One book is THE SPIRITUAL TEACHING OF RAMANA MAHARSHI with a Foreword by C.G. Jung publishedby Shambhala (Boulder & London) part of The Clear Light Series. The book consists of questions from truth seekers and the answers from Ramana Maharshi covering all kinds of topics of spiritual sadhana - not just the atma-vichara but other paths are discussed. The other book is Be As You Are - THE TEACHINGS OF SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI edited by David Godman published by Arkana (london,Boston,Melbourne, and Henly). David Godman is a student of Sri Ramana and is the librarian of Sri Ramana's ashram and a former editor of The Mountain Path, a journal which propagates the teachings of Sri Ramana. This book is quite excellent - its like the book mentioned above with the edition of explanatory or introductory comments from the editor at the beginning of each chapter (each chapter covering a particular spiritual topic). The comments are quite informative but tend to be less generous than Sri Ramana himself of other spiritual paths such as Raja Yoga.
