FOREWORD
Everyone knows that Sri Bhagavan Ramana was a master story teller! Sri Ramanasramam publications, like Letters, Day by Day, and Talks, abound with marvellous accounts of how Bhagavan picturesquely narrated, rather enacted, incidents that took place in the lives of sages and saints and traditional stories of great spiritual content, like the story of Sage Ribhu.
Seeing how the first edition of this book was serving devotees, the compiler, Mrs. Joan Greenblatt, worked onepointed to enlarge and improve it; the result is the excellent second edition now in your hand!
We hope all seekers will find this book both interesting and enlightening and partake of the Spiritual Presence which lies within its pages and the abundant grace of the narrator Sri Ramana Himself!
