Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 New on David Godman's site: Upadesa Undiyar http://www.davidgodman.org/rteach/upadesa_undiyar.shtml Upadesa Undiyar is a thirty-verse philosophical poem composed by Ramana Maharshi in 1927. The original was in Tamil, but Bhagavan later wrote other versions in Telugu, Sanskrit and Malayalam. Sadhu Om and Michael James made a word-for-word translation of the Tamil text in the 1980s and added a long introduction and a commentary on each verse. This work (Upadesa Undiyar of Bhagavan Sri Ramana) was published by Sri Ramana Kshetra but it has been out of print for many years. Since it is not likely to be published again in the near future, I sought and received Michael’s permission to post the whole work on this site. I am also posting Muruganar’s prose rendering of Upadesa Undiyar, translated from Ramana Jnana Bodham, volume nine. Bhagavan asked Muruganar to do this work and checked the final version himself. This is the first time that this work has appeared in English.
