The Universal Vivekananda
In the whole range of religious biography, we hardly come across a personality more dynamic and forceful than Swami Vivekananda. The book published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, contains seventeen articles revealing different aspects of Swami Vivekananda’s multi-faceted genius. These articles are mainly from the book Swami Vivekananda in East and West published by the Ramakrishna Vedanta Centre of London. Some articles from the Swami Vivekananda Birth Centenary Memorial Volume have also been included.
A Yankee and the Swamis
The author was a Monk of the Vedanta Society of Southern California from the early fifties. After a few years, he felt a need to go to India and experience India for himself. At the least we have a travel story that chronicles his adventures and mis-adventures, and the amazing people he met as he journeyed throughout India. At another level, the book is a memento of the spiritual power he felt in a world far removed from his own. When the book first came out many years ago, it was controversial. The author’s frank tales offended some people, but others, especially in America loved reading about the author’s experiences. John Yale’s impressions of his Indian trip were first serialized in our magazine ‘Vedanta and the West’, then later came out in book form. Eventually, the book went out of print for many years, and was only recently reprinted in India.
Vedanta and Holy Mother

These have been divided into three parts: Part I - Holy Mother - the author's writings on various aspects of Sri Sarada Devi's (the spiritual consort of Sri Ramakrishna) personality. Part II - Ideas - the author's thoughts on Religion, Religious Organisations and Spiritual Life, and Part III - Disciplines - Various means for the practice of religion and spirituality.
A Spiritual Bloomsbury
A Spiritual Bloomsbury is an exploration of how three English writers—Edward Carpenter, E.M. Forster, and Christopher Isherwood—sought to come to terms with their homosexuality by engagement with Hinduism. Copley reveals how these writers came to terms with their inner conflicts and were led in the direction of Hinduism by friendship or the influence of gurus. Tackling the themes of the guru-disciple relationship, their quarrel with Christianity, relationships with their mothers and the problematic feminine, the tensions between sexuality and society, and the attraction of Hindu mysticism; this fascinating work seeks to reveal whether Hinduism offered the answers and fulfillment these writers ultimately sought. Also included is a diary narrating Copley's quest to track down Carpenter's and Isherwood's Vendantism and Forster's Krishna cult on a journey to India.
