The life and teachings of Swami Brahmananda, who was known as the spiritual son of Ramakrishna. He possessed what Vivekananda called a treasure-house of spirituality. Follow some spiritual discipline for at least three years, and then, if you find you have made no tangible progress, you may come back and slap my face! With these startling words, Swami Brahmananda urges us to seriously practice spiritual living. Not because we have to, but because if you want peace of mind, that is the only way to do it. You can be a source of joy to others, if you will only try. The swami's words come from many years associating with Sri Ramakrishna, the great saint of India, with whom he was like a son. We find here a treasure house of direction and inspiration that help connect us with our inner divinity.
