The Boy Who Died into God
Before He Was Bhagavan, He Was a Boy, and Then Death Came for Him On an ordinary afternoon in 1896, a sixteen-year-old Tamil schoolboy lay down on the floor of his uncle's house and allowed death to take him completely.

What remained would one day be known to the world as Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, the sage of Arunachala, one of the most radiant spiritual presences of the modern age. This is the story of how he got there. The Boy Who Died into God is a devoted, unhurried, and deeply reverent account of Ramana Maharshi's early life, from his birth in the sacred Tamil village of Tiruchuzhi, through his boyhood in Madurai, to the thunderclap of his awakening and the irresistible pull that drew him, alone and barefoot, to the holy mountain of Arunachala. It is a book for those who feel in their bones that this story is not merely history, it is a living transmission.
