Below is a list of sources I've been using for references.
I don't know if this could be perceived as an advertisement (I have no stocks of these guys, I only spend money on them), but there is one publisher I absolutely recommend:
Motilal Banarsidass. Their publications on Asian religions are fabulous. If you're able to purchase their publications, you're a lucky person.

Biographies
There are several sources on the life of Ramana Maharshi, both from contemporaries and eye-witnesses, and from later biographers who rely on those first-hand sources. Later biographies by contemporaries or closely involved persons were partly or largely based on these early biographies, as well as other eye-witness-accounts. The main biographies from contemporaries and eye-witnesses are:
Narasimha Swami (2002) [1931],
Self Realisation: The Life and Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Ramanasraman,
ISBN8188225746. Classic biography of Ramana Maharshi,which served as the basis of several other biographies, though "long stretches of it seem to be little more than compilations of reminiscences and anecotes in circulation at Sri Ramana's ashram."[web 1]
Brunton, Paul (1935),
A Search in Secret India. A report on Brunton's travels in India, this book introduced Ramana Maharshi to a larger western audience.[1]
Bhikshu, Krishna (2004) [1936],
Sri Ramana Leela, Sri Ramanasramam Originally written in
Telugu.
Osborne, Arthur (2002) [1954],
Ramana Maharshi and the Path of Self-Knowledge(PDF), Tiruvannamalai: Sriramanasasram. Biography by Arthur Osborne, himself a long-term devotee of Ramana Maharshi, and the first editor of
Mountain Path, the magazine published by Ramanashram.
Suggestions by Ms Sarah Welch
RG Bhandarkar,
Vaiṣṇavism, Śaivism and Minor Religious Systems; a source that is dated and old, but a good influential overview of pre-20th century Saivism literature / epigraphy / archeology / earliest history of Shaivism, in Part 2, page 102 onwards
Surendranath Dasgupta, A History of Indian Philosophy: Vol. 5, The Southern Schools of Śaivism, Cambridge University Press; discusses Tamil Śaiva Siddhanta, also Himalayan Saivism such as around Pashupata, Shiva in Puranas
VS Pathak, History of Saiva Cults in Northern India from Inscriptions: 700 AD to 1200 AD, Motilal Banarsidass; Another old (1960) but referred to historical review of epigraphical evidence of various Saiva traditions in medieval Tamil region and other parts of India
Jan Gonda, Medieval Religious Literature in Sanskrit: A History of Indian Literature Vol 2 Part 1; Scholarly Shaivism bibliography - one of the best Saivism bibliography (pre-1980) is covered in chapters 10 to 13.
Norman Cutler (1987), Songs of Experience: The Poetics of Tamil Devotion, Indiana University Press; a good introduction chapter on Tamil Saiva bhakti (with Vaishnava contrast), but see also chapters 2 and 3 for more Tamil Saiva bhakti information
Richard Davis (1991), Ritual in an Oscillating Universe: Worshiping Śiva in Medieval India, Princeton University Press, a good review of medieval era South Indian Saivism, particularly before the shock of Islamic raid and invasion in north and south India, on the relation between the religious doctrines and actual practices.
Gavin Flood (2003), The Śaiva Traditions, in The Blackwell Companion to Hinduism, pages 200–228, a good review and introduction on Saivism, as well tantra in Saivism
David Lorenzen et al, Saivism: An Overview chapter, in Volume 13 of The Encyclopedia of Religion (Editor: Mircea Eliade), Another good review and bibliography (pre-1990)
T Ganesan (2003), Introduction chapter (pages v - xxvii) on Schools of Saivasiddhānta, in Sivajnanabodha: With the Laghutika of Sivagrayogi, a review of Saivism theology
Dominic Goodall (2004), Preface chapter page xii onwards, in The Parakhyatantra: A Scripture of the Saiva Siddhanta; early history of Sanskrit texts in Saivism, provides an interesting theory that Tamil Saivism was different in some ways than pan-Indian Saivism (for WP:NPOV)
Alexis Sanderson, The Saiva Age: The Rise and Dominance of Saivism during the Early Medieval Period, in Genesis and Development of Tantrism (Editor: Shingo Einoo), Good review (of pre-2009 scholarship) on Saivism.
Alexis Sanderson (2010), Ritual for Oneself and Ritual for Others, in Ritual Dynamics and the Science of Ritual, Vol. 2, (Editors: Angelos Chaniotis et al); a good article on rituals and temples, their meaning in Saivism; Alexis Sanderson's lectures at École pratique des Hautes Études are useful if you can get hold of it.
S Hatley (2010), Tantric Saivism in Early Medieval India: Recent Research and Future Directions, Religion Compass, Vol 4, No. 10, pages 615–628; discusses Saivism in medieval India between 500–1200 CE, Saiva Agamas, Puranas and other literature, discusses relationship between Saivism and Buddhism (mostly from tantra perspective)
I had posted some leads on your talk page, @JJ, for Tamil Saiva influence on southeast Asia and Saivism-Buddhism syncretism – worth a look, as it is indeed fascinating from cultural-historical perspectives.

In 2001,
Richard Read, a two-time
Pulitzer Prize-winning
Americanjournalist and a senior staff writer for The Oregonian newspaper in
Portland, Oregon, published a series of four articles on Swami Chetananda, titled "In the grip of the guru".
[10][11][12](David Craig (2006), The Ethics of the Story: Using Narrative Techniques Responsibly in Journalism, p.79 note 30) "Read spent three years working on the project, interviewed more than 100 people and reviewed thousands of pages of property, bank, court and police documents. He also listened to dozens of hours of Chetanananda's taped lectures and participated in introductory meditation training at the institute."

I don't know if this could be perceived as an advertisement (I have no stocks of these guys, I only spend money on them), but there is one publisher I absolutely recommend:
Motilal Banarsidass. Their publications on Asian religions are fabulous. If you're able to purchase their publications, you're a lucky person.

Biographies
There are several sources on the life of Ramana Maharshi, both from contemporaries and eye-witnesses, and from later biographers who rely on those first-hand sources. Later biographies by contemporaries or closely involved persons were partly or largely based on these early biographies, as well as other eye-witness-accounts. The main biographies from contemporaries and eye-witnesses are:
Narasimha Swami (2002) [1931],
Self Realisation: The Life and Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Ramanasraman,
ISBN8188225746. Classic biography of Ramana Maharshi,which served as the basis of several other biographies, though "long stretches of it seem to be little more than compilations of reminiscences and anecotes in circulation at Sri Ramana's ashram."[web 1]
Brunton, Paul (1935),
A Search in Secret India. A report on Brunton's travels in India, this book introduced Ramana Maharshi to a larger western audience.[1]
Bhikshu, Krishna (2004) [1936],
Sri Ramana Leela, Sri Ramanasramam Originally written in
Telugu.
Osborne, Arthur (2002) [1954],
Ramana Maharshi and the Path of Self-Knowledge(PDF), Tiruvannamalai: Sriramanasasram. Biography by Arthur Osborne, himself a long-term devotee of Ramana Maharshi, and the first editor of
Mountain Path, the magazine published by Ramanashram.
Suggestions by Ms Sarah Welch
RG Bhandarkar,
Vaiṣṇavism, Śaivism and Minor Religious Systems; a source that is dated and old, but a good influential overview of pre-20th century Saivism literature / epigraphy / archeology / earliest history of Shaivism, in Part 2, page 102 onwards
Surendranath Dasgupta, A History of Indian Philosophy: Vol. 5, The Southern Schools of Śaivism, Cambridge University Press; discusses Tamil Śaiva Siddhanta, also Himalayan Saivism such as around Pashupata, Shiva in Puranas
VS Pathak, History of Saiva Cults in Northern India from Inscriptions: 700 AD to 1200 AD, Motilal Banarsidass; Another old (1960) but referred to historical review of epigraphical evidence of various Saiva traditions in medieval Tamil region and other parts of India
Jan Gonda, Medieval Religious Literature in Sanskrit: A History of Indian Literature Vol 2 Part 1; Scholarly Shaivism bibliography - one of the best Saivism bibliography (pre-1980) is covered in chapters 10 to 13.
Norman Cutler (1987), Songs of Experience: The Poetics of Tamil Devotion, Indiana University Press; a good introduction chapter on Tamil Saiva bhakti (with Vaishnava contrast), but see also chapters 2 and 3 for more Tamil Saiva bhakti information
Richard Davis (1991), Ritual in an Oscillating Universe: Worshiping Śiva in Medieval India, Princeton University Press, a good review of medieval era South Indian Saivism, particularly before the shock of Islamic raid and invasion in north and south India, on the relation between the religious doctrines and actual practices.
Gavin Flood (2003), The Śaiva Traditions, in The Blackwell Companion to Hinduism, pages 200–228, a good review and introduction on Saivism, as well tantra in Saivism
David Lorenzen et al, Saivism: An Overview chapter, in Volume 13 of The Encyclopedia of Religion (Editor: Mircea Eliade), Another good review and bibliography (pre-1990)
T Ganesan (2003), Introduction chapter (pages v - xxvii) on Schools of Saivasiddhānta, in Sivajnanabodha: With the Laghutika of Sivagrayogi, a review of Saivism theology
Dominic Goodall (2004), Preface chapter page xii onwards, in The Parakhyatantra: A Scripture of the Saiva Siddhanta; early history of Sanskrit texts in Saivism, provides an interesting theory that Tamil Saivism was different in some ways than pan-Indian Saivism (for WP:NPOV)
Alexis Sanderson, The Saiva Age: The Rise and Dominance of Saivism during the Early Medieval Period, in Genesis and Development of Tantrism (Editor: Shingo Einoo), Good review (of pre-2009 scholarship) on Saivism.
Alexis Sanderson (2010), Ritual for Oneself and Ritual for Others, in Ritual Dynamics and the Science of Ritual, Vol. 2, (Editors: Angelos Chaniotis et al); a good article on rituals and temples, their meaning in Saivism; Alexis Sanderson's lectures at École pratique des Hautes Études are useful if you can get hold of it.
S Hatley (2010), Tantric Saivism in Early Medieval India: Recent Research and Future Directions, Religion Compass, Vol 4, No. 10, pages 615–628; discusses Saivism in medieval India between 500–1200 CE, Saiva Agamas, Puranas and other literature, discusses relationship between Saivism and Buddhism (mostly from tantra perspective)
I had posted some leads on your talk page, @JJ, for Tamil Saiva influence on southeast Asia and Saivism-Buddhism syncretism – worth a look, as it is indeed fascinating from cultural-historical perspectives.

In 2001,
Richard Read, a two-time
Pulitzer Prize-winning
Americanjournalist and a senior staff writer for The Oregonian newspaper in
Portland, Oregon, published a series of four articles on Swami Chetananda, titled "In the grip of the guru".
[10][11][12](David Craig (2006), The Ethics of the Story: Using Narrative Techniques Responsibly in Journalism, p.79 note 30) "Read spent three years working on the project, interviewed more than 100 people and reviewed thousands of pages of property, bank, court and police documents. He also listened to dozens of hours of Chetanananda's taped lectures and participated in introductory meditation training at the institute."
