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.
I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
-Swami Vivekananda
