The Saga of A Great Soul - Life and Work of Swami Shivananda
Swami Vividishananda
Swami Shivananda was a monk of such sublime spiritual realizations that Swami Vivekananda called him Mahapurush, a Great Soul. He was the second President of the Ramakrishna Order. Many observations and reminiscences by Swami Shivananda himself are included in this biography written by one who was long associated with him. Foreword by Christopher Isherwood.
What the world wants is character. The world is in need of those whose life is one burning love -- selfless. That love will make every word tell like a thunderbolt. Aware, awake, great souls! The world is burning in misery. Can you sleep?
-Swami Vivekananda
