This book contains the life (in brief) and teachings of an extraordinary personality, Swami Premananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. He was, indeed, a man of God, and was the very personification of prema, love. He drew others to him by his extraordinary love and breadth of heart. Those who came in touch with him were completely transformed. His was a life that is sure to inspire one and all even now .
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
