When I first joined the monastery of the Ramakrishna Order, I used to ask many spiritual questions of senior monks who were disciples of Holy Mother, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Brahmananda, or Swami Shivananda. On one occasion, a monastic disciple of Swami Brahmananda told me:

“Read Dharma-prasange Swami Brahmananda (Spiritual Teachings of Swami Brahmananda); then you will not have to ask spiritual questions of anybody.” Truly speaking, that book became my spiritual guide…

The two editions are identical in content. The hardback is slightly larger and the print is slightly smaller than the paperback, thus accounting for the discrepancy in the page counts..
