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.
Remembering Sri Sarada Devi’s disciple
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Insights into a guru who seems quite a bit different from my general expectations was fun. I found a lot of insights in the pages that I think will be helpful in my understanding of Asvaita and my sadana
This is an amazing book
I was initiated by Swami Prabhavananda in the 60s and after a long period of spiritual confusion in my life I finally came back to Vedanta in my old age. Reading this book brought me back to the old days and deeply moved me. I wished I could have met Swami Aseshananda then. I was deeply moved by the honest and sincere contributions of the devotees. I couldn't but the book down.
"Remebering Sri Sarad Devi's Disciple: Swami Aseshananda As We Knew Him"
I recently read "Remembering Sri Sarada Devi's Disciple: Swami Aseshananda As We Knew Him" and was profoundly moved by the reminiscences of monks and devotees. Portions of the book left me in awe of the spiritual giant that Swami Aseshananda was, some parts moving me to tears. I can highly recommend this book to all on the spiritual path.
Interesting book
I enjoyed the book.
A Profound Bookl
"Esther Warkov has rendered a signal service to the Ramakrishna Vedanta community, not only in America but worldwide, by assembling more than 60 remembrances of one of the great swamis of the swamis. . . .what it gives us is a living sense of the Swami as he touched and transformed the lives of those who came to him. In their immediacy and variety, these reminiscences provide a rounded, multi-textured portrait of the swami; in their remarkable candor and directness, they bring us a genuine, living person, not an edited, air-brushed saint . . . . His life was a remarkable blend of jnana, bhakti and karma-yoga. His public teaching was largely on Advaita Vedanta, and he encouraged aspirants inclined towards nondualism to follow that path. At the same time, his devotion to Sarada Devi, his teacher, and to Sri Ramakrishna, was intense and profoundly moving. ..
