This book comprises four hymns in praise of, and supplication to, Sri Ramakrishna and Sri Sarada Devi. These hymns are sung in the ashramas of the Ramakrishna Order and also in thousands of homes of their devotees during vespers. Swami Harshananda's translation of these beautiful hymns and commentaries on them reveal their hidden meaning and help the readers comprehend their spiritual significance.
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
