A Guide To Spiritual Life: Spiritual Teachings of Swami Brahmananda

When I first joined the monastery of the Ramakrishna Order, I used to ask spiritual questions of senior monks who were disciples of Holy Mother, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Brahmananda, or Swami Shivananda.

On one occasion a monastic disciple of Swami Brahmananda told me: "Read Vb>Dharmaprasange Swami Brahmananda (Spiritual Teachings of Swami Brahmananda); then you will not have to ask spiritual questions of anybody." Truly speaking, that book became my spiritual guide...

Thus Swami Chetanananda Swami Chetanananda has translated Dharmaprasange from the original Bengali bringing this spiritual classic to the grateful attention of English readers.Swami Brahmananda was a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna and the first president of the Ramakrishna order.

Swami Chetanananda is the head minister of the Vedanta Society of St.
