Ramana Maharshi said that Ribhu Gita is one step ahead of Ashtavakra Gita. The Ribhu Gita is the best book for the Advaita Vedanta. Ribhu Gita forms the sixth section of the Sanskrit work known as Siva Rahasya. This text gives the absolute path to absolute Bliss or Happiness.
Ribhu Gita: Part 20: The Meaning of the ‘Mahavakyas’ ~Ramana Maharshi ~VendantaZenOneness
It is the teachings of Lord Siva in Mount Kailas to His devotee RIBHU, from whom the Gita derives its name.
The Ribhu Gita was translated into Tamil verse by a Brahmin Vedic scholar of high repute, by name Bikshu Sastri who was also an accomplished scholar in Tamil. He translated the work under the name of Ulaganatha Swami, and because of his efforts attained renowned fame among the Tamil-devotees of Siva.

Ramana Maharshi was an Indian sage and jivanmukta. He was born as Venkataraman Iyer but is most commonly known by the name Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was born in what is now Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, India.
Ramana Maharshi approved several paths and practices but recommended self-inquiry as the principal means to remove ignorance and abide in Self-awareness, together with bhakti (devotion) or surrender to the Self.

ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.
Advaita Vedanta:
Advaita Vedanta is one version of Vedanta. Vedanta is nominally a school of Indian philosophy, although, in reality, it is a label for any hermeneutics that attempts to provide a consistent interpretation of the philosophy of the Upanishads or, more formally, the canonical summary of the Upanisads, Badarayaņa’s Brahma Sutra. Advaita is often translated as “non-dualism” though it literally means “non-secondness.”
Although Śaṅkara is regarded as the promoter of Advaita Vedanta as a distinct school of Indian philosophy, the origins of this school predate Śaṅkara. The
existence of an Advaita tradition is acknowledged by Śaṅkara in his commentaries. The names of Upanṣadic teachers such as Yajñavalkya, Uddalaka, and Bādarāyaņa, the author of the Brahma Sūtra, could be considered as representing the thoughts of early Advaita. The essential philosophy of Advaita is an idealist monism, and is considered to be
presented first in the Upanisads and consolidated in the Brahma Sūtra by this tradition.
According to Advaita metaphysics, Brahman-the ultimate, transcendent and immanent God of the latter Vedas-appears as the world because of its creative energy (māyā). The world has no separate existence apart from Brahman. The experiencing self (jīva) and the transcendental self of the Universe (ātman) are in reality identical (both are Brahman), though the individual self seems different as space within a container seems different from space as such. These cardinal doctrines are represented in the anonymous verse “Brahma Satyam Jagad Mithya; Jivo Brahmaiva Na Aparah” (Brahman is alone True, and this world of plurality is an error; the individual self is not different from Brahman). Plurality is experienced because of error in judgments (Mithya) and ignorance (Avidya). Knowledge of Brahman removes these errors and causes liberation from the cycle of transmigration and worldly bondage.
