Online Satsangs

These satsangs are held on the second and last Saturday of every month at 2 pm (UK time). To obtain the Zoom link to participate in any of these Satsangs please contact us.

Presently (Aug 2023) Michael James is answering questions put to him by devotees. Since the meetings are recorded and then shown on YouTube, no private questions will be answered on Zoom.

These talks should be available as usual on the Sri Ramana Teachings channel on YouTube soon after each meeting and a parallel series of articles will be appearing on Michael’s blog.

Books

Books on Ramana Maharshi can be purchased by emailing books@ramana-maharshi.org.uk. Postage will be charged in addition to the prices listed. You will need to provide us with your postal address and state whether you would like to pay by bank transfer or cheque. For devotees living outside the UK, to make an online money transfer, Wise (previously called TransferWise) is a good option. The Foundation does not have any other facility for payment.

Because of the high cost of postage, we recommend that devotees in the USA purchase books from Arunachala Ashram in New York, and that devotees in India obtain books from the Ramanashram Bookstore.


Photographs

These photographs are from a collection of restored images and are available in a high quality format for printing. If anyone would like such a file for their personal use they may email the Foundation giving the file identity name which appears below each photo. The file will then be emailed to them.
