Celebrated Saints of Modern India

In this book, the life and teachings of three great Saints of modern India, with different social backgrounds are retold for the benefit of readers. Since his childhood Swami Paramhansa Yogananda showed evidence of his sharp intellect and future sainthood. Selected chapters from his ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ are included in the book. The life story of Swami Ramakrishna has been taken from the booklets published on the life of the saint by the Advaita Ashram, Kolkata. While the source of the life sketch drawn about Swami Sivananda, is the ‘Autobiography of Swami Sivananda’ brought out by “The Divine Life Society”, Rishikesh. It is a maiden effort to bring out life stories of a few saints under one cover for the benefit of readers. Though brevity was the guideline while complying the work, no compromise has been made on important events of their life. We hope readers would mentally enrich themselves reading it.
