At the age of five, the future Swami Vireshwarananda was blessed by Swami Vivekananda, later initiated by Sri Sarada Devi, and ultimately Sannyasa from Swami Brahmananda. Swami Vireswarananda went on to become the tenth President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. He held that position for nineteen years, a tenure second only to Swami Brahmananda. This beautiful biographic essay, is enhanced by nearly 1000 pictures of the Swami and the people and places that accompanied him through his long life.
We must plunge heart and soul and body into the work. And until we are ready to sacrifice everything else to one Idea and to one alone, we never, never will see the Light.
-Swami Vivekananda
