[Advaita-l] Rainbow Body

[Murali k]

Hi  Sriram/All,

I follow the teachings of Sri Ramana and am curious to know if there are
any accurate translations of this works in English. I do not know Tamil and
hence
have to resort to translations.

If you are familiar with any accurate translations, Please do let me know.

Thanks,
Murali
