Raman Maharshi Perhaps the most logical thinker ever produced in the orient, Raman Maharshi, was the philosophers' philosopher. His concepts of destiny and free-will have drawn devotees from all parts of the world. Though a votary of non-dualism (advaita) he also advocated devotion as a definitive way to God-realisation. The book contains not only his life history but also the essence of the gem of thoughts that he disseminated apart from their independent scrutiny with a rational approach.
