Ramana Maharshi, who died in 1950, was a great teacher in the non-dualist tradition. He advocated a process of self-enquiry to highlight the consciousness that lies beyond our small and separate sense of self. In this way he continues a philosophy that goes back to the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads.
