Days in an Indian Monastery

The vision of India Devemata portrays is the country’s past. The personalities to whom she pays homage played a vital part in influencing the religious life of that land. In spite of the momentous changes that have swept over India during this century, spiritually it is the same. The secular state does not affect the inner life of the people, to whom religion is still the pivot of their existence. To see today’s India through our Sister’s eyes is to witness what the Upanishad call the Eternal among he changing. We hope that this new edition of Days in an Indian Monastery will enable the seekers of today to share the experience and inspiration of Devamata’s unique Indian sojourn. The Monastery around which cluster the large part of the memories recorded in these pages is at Mylapore, a beautiful suburb of Madras, in South India
