Recorded oral teaching
Vichara Sangraham (Self-Enquiry)
விசார சங்கிரகம்
The longest doctrinal text of the early years. More technical than Nan Yar, it engages the vocabulary of yoga and Vedanta (the sheaths of the self, the states of waking, dream and deep sleep, breath control) to bring everything back to self-enquiry. It shows a Ramana who knew the classical terminology and used it freely, without binding himself to any school.

Authorship note
Notes written by Ramana around 1900–1902 in reply to Gambhiram Seshayya, who consulted him on books of yoga and Vedanta; collected and later published in dialogue form and, in 1939, as a continuous essay.
