A Sadhu’s Reminiscences of Ramana Maharshi is a rare and intimate account of life with Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, as remembered by Sadhu Arunachala, also known as Major A.W. Chadwick. As one of the earliest Western devotees to live at Sri Ramanasramam, Chadwick provides a firsthand glimpse into the day-to-day life at the ashram and the profound presence of the Sage of Arunachala.

Arriving in 1935, Chadwick quickly became immersed in the teachings and silent guidance of Bhagavan. With a deep sincerity and clarity, he recounts moments of wisdom, humor, and the transformative power of simply being in Ramana Maharshi’s presence. His reminiscences capture the directness and simplicity of Bhagavan’s path of Self-inquiry, while also revealing the love and devotion that naturally arose in those who came near him.

This book stands as a valuable historical and spiritual document, offering a unique Western perspective on one of India’s greatest sages. It is an essential read for seekers drawn to Ramana Maharshi’s teachings and the timeless path of Self-realization.
