Centred in Truth (2 Vols.)

by Shelley Brown

Swami Nitya-Swarup-Ananda (1899-1992) is best known as the legendary monk of the Ramakrishna Order who founded and developed the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture in Calcutta. Centred in Truth bring the Swami's life and work into focus from many points of view--through biography and memoir, conversations and writings, reminiscences and memorial tributes. What emerges from this manifold portrait is the purity of his personality and the power of his ideals. Beautifully written and profusely illustrated, these volumes will appeal to the eyes as well as to the mind and the heart.
