Ramana, I had read parts of his works - particularly charming style though complex content - and was immediately drawn to the importance of what he was trying to do. I learnt about some demi-secret soceities that go on to this day in USA to continue his work.
His biggest problem was his unfamiliarity with west, and he depended a lot upon the western pupil to propogate his thoughts - and due to this, largely and mostly his ideas got diverted, diluted and then completely hijacked. Well, those like him who looked eastwards also ended up like-wise, like Blavtsky.
But this is matter for some other thread probably.
