All the photographs of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
and Ganapati Muni are, copyright of Sri Ramanasramam,
Thiruvannamalai. I am grateful to Sri V. S. Ramanan, President,
Board of Trustees, for allowing me to print the photographs in this
Collected Works. Sri A. R. Natarajan, Bangalore, and Dennis
Hartel, U.S.A. have also helped me in getting some photographs.
I thank them for their support. Madam Jane Adams is the artist
who has drawn the beautiful pencil sketches of the Muni. I am
thankful to her and Alan Jacobs of Sri Ramana Foundation, Lon-
don, for permitting me to publish these in the Collected Works.
The publication of the book from handwritten manuscripts
through the use of computer was a new experience for me. Typing,
proof readings, page formatting, planning the entire layout were pos-
sible due to the sincere efforts of Dr. Sampadananda Mishra and
his wife, Prashanti. I cannot imagine publishing the Collected
Works without their help. I sincerely feel that they were specially
chosen and brought into contact with me by the unseen hands of
Grace for the completion of this work. Dr. Sampadananda Mishra
is a budding Sanskrit scholar in his own right and he has helped me
immensely in organising and editing the Collected Works. I am,
indeed, very happy to have him as the Associate Editor of the Col-
lected Works of the Muni. I am very grateful to him and his wife for
all their help and support. I bless and wish them all the very best.
I am grateful to Mr. Rand Hicks of Integral Knowledge
Study Centre, Pensacola, and Mr. Dennis Hartel of Arunachala
Ashrama, New York, USA, for their helpful suggestions.
A few copies of the second Volume of the Collected
Works of the Muni were sanctified by offering at the lotus feet of
Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi at Sri Ramanasramam,
Tiruvannamalai, in the Shivaratri ceremony on 8 March 2005. A
formal release of the Volume was made in a simple ceremony on 9
March 2005 at Ramanasramam. I am grateful to all those who
