Parayana: The Poetic Works of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi

The book contains the full repertoire of daily recitation at Sri Ramanasramam. While it includes devotional hymns written by devotees about Sri Bhagavan, it principally consists of the original Tamil poetry of the Maharshi himself. Presented in roman script with adjoining English translations, this compendium is sure to prove invaluable not only for those who want to chant Sri Ramana's verses, but also for those who long to drink in evermore deeply the boundless wisdom they contain. The texts are arranged in the order it is sung at Sri Ramanasramam during the six-day Tamil Parayana. Brief introductions to each days verses provide the history and circumstances surrounding their genesis. The appendix includes the transliteration and translations of hymns regularly recited at the Ashram.
