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.
Understanding human nature is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing it can we know God. It is also a fact that the knowledge of God is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing God can we understand human nature.
-Swami Vivekananda
