Synopsis First published in America in 1997, the book gives us a picture of one of Sri Ramakrishna's great disciples, whose colorful and profoundly influential life has heretofore been little known. The book, as seen from the excerpts given below, was well-received by reviewers: This book is a masterpiece by Sister Gargi. Besides describing his life in India, the author gives a detailed account of swami Trigunatita's pioneering work in the West in nurturing the seeds of Vedanta sown there by Swamiji. The Swami's life fills nearly two-thirds of this 434-page book. Nine appendixes form the rest of the book. The swami's visits to Tibet, his lectures on the history and philosophy of famine, doctrines of the Vedanta Society he founded, details of the Hindu Temple, some valuable spiritual instructions, a lecture on 'How to be Free' and an interview with him-these are the subjects covered in the Appendixes. This book is a must for everyone in tough with the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Movement. An Indian edition of the book can make this possible. Let us hope it comes out soon.
