The advent of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa represents the dawn of a new age in India who has been a magnet drawing human souls unto him both while alive on earth and after his passing. The man who comprehended him in entirely, by rising to his own height of effulgence, was none other than Swami Vivekananda, his foremost disciple, co-partner, and heir. In the present book, ‘Sri Ramakrishna As I Saw Him’, we can find a full picture of Sri Ramakrishna in Vivekananda’s own words and all his utterances on Sri Ramakrishna.

Swami Adbhutananda was a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. Although he never underwent any formal education, he was a perfect knower of God and a personification of simplicity, straightforwardness and spirituality. This book is a translation of the original Bengali Sri Sri Latu Maharajer Smritikatha written by Chandrashekar Chattopadhyay. It is a charming account of Adbhutananada’s association with Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, Swami Vivekananda and other disciples. It also provides intimate glimpses of his austere life, devotion to God, dispassion towards the world, and intense spiritual practices.

An indispensable memoir by one of the most prominent writers of his generation Originally published in 1976, Christopher and His Kind covers the most memorable ten years in the writer's life—from 1928, when Christopher Isherwood left England to spend a week in Berlin and decided to stay there indefinitely, to 1939, when he arrived in America. His friends and colleagues during this time included W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, and E. M. Forster, as well as colorful figures he met in Germany and later fictionalized in his two Berlin novels—and who appeared again, fictionalized to an even greater degree, in I Am a Camera and Cabaret. What most impressed the first readers of this memoir, however, was the candor with which he describes his life in gay Berlin of the 1930s and his struggles to save his companion, a German man named Heinz, from the Nazis. An engrossing and dramatic story and a fascinating glimpse into a little-known world, Christopher and His Kind remains one of Isherwood's greatest achievements.

Sri Ramakrishna's life is a life of spirituality in practice, a sublime sonnet with a singular note of God consciousness, a summary of all that the scriptures of the world have to say, and even much more. To contain such a boundless life and personality within a few pages is certainly as audacious a task as to attempt to contain the ocean in a pot. Yet this book published by Advaita Ashrama, a Publication House of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, humbly attempts to portray his life and personality in a clear and candid style.
