Swami Brahmananda was Sri Ramakrishna`s spiritual son and the first President of the Ramakrishna Order. This is a compilation of the personal accounts of numerous people who intimately knew Maharaj (as the Swami was reverentially called), and had many occasions to closely observe his daily life and day-to-day dealings. The charm of his unassuming personality and the silent influence of his deep spirituality left a lasting influence on all those who came in touch with him.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
