1. Disciplines of Conduct Essential in the Spiritual Aspirant
Sri Muruganar, the foremost disciple of Bhagavan Ramana, had written in his notes, a collection of ninety-six sayings that bears the title Sādhakarkkuriya Sattāṉa Neṟigaḷ or ‘The Disciplines Essential in the Spiritual Aspirant’. The disciplines (neṟis) deal with both the conduct of a spiritual aspirant as well as those related to self-knowledge. Since Bhagavan deals extensively in his original works on self-knowledge, we have put together in this video only those neṟis that deal with conduct, and then arranged them by topic.  
 
2. Śri Guru Ramaṇa Prasādam
Śri Guru Ramaṇa Prasādam is a devotional work of Sri Muruganar which was translated by Robert Butler. In this video, Jani Butler presents a sample from the book.  
 
3. Śri Ramaṇa Sahasram
Śrī Ramaṇa Sahasram, the full title of which is Śrī Ramaṇa Sahasram eṉṉum Ñāṉa-p Pirārtthaṉai, is a work composed by Sri Sadhu Om consisting of a thousand verses praying for jñāna (self-knowledge). Of these thousand prayers most consist of both a teaching of Bhagavan Ramana as well as a plead for his grace.  
 
4. Śri Ramaṇa Varuhai
Śrī Ramaṇa Varuhai is a 360-verse poetical work composed by Sri Sadhu Om when he was anguishly longing to see Bhagavan Ramana in form after Bhagavan left his body in 1950.
