I'm not a real fan of Ramana. As in many things I think Ramana is full of it--although I do realize he is an icon among a certain set. Videha-mukti is sometimes misinterpreted as being after the body goes, but that is an error. It refers to something entirely different. If I don't see that interpretation--I would seriously question the commentary. Even M. believes Videhamukti is Unity if the recent Shearer trans. of the YS is any indication. If one understands *what videhamukti refers to, then one will also understand what happens in Unity C.
