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.
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man's head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
-Swami Vivekananda
