Advaita Makaranda
The Advaita Makaranda – The Nectar of Non-duality – of Sri Lakshmidhara Kavi is an overlooked diamond, hidden in the treasury of Vedanta literature. The text points to our present experience – the experience of the ordinary soul – and shows how the highest truth is revealed even there, if only we look. As Swami Vivekananda said, “Don’t seek God, just see Him.” The Advaita Makaranda teaches us to see the Truth, here and now. The translation and commentary are provided by Swami Atmarupananda, Minister of the Vedanta Society of Greater Houston, USA, a branch centre of the Ramakrishna Order. Published by Advaita Ashrama. a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India.
Sacred Seed

Now as the integrity of the seed is threatened, so is its primal meaning. Inspired by physicist and environmental leader Dr. Vandana Shiva, each essay draws on the wisdom of ancient and modern traditions. Mystics, shamans, monastics and priests rem...

Greening Philosophy of Religion
Greening Philosophy of Religion: Process, Ecology, and Ethics develops fruitful avenues for the theory and practice of greening philosophy of religion. Collected with a pluralistic conception of both philosophy and religion, the chapters in this volume address pressing and timely issues that involve imagining ecological democracy as an ideal horizon for facing climate catastrophe, with a radical hope and sober vision for realizing a more sustainable planetary economy that places a high value on food sovereignty, an ethic of trust, and inter-religious conversations. Edited by Jea Sophia Oh and John Quiring, this book offers a vital contribution to the fields of philosophy of religion, environmental ethics, religion and ecology, comparative philosophy, and ecotheology—all tuned to the note of process thinking and a deep ecological sensibility.

The four major chapters in this book are about his meetings with Sri Ramakrishna, his travels in India during 1886-1893, media waves about him in India, and his triumphant return from the West in 1897. Analysis of original eyewitness reports in both India and Western newspapers and periodicals forms an integral part of this biography.
SRI SRI RAMAKRISHNA KATHAMRITA CENTENARY MEMORIAL
‘Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita Centenary Memorial' is a Volume published in 1982 on completion of hundred years of Master Mahasay's first meeting with Sri Ramakrishna. This contains articles from prominent sadhus of Sri Ramakrishna Order and devotees on the four subjects 1. Sri Ramakrishna, 2. The Kathamrita, 3. Sri M. and 4. Sri Ma Darshan. The Volume has been, therefore, divided into four parts: 1. Sri Ramakrishna, 2. The Kathamrita, 3. Sri M. and 4. Sri Ma Darshan. Needless to say that the editors were guided into this scheme by Thakur's great dictum: 'Bhakta— Bhagavata-Bhagavan', which if we may interpret means, that God, His Word and His (genuine) Devotee are one and the same. Thus...
Saints and Mystics
This handy book is a bouquet of the condensed life stories and teachings of 14 saints and mystics drawn from different ages, regions and faiths.
