Notes "Ramana Leela" published by Sri Ramanasrama. ORUGANTI VENKATA KRISHNAYYA (1904-1981) was a lawyer and a government official and also a staunch devotee of Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was a frequent visitor to Sri Ramanasramam right from the early 1930s. In 1936 he published Ramana Leela in Telugu, assuming the name Krishna Bhikshu. This is one of the three biographies of Sri Ramana published during his bodily lifetime. The other two are Self-Realization in English by B. V. Narasimhaswami and Sri Ramana Vijayam in Tamil by Shuddananda Bharati. Krishna Bhikshu later revised his work as Sri Ramana Maharshi himself found some errors pertaining to certain incidents in his life in the first three editions. In April 1949, Krishna Bhikshu sat before Bhagavan and read the book. Bhagavan made several corrections in the text. After this Krishna Bhikshu brought out the fourth edition in 1957. Ramana Leela, therefore, has been seen and corrected by the Master, which adds to its authenticity. There are many rare incidents in this work that are not to be found in the other biographies.
