About the Author

Swami Turiyananda, a direct monastic disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, was renowned for his profound scholarship, intuitive wisdom, and remarkable simplicity and austerity. A truly practical Vedantin, he embodied his teachings. His words carried the weight of authority, spoken not from scholarly knowledge alone but from lived experience. In 1899, he traveled to America to lead classes on Vedanta. His affectionate nature, unpretentious lifestyle, and contemplative spirit deeply resonated with his Western devotees. He founded Shanti Ashrama on an expansive property in Northern California. This book, compiled from the class notes of Pravrajika Brahmaprana of the Sarada Convent, Santa Barbara, aims to reach a wider audience in the East.
