Monastic Disciples Of Swami Vivekananda
By Swami Abjajananda, 336 Pages, Hardcover.
In thirteen short biographies the author brings alive a galaxy of Swami Vivekananda's principal monastic disciples and shows how, through their spiritual practices and devoted service of God-in-man, they exemplified, in manifold ways, the neo-monastic ideal. This ideal is none other than the age-old traditional monasticism of India with a new orientation given to it by their Master for the spiritual regeneration of humanity in modern times. In addition, through the stories of these disciples we get new glimpses of Swamiji's extraordinary personality and also see him as a loving spiritual trainer of monks.
