This book is a collection of stories in English used by Swami Rama Tirtha to illustrate the highest teaching of Vedanta.
The most complex and intricate problems of philosophy and abstract truths, which may very well tax the brains of the most intellectual, are thus made not only simple and easy to understand but also brought home to us in a concrete form in such an exciting and attractive style that even a dullard or a child finds delight and pleasure in reading them and can easily apply their truths in daily life and practice.
Swami Rama Tirtha
Swami Rama Tirtha (22 October 1873 – 17 October 1906), also known as Ram Soami, was an Indian teacher of the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta. He was among the first notable teachers of Hinduism to lecture in the United States, travelling there in 1902, preceded by Swami Vivekananda in 1893 and followed by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1920. During his American tours, Swami Rama Tirtha frequently spoke on the concept of 'Practical Vedanta' and the education of Indian youth. He proposed bringing young Indians to American universities and helped establish scholarships for Indian students.
A chance meeting with Swami Vivekananda in 1897 in Lahore inspired his decision to take up the life of a sannyasi. He always referred to himself in the third person, a common spiritual practice in Hinduism to detach oneself from Ego. Paramahansa Yogananda translated many of Rama Tirtha's poems from Bengali into English and put some of them to music: one, entitled "Marching Light", appeared in Yogananda's book Cosmic Chants, as "Swami Rama Tirtha's Song."
