Sri Ramakrishna: God of All
This book published by Advaita Ashrama, Publication House of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, is an English translation by Swami Sunirmalananda of the original Bengali book Ek Natun Manush containing six essays on the great Master by Revered Swami Atmasthanandaji Maharaj, the 15th President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. Swami Vivekananda once said: ‘Sri Ramakrishna is not exactly what the ordinary followers have comprehended him to be. He had infinite moods and phases.’ On another occasion he said, ‘Basketfuls of philosophical books can be written on each single sentence spoken by the Master!’ The thought-provoking essays of this book are the results of the revered author’s reverential reflection on that great life. It is hoped that a study of them will help the readers towards acquiring deeper reverence and comprehension of Sri Ramakrishna’s sublime life and profound teachings.
FOOTFALLS... Swami Gambhirananda and other journeys
Swami Gambhirananda (1899 - 1988), a noted Hindu monk, was the eleventh President of the worldwide monastic-philanthropic order of the Ramakrishna Mission, better known in the West as the Vedanta Society. He was a prolific scholar and a spiritual teacher and an indefatigable leader. But these only describe the visible man. His inner life was one of calm and continuous meditation. It has been said that most of the time he was carrying on a mental conversation with the spiritual masters whose lives he had chronicled. A fellow monk has said: "If you want to get close to a real holy man, you try to get close to Swami Gambhirananda."But this is not a story of the Swami as a lone journeyer. It is about him in a group of pilgrims walking towards light: Everyday men and women in their everyday grind; sadhus and sadhvis; and some few persons of note. Here are then modern-day stories of soarings of the human mind as old as man himself: Spirituality.
Swami Yatiswarananda As We Knew Him-Volume 1
‘As I grow older’, said Swami Vivekananda, ‘I find that I look more and more for greatness in little things. I want to know what a great man eats and wears, and how he speaks to his servants [and so on].’ This book presents an intimate picture of Revered Swami Yatiswarananda Maharaj, one such spiritually great man in the Order of Monks founded by Swami Vivekananda—the Ramakrishna Order (popularly known as Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission). This volume does this by putting together the reminiscences of monks, initiated lay devotees or even casual visitors or people who heard his lectures as well as some of the personal letters and instructions he wrote or gave and other related material.
Stories of Vedanta Monks (Vol. 1)
Stories of Vedanta Monks presents the reminiscences of the Second-Generation Monks of the Ramakrishna Order. The monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna constitute the first generation; their disciples in turn constitute the second. The second-generation monks had not seen Sri Ramakrishna. Nevertheless, they met many of the first-generation monks who had lived with Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda. Just as the direct impact of the Holy Trio on the life and character of the first-generation monks is marked and distinct, so is the impact of the first generation of monks on the second. They are repositories of invaluable information about Sri Ramakrishna, his monastic disci...
War Room: The People, Tactics and Technology behind Narendra Modi's 2014 Win
‘War Room stands out as an example of real field work and rigorous research... Anyone who wants to understand how decisions are made in India should read this brilliant study of the BJP.’ —Dr. Walter K. Andersen, Author of The Brotherhood in Saffron: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Hindu Revivalism ‘Ullekh NP has crafted a well-researched and gripping narrative of how the BJP seized the moment in 2014.

God's Dog: Memories, Confessions, Dreams & Revelations of a Modern Mystic
This is the extraordinary true tale of a middle-class, gay American's path to encounters with the Great Mystery that is God/dess/Self.
