Days In an Indian Monastery
By Sister Devamata, 326 pages, Paperback.
Sister Devamata went to India in 1909, when the sight of a sincere and reverential white face approaching a Hindu temple was rare enough to elicit special attention. She spent almost two years under the intimate guidance of Swami Ramakrishnananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. She lived in close contact with Holy Mother, Swami Brahmananda, and their sacred spiritual spiritual circle. She witnessed and chronicled the religious life of India, partaking of it all with a keen eye and an appreciative and sensitive heart. GAYATRI DEVI
