Sri Ramana Videos
The following is a most interesting channelling of Sri Ramana we discovered that was published in July 2017... in this video Bhagavan offers additional guidance and also more detail on how to do his "Who Am I?" meditation. This is the only video we are aware of giving us a modern day channelling of Bhagavan and, while you should always use spiritual discernment with any video, we think you will enjoy this one:

To devotees who begged him to cure himself for the sake of his followers, Sri Ramana is said to have replied, "Why are you so attached to this body? Let it go." and, "Where can I go? I am here."
Visitors would file past the small room where he spent his final days to get one final glimpse. Swami Satyananda, the attendant at the time, reports, "On the evening of 14 April 1950, we were massaging Sri Ramana's body. At about 5 o'clock, he asked us to help him to sit up. Precisely at that moment devotees started chanting 'Arunachala Siva, Arunachala Siva'. When Sri Ramana heard this his face lit up with radiant joy. Tears began to flow from his eyes and continued to flow for a long time. I was wiping them from time to time. I was also giving him spoonfuls of water boiled with ginger. The doctor wanted to administer artificial respiration but Sri Ramana waved it away. Sri Ramana's breathing became gradually slower and slower and at 8:47 p.m. it subsided quietly."
Henri Cartier-Bresson, the French photographer, who had been staying at the ashram for a fortnight prior to Sri Ramana's death, took these last photographs of Sri Ramana on April 4, 1950 and went on to take pictures of the mahasamadhi preparations.
The New York Times concluded: "Here in India, where thousands of so-called holy men claim close tune with the Infinite, it is said that the most remarkable thing about Ramana Maharshi was that he never claimed anything remarkable for himself, yet became one of the most loved and respected of all."
