Swami Premananda: Love Incarnate
By Brahmachari Akshay Chaitanya, 239 pages, Paperback.
Sri Radha, the living image of love, is described in the bhakti scriptures as the supreme personification of mahabhava. Swami Premananda was born as a part of Sri Radha. He was one of the eternal companions of Sri Ramakrishna in His divine play. The life-stories of each of the direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna represent a particular aspect of spirituality or spiritual mood. Swami Premananda personified the love aspect. He was the very incarnation of Divine Love. Sri Ramakrishna said he was a nitya-siddha, an ishwarakoti. None could ever come in touch with him without being overpowered by the spell of his love—the love that knew no bounds.
