Swami Turiyananda was a devoted student of Sri Ramakrishna and a great monastic teacher in his own right. This collection of his letters to fellow monks, scholars, lay disciples, and other spiritual seekers - many of them translated into English for the first time - reflects the simplicity of his life and the depth of his understanding. He clearly and compassionately elucidates the traditional yogic teachings. In his letters to monastic and lay students in India and America, Swami Turiyananda encourages with down-to-earth, practical advice on spiritual life. He explains the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna and throws new light on the traditional scriptures, especially the Bhagavad Gita. Vivekananda told his San Francisco students, "I have lectured to you on Vedanta; in Turiyananda you will see Vedanta personified. He lives it every moment of his life....he will help you all to live a pure and holy life."
