Shafts of Light
This is a valuable new guide to the practice of Vedanta and inner yoga: a priceless collection of spiritual instructions from Swami Ashokananda (1893-1969) to his close American disciples.

Let Us Be God
The author, Swami Ashokananda, a disciple of Swami Vivekananda, is renowned for his thought-provoking lectures and articles on Vedanta philosophy and its practical application in daily life as taught by his master.

A Disciple's Journal
This is Sister Gargi's personal account of her spiritual training over two decades by Swami Ashokananda (1893-1969), the illustrious spiritual teacher of the Ramakrishna Order who headed the Vedanta Society of Northern California.

Marie Louise Burke, as she was then known, went on to become a prominent literary figure in the Vedanta movement and later a respected monastic. This story takes readers on a powerful inner journey as Swami Ashokananda transforms the author's self-doubt into a rich and joyful spiritual quest.
THE INFLUENCE OF INDIAN THOUGHT ON THE THOUGHT OF THE WEST
The Life of Vivekananda and the Universal Gospel is a biography of Swami Vivekananda written by the French Nobel Laureate Monsieur Romain Rolland. The book was written in the 1920s. The author was assisted, through correspondence, by Swami Ashokananda, who was at that time the editor of the English journal Prabuddha Bharata. However, in the life of Swami Vivekananda written by M. Rolland, it is evident that the author does not believe that India has had any role in shaping global thought and culture, and nor does he believe that the philosophy of the Upanishads has influenced Western thought in any way. As a rebuttal to M. Rolland’s views on the subject, Swami Ashokananda wrote an article,...
