An authentic biography of Swami Adbhutananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. Though unlettered and unsophisticated, Latu Maharaj was a knower of God and a personification of simplicity, straightforwardness, and spirituality. The extraordinary life of this great soul shines forth clearly in the pages of this book.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
