Swami Vivekananda chose the orthodox Swami Ramakrishnananda to establish Sri Ramakrishna?s teachings in southern India, because he felt that he was 'unsurpassed in his worship and meditation on God'. This book contains his life and work, reminiscences about him, and a selection of his sayings.
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
