Site of the week:
-----------------
Find the answers for the neverending, debatable questions like -
"Who am I ?", "Is not everything the work of God ?", "What is the nature
of the Self ?", etc, etc, from the downloadable books available at
Ramana Maharishi's home page, a pure Advaitist from Tiruvannamalai (fyi,
it is my home town).

The writings and the translations were made with the little knowledge, I had then and hence may not be exact.
