At the age of five, the future Swami Vireshwarananda was blessed by Swami Vivekananda, later initiated by Sri Sarada Devi, and ultimately received Sannyasa from Swami Brahmananda.
Swami Vireswarananda went on to become the tenth President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. He held that position for nineteen years, a tenure second only to Swami Brahmananda.
This beautiful biographic essay, is enhanced by nearly 1000 pictures of the Swami and the people and places that accompanied him through his long life.
Swami Vireswarananda: A Biography & Pictures
We are happy to have this book "Swami Vireswarananda: A Biography & Pictures". It is a great addition to the devotees of Ramakrishna Math and Mission in general and in particular to the devotees initiated by Revered Swami Vireswarananda (Swami V.). We congratulate and thank the committee members in-charge of bringing out such a great book. What a treaure this book is! We get immense joy in looking looking at the pictures and reading the pages. As devotees who have seen and interacted with him, we have some photos of Swami V.. This book shows a comprehensive divine life of Swami V.. It is delightful to look at the photos taken several decades ago depicting Swami V's monastic days in various centers of the order, a group photo taken during Revered Swami Brahmananda's visit to Madras Math and many other photos with several monks of the order some of whom we have seen. This type of pictorial biography books of not only the presidents of the order but other senior monks are great additions to the Ramakrishna Math/Mission literature.
