Swami Turiyananda was a rare combination of ascecticism, scholarship, devotion and human sympathy. He continued the work of Swami Vivekananda in the United States and served as a lighthouse for all seekers of God.
Nature, body, mind go to death, not we. We neither go nor come. The man Vivekananda is in nature, is born and dies; but the Self we see as Vivekananda is never born and never dies. It is the eternal and unchangeable Reality.
-Swami Vivekananda
