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.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
