Swami Ramdas (1884-1863) is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest saints of the 20th century. THE ESSENTIAL SWAMI RAMDAS is a distillation of his writings which taken as a whole have been compared to such classics as The Way of the Pilgrim and The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. In simple and eloquent language Ramdas writes directly from the heart and his message of certain deliverance through unswerving remembrance of God is meant for serious seekers of all religions. Overflowing from a fountain of pure love the words of Swami Ramdas reflect the supreme bliss of God-realisation and blaze a trail from the human to the Divine. This commemorative edition includes: * Extensive selections from Swami Ramdas collected writings * An 8 page selection of rare sepia photographs * An introduction to the life of Swami Ramdas by Susunaga Weeraperuma * Samples of Swami Ramdas handwriting * A detailed Bibliography and a comprehensive Glossary of Indian terms In same series: ESSENTIAL COOMARASWAMY 0941532461 16.99 ESSENTIAL TITUS BURCKHARDT 0941532364 16.99 Of related interest: SELECTIONS FROM THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA 1893361462 12.99
