Description
Ramana Maharshi is a Sage who in our time taught and exemplified jnana marga, the path of knowledge pointed out earlier by Buddha and Sankara. In this inspiring biography of a man of love, peace and humility, the author has brought out effectively the Sage’s preoccupation with the quest for self-knowledge: by no means an obsolete way of life, perhaps even an answer to the troubled mind of modern man.
