Remembering Sri Sarada Devi's Disciple
Swami Aseshananda was the last living disciple of Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother. Once he came to America, he never returned to India. For over 50 years he served the devotees. There are many stories to be told about this most unusual swami. In his old age,He insisted on cutting the lawn, He would personally serve prasad (offered food) to visitors. Even today, people smile when they remember him.
This book is inspiring and lot of fun to read, even if you aren't the swami's disciple. Note that a CD accompanies the book with video, writings, a TV interview and other extras. The book was out of print, and out of nowhere came a large heavy box of this book, so we have ample stock for now.
