The Great Light that was Sri Ramakrishna disappeared from mortal gaze in 1886. But before it went out, other lights had been kindled from that immortal Flame who received the impact of the brilliance of the original and who transmitted his gospel to thousands of their fellow men both at home and abroad. Among these was Swami Akhandananda, who spontaneously responded to the divine call of his inspired teacher. The present book narrates the life story of this great saint in an interesting and yet simple style.
May I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls--and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
-Swami Vivekananda
