A valuable introduction to the Authentic Ramana Maharshi
What sets this book apart is that it feels like a first hand account of the dialouges and happenings in the ashram.It is not a strongly boiled down theoretical treatise on spirituality, as many other books published on Ramana. It's a joy to read and i feel myself travelling back in time and sitting in the ashram myself.Through the rich descriptions one can get a much more authentic idea of what Ramana was like and how he interacted with his students.In that sense this book can be a very valuable introduction to Ramana and to the concept of a guru / spiritual teacher which is so unpopular in the west, however much needed. This book makes him available, to anyone i would say.I bought 2 copies for friends who have never heard of him and they love it.So I can only highly recommend the book to anyone familiar or not with Ramana!

Newly discovered, essential teachings
I read somewhere that Talks with Ramana Maharshi was considered the prose bible, and Guru Vachaka Kovai the verse bible in the Ramana Maharshi teaching. I broadly agree but would modify that statement by including all of Muruganar’s poetic output. So, In English translation, Padamalai and The Shining of My Lord would be elevated to canonical status on the verse side. On the prose side, in the genre of dialogues, Living by the Words of Bhagavan includes excellent teachings recorded by Annamalai Swami, and now there is this recently published Aham Sphurana, consisting of dialogues with Bhagavan in 1936. If you like Talks and the dialogue format in general, check this book out.These talks, which were recently brought to light, were recorded in notebooks by a disciple after months spent with Bhagavan in 1936. While there has been some controversy about the authenticity of the notebooks, the voice of Bhagavan and the value of the instruction seems unmistakable. The notebooks from which this book is edited comprise a newly found treasure trove of Bhagavan’s teaching, and his voice comes alive. For any serious student of the Maharshi, this book is essential.
