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. They are the true citizens of the world, physical and spiritual. Though they may speak in different tongues they elucidate only the same truth. Their lives beautifully illustrate the dictum ‘Truth is one, though the sages speak of it variously.’ The selection of immortals in the book is only a sample of the innumerable of those who have lived down the centuries and the articles are introductory in nature. Many of the articles have been authored by the monks of the Ramakrishna Order, including one by Swami Vivekananda. These articles first were published in the 1989 annual issue of The Vedanta Kesari, a month of the Ramakrishna Math. The articles in the book give much-needed inspiration to all earnest aspirants and will inspire readers all over the world to take up more detailed studies of these great lives.
Christians Meeting Hindus
"With rare exceptions, serious intentional, reflective and sustained inter-faith encounter is a novel and recent enterprise. This book looks in detail at one such encounter - the intentional recent Hindu-Christian dialogue in India - and asks why and how the practice of dialogue came to replace previous attitudes of confrontation and monologue (especially on the part of Christians). Unlike many other works in the area of inter-faith studies, this work combines both descriptive detail of the actual encounter and critical theological analysis of the strengths and weakness of the dialogue model."--BOOK JACKET.
Spirituality in Modern Literature
Fictional literature, when enkindled with spiritual ideas, creates an appeal that transcends time and place. This has been the case with many literary works produced in India and other parts of the world, and this is so even in our modern times characterized by consumerist culture that hardly sees below the surface of things. A compilation from ‘Prabuddha Bharata’, this book presents to the readers, through a series of articles, a systematic record of some of those writers who added the spiritual dimension to their fictional works in India and the Americas. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math

A Study of Sri Aurobindo's 'Savitri' in the light of The Bhagavad Gita
A study of Sri Aurobindo's "Savitri" in the light of the Bhagavad Gita which was awarded the doctorate in English by the University of Calicut in 1996 is being now published on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo. The thesis was an attempt to establish the intimations of intimacy between Sri Aurobindo's epic poem "Savitri" and the Bhagavad Gita. The influence of the Gita on Sri Aurobindo is well known starting with his vision of Krishna at the Alipore jail and by his own statement that he was not only able to understand intellectually but also realize what Sri Krishna demanded of Arjuna. The cardinal teaching of Gita, "Vasudeva Sarvam iti" provided for him the bedroc...
