This is a collection of lectures given by Swami Ramakrishnananda between 1893 and 1911. A handy pocket book, the subjects range from Mind and Maya and The Power of the Spirit to The True Self of Man and The Necessity of Religion. And, of course, woven throughout are Swami Ramakrishnananda's thoughts and teachings regarding our Search for Happiness.

Swami Vivekananda referred to Swami Ramakrishnananda as "The main pillar of our Math." A direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Ramakrishnananda (1863-1911) was sent to South India to start Ramakrishna Math in Madras.
