Mrs Muktha Manu is a devotee of Bhagavan Sri Ramana and resides in Bangalore. She came into the fold of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi when she got married in 1965 through the family of her husband, Sri. R. Manu. She was hardly aware when she was young that she could write books. She was inspired and blessed by Bhagavan to write books on Lord Arunachala and Sri Bhagavan Ramana at the age of 64. She has written books both in English and in her mother tongue Kannada.
She has written two books in Kannada, 'Prani Mitra Bhagavan Ramana' and 'Arunachala Mahatme' and two in English 'A Guide to Giripradakshina' with Sri. Richard Clark and Sri. Peter Berking and 'Bhagavan Ramana, A Friend of All', which are published by Sri Ramanasramam, Thiruvannamalai, and all of them have been reprinted.
Peter Berking lives in Vienna, VIrginia, USA. He is a learning technology consultant.
He was captivated by a picture of Ramana in 1974, but didn't become a serious devotee until 1986, after starting to read Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi. In 2002, he made his way to Sri Ramanasramam, and has been going there every year for as much time as he can spare. He is an ardent practitioner of Giripradakshina, especially on the Inner Path, and has written another book with Muktha Manu called A Guide to Giripradakshina.
Another central part of his practice is daily singing of Ramana's devotional hymns to Arunachala, the Stuti Panchakam.
