Namaste,

I have just found a book by Paul Brunton with the title 'Wisdom of the Overself'.
Brunton is the first of the westerns who wrote first about Ramana, introducing him to western people.

What can be known about their friendship, relationship?
Did Paul Brunton really follow Ramana's teaching? Is his writings authentic/trustworthy?
Is it good to read books by Brunton too? As far as I could understand their views are that of advaita, aren't they?


EDIT:

I can't edit the title, and I don't know whether 'relationship' can be used in this context or not.
So I am referring to that fact that Paul Brunton and Ramana met and Brunton learnt from Ramana...and so I am interested in their friendship this way. Sorry if that original word can't be used!
