Swami Akhandananda was one of the sixteen monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. He was one of the pillars of the Ramakrishna Movement's service activities. He practised till the very end of his life his Master's call: Worship jiva as Shiva. This book reminisces the inspiring saga of that adventurous monk who was wholeheartedly dedicated to the tireless service of God in man.
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
