.

Ramana Maharshi stressed the essential truth of the Self as the direct path to enlightenment. These question and answer sessions with seekers reveal the skill with which this great master brought the listener back to the ultimate truth through the practice of self-inquiry: Who Am I?

David Godman has assembled a comprehensive collection of conversations between Ramana Maharshi and the many seekers who came to his ashram for spiritual guidance. They contain the essence of his teaching of Self-realization through the process of self-investigation.

Jean Klein was a musicologist and doctor who travelled to India where he was initiated into traditional wisdom and sent to the West to teach Advaita Vedanta. This book is a series of questions and answers in which Klein employs the 'direct approach' pointing to our ultimate state of Being.

In this biography, Arthur Osborne provides a vivid portrait of Ramana Maharshi and a first-hand account of life in his Indian ashram. Osborne gives fascinating details of the impact of his teacher's personality on a number of his followers.

This collection of talks between Sri Nisargadatta and his followers captures the essence of self-inquiry as a means of spiritual transformation. His words are simple and direct, pointing to the self-imposed barriers preventing Self-realization.

The transcribed conversations of Ramana Maharshi are prized for their great inspirational power, which transcend all religious differences. This collection of his instructions and discourses is structured by themes such as peace and happiness, self-realization and the discipline of self-inquiry.

In this collection of question and answer sessions, Jean Klein continually directs attention to our fundamental nature. In a clear and lucid style he offers insights into realizing our true nature of inner peace, beauty and wholeness.

In a series of interchanges with students Klein discusses a range of subjects such as words, language, yoga and personal problems. In each conversation the question is explored in relation to the fundamental basis of all questions -- knowledge of the Self.

Through the direct approach to spiritual enlightenment, Jean Klein engages students in dialogues which challenge their assumptions and point to the timeless wisdom lying within their own presence and awareness -- the eternal 'I Am.'

Based on seminars held in the United States and Europe, the book explores almost every aspect of self-knowledge. Klein also discusses his early life, meetings with his teacher in India and the moment of his awakening.

Klein inquires into the nature of self-knowledge in dialogues with spiritual seekers from around the world. "When the mind is free from knowledge and anticipation it is open to the unknown, available to the all-possible."

This book of the original written works of Ramana Maharshi, including Self-enquiry and Hymns to Arunachala, presents his basic teachings in both prose and verse.
