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.
Anything that is secret and mysterious in these systems of yoga should be at once rejected. The best guide in life is strength. In religion, as in all other matters, discard everything that weakens you, have nothing to do with it.
-Swami Vivekananda
