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.
Your Atman is the support of the universe -- whose support do you stand in need of? Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
-Swami Vivekananda
