Arthur Osborne (1906–1970) was an ardent devotee of Sri Ramana Maharshi and particularly well known as founder-editor of The Mountain Path, the spiritual journal of Sri Ramanasramam. After completing his studies at Oxford, he moved first to Poland, then to Bangkok, where he lectured at Chulalonghorn University. Through a friend he learnt about French metaphysician René Guénon, whose works dealt comprehensively with Hindu metaphysics, and eventually translated into English Guénon»s Crisis of the Modern World. He later spent four years as a prisoner of war the Japanese before being reunited with his family in Tiruvannamalai. He spent the remainder of his life there, writing about Sri RamanaMaharshi and related subjects until his passing in 1970.
