He also managed to draw the Sage into reminiscing about his boyhood days, his death experience at Madurai, the journey to Tiruvannamalal, and about his life during his stay at the temple and on the holy hill Arunachala. Narasimha Swami also learned about the Maharshi’s devotees, their service and contribution towards spreading his glory and message. With deep insight and keen perception, yet in simple, flowing style, he has chronicled the Maharshi’s life and explained his teaching   

The spiritual world cannot but be grateful to the Author, for this work is the first biography of Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of the greatest sages to walk on earth. First published in 1931 when the sage was living in the body, this book has seen several editions and adorns the bookshelf of countless spiritual seekers.
