Early Years At Sri Ramanasramam
David Godman first visited the Tiruvannamalai ashram of Sri Ramana Maharshi in 1976. For eight years, between 1978 and 1985, he was the librarian and archivist of the ashram. In the early 1980s he also edited The Mountain Path, a journal published by Sri Ramanasramam.
In the mid-1980s he edited Be As You Are, an anthology of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s teachings which is now published by Penguin. This best selling book has been continuously in print since 1985. Translated and published in at least twelve foreign languages, it is the text through which most people outside India are introduced to Sri Ramana Maharshi’s teachings.

“Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
