Swami
Prabhavananda, a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order of India, is
a noted author on religion and philosophy and a translator of
India’s spiritual classics. His point of view is different from
that of a Western scholar, in that he speaks always as one born to
the religious tradition of India. The aim of the
Prabhavananda-Manchester translation has been to convey in clear
and simple English the sense and spirit of the original.

beginnings to its sublime end."

distinguished literary work." - Time Magazine

readable interpretive translation."- American
