Arthur Osborne (1906 – May 8, 1970) was an English writer on spirituality and mysticism, and an influential disciple and biographer of Ramana Maharshi.
Osborne studied history for two years at Christ Church, Oxford, but left the university dissatisfied with the academic culture.
[1] In 1934 he married Łucja Lipszyc (born in Poland on 15 February 1904), when he was in Warsaw teaching English.
[2] In 1936, he set out on a spiritual quest, which eventually brought him to Ramana Maharshi in 1942.
Thirty years after Osborne's death, his autobiography was discovered among his papers and published by Ramanasramam as My Life and Quest.
