Swami Prabhavananda came to the United States in the early 1920s where he built up numerous centers with enthusiastic members and monastics. The book is part biography, as well as personal notes from talks given in private to his monastics.

It includes wonderful reminiscences of his association with many of the disciples of Sri Ramakrishna as well as his meetings with Holy Mother, Sri Sarada Devi. Since his passing in 1976, this collection of his teachings to the monastics was quietly passed around to other monastics and devotees.

Now, 40 years after his passing, this very personal and inspiring material is available to the public and available for purchase.
