Foreword Bhagavan Ramana was once speaking about the great merits of Bhagavad Gita. At that time a devotee complained that it was very difficult to memorise all the seven hundred verses and asked Bhagavan whether there was a single verse that could be meditated upon. Bhagavan then chose verse 20 of chapter X which states 'I am the Self, O Gudakesha, dwelling in the heart of every being, I am the beginning and the middle and also the end of all beings'.

Introduction There are more than three hundred verses in 'Ramana Gita'. Of these, only one verse, the second verse of Chapter two was written in Sanskrit, by Bhagavan Ramana. The other verses are Kavyakanta Ganapathi Muni's record of questions by earnest seekers of truth on different subjects and Bhagavan's reply to them. Some verses are the product of Muni's divine vision of the glory of Sri Ramana as the latest incarnation of Subrahmanya.
