Centred in Truth
The Story of Swami Nitya-swarup-ananda
by Shelley Brown, M.D.
Be the first to rate this product!
CENTRED IN TRUTH is the first major work about Swami Nitya-swarup-ananda (1899-1992), the visionary monk of the Ramakrishna Order who created the UNESCO-acclaimed Institute of Culture in Calcutta and who spent a lifetime striving to bring the universal ideals of Vedanta into the sphere of global thought and endeavor.
The two volumes bring the swami's life and work into focus from many points of view: through biography and memoir, conversations and writings, reminiscences and memorial tributes. What comes to life in this manifold portrait is the purity of his personality (with its irrepressibly witty side) and the power of his ideals. Centred in Truth is a modern classic in the Vedanta literature- an indispensable resource for everyone interested in the Ramakrishna Movement, the Ramakrishna Order, and Vedanta philosophy. It was nominated for the 2003 Grawemeyer Award in Religion.
