Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram!

This book, as all of Swami Ramdas' writings, is inspiring, uplifting, and thought-provoking. It is a great collection of short and accessible meditations and stories that can take the mind deeper and higher.

Very illuminating and inspiring book.

This book illustrates the power of repeating the name of God with devotion. Swami Ramdas took this path to God and found Him in all His glory. The book will be a tremendous inspiration to all those seeking immortality! Swami Ramdas's method is so direct and simple. The book is composed of two to four page excerpts from the writings of Swami Ramdas. There are excerpts with titles such as "Grace is sure to descend","Grace of a Saint", "The heart is really a temple of God", "Love is the expression of God", "Man is an Embodied Divinity", and "Pain and sorrow purify your heart" among many others. It is a very good book to have in your library for inspiration and guidance. A definite YES!

A spiritual treatise filled with spiritual life lessons

Now in a commemorative edition including an 8-page section of rare sepia photographs, a new foreward by Professor Rebecca Manring, samples of Swami Ramdas' handwritings, an introduction to the life of Swami Ramdas by Susunaga Weeraperuma, and more, The Essential Swami Ramdas is an anthology of wisdom from revered Hindu saint Swami Ramdas (1884-1963). His message of deliverance through faithful rememberance of God permeates his writing, from his assessment that "work is worship when it is done selflessly" to "immortality is the birth-right of mankind". Each brief passage, skillfully selected and compiled into this digest by Susunaga Weeraperuma, contributes its own insight into a collective understanding of the power of the Divine and the inner wealth of pure love. A deeply spiritual treatise filled with spiritual life lessons that will prove valuable to readers of all faiths.
