The volume contains the life stories of sixteen disciples of Sri Ramakrishna along with some of their teachings and shows that each one of them was a gigantic spiritual personality — superb in character, unique in achievement, and an asset to humanity. When one considers this, one wonders how so many almost super-human characters could cluster together at one and the same time. Truly, Sri Ramakrishna, a great jeweller as he was, could collect so many jewels and leave them as a legacy to the world.

The East and the West
$3.00 Add to cartThe East and the West
Underlying the many observations that Swami Vivekananda makes in this book is the message: Every nation is the expression of an idea. “This idea is working for the world and is necessary for its preservation.” “Every nation has a national purpose of its own.” East and West have much to learn from each other, but each is to be true to its own genius and vocation. Remaining of the East, Swami Vivekananda drank of what was good in the West. He gave himself to the world, and his teaching is for the world.

The Master As I Saw Him
$15.50 Add to cartThe Master As I Saw Him
Swami Vivekananda said to Sister Nivedita: “It is no superstition with you, I am sure, you have the making in you of a world mover, and others will also come. Bold words and bolder deeds are what we want. Awake, awake great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you sleep?” “In nothing, perhaps, did the personal freedom of Vivekananda show itself more plainly than in his grasp of the continuity of national life. The new form was always, to him, sanctified by the old consecration. To draw pictures of the goddess Saraswati was, according to him, “to worship her”. The old Bhakti of the cow showed how receptive was the spirit of Hindu society of new and scientific methods of dairy farming, and the pasturing and the care of animals… Study was tapasya, and Hindu meditativeness an aid to scientific insight. All work was a form of renunciation. Love, even of home and family, was always capable of being wrought into a grander and more universal passion…”.
