The Essential Swami Ramdas (Library of Perennial Philosophy)

the long version

The writings of Swami Ramdas (l884-1963) possess the same enduring quality found in such classics of spiritual writing as The Way of a Pilgrim and The Gospel of Ramakrishna. Ramdas was one of the greatest saints of the 20th century and he wrote in a simple, eloquent style that any sincere soul—regardless of religion—can understand. Ramdas emphasizes that we can realize God through constant remembrance of the Divine. The Essential Swami Ramdas collects extracts from Ramdas’ many books and it emphasizes the heart of his message: unswerving faith in the mercy of God leads to certain deliverance; surrender to the Divine will is the supreme happiness.
