In the thirteen short biographies the book contains the author brings alive a galaxy of Swami Vivekananda?s principal monastic disciples and shows how, through their spiritual practices and devoted service of God-in-man, they exemplified the neo-monastic ideal. In addition, through the stories of these disciples we get new glimpses of Swamiji?s extraordinary personality and also see him as a loving spiritual trainer of monks. A book sure to inspire one and all.
Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails -- our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
