Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00327)

Krishtar,

Sri Ramana Maharshi wrote.
And he taught to his disciples.
There are many books with his oral teachings both in English and in 
Portuguese.
I will bring here a small bibliography about him  -- tomorrow, since I am
not at home now.
Ramana Maharshi's teachings have many points in common with HPB's Theosophy  
--- as I
see it.
And his disciple Paul Brunton wrote some  important books, too, with no
need to use the label "theosophical".  Things go beyond names, of course.
There is a lot of untheosotphical things under theosophical names, and most
theosophical books don't use this "label".  For instance, the neostoic 
philosopher Epictetus
can be considered a "theosophist" in the real sense of the word. And many, 
many  others...

Carlos.
