THE GREAT TRANSITION

 

 

PART FIVE

 

 

 

 

 

PUBLICATIONS

 

 

 

During his lifetime the Maharshi showed great interest in Ashram publications and himself revised proofs and made revisions. One of the signs of the continued vitality of the Ashram since his death is the number of its books that have needed new editions and the number of new books it has published. Below is a complete list of books published by the Ashram.
