Sri Ramakrishna: A Biography. by Nikhilananda, Swami. New York: Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Centre |
Sri Ramakrishna is not just another deity in the Hindu pantheon, but a manifestation in life and blood of the Transcendent Reality. His life and teachings provide in exhaustive material for every aspirant, at the level of spiritual evolution to attain the Highest. |
| Sri Ramakrishna- Life and Teachings. by Tapasyananda, Swami. Madras, India | "The story of Ramakrishna Paramahansa's life is a story of religion in practice. His life enables us to see God face to face. No one can read the story of his life without being convinced that God alone is real and that all else is illusion". |

Rockford, IL: Tan Books & Publishers, Inc. 1924. | "This is the classic, fascinating and almost fabulous life of St. Anthony of the Desert, the first hermit and the Father of Monasticism. This book gives an inspiring account of St. Antony's life, his miracles, his wisdom and his revelations.

| St. Francis of Assisi First and Second Life of St. Francis with selections from The Treatise on the Miracles of Blessed Francis. by Celano, Thomas of. Translated by Placid Hermann. Chicago, IL: Franciscan Herald Press. 1988. | There are many ways of coming to know St. Francis and his message to the world. But surely, the best way to come to know him is to see him through the eyes of those who knew him when he trod the roads and fields of his native Assisi. That is why it seems opportune at this time to give to the world a new translation of a biography of the saint by one who walked with him; one who was familiar with those who first followed the way he set out for them; one, therefore, who knew St. Francis and his ideals as only a contemporary and a friend could know them. |

lived a life totally dedicated to spirituality, tirelessly trying to

temporary pleasures and towards God. His rigorous training shaped the

Another devoted disciple, Paramahamsa Hariharananda, is still carrying
out today his master's mission of teaching Kriya Yoga.
