Leo Tolstoy and Sri Ramakrishna
$2.00 Add to cartLeo Tolstoy and Sri Ramakrishna
“Contacts between the minds of Tolstoy and Ramakrishna are parts of larger intercultural contacts which are by no means facile or free from problems and difficulties. They were contemporaries. Ramakrishna was about eight years younger than Tolstoy, but died about twenty-four years earlier. They never met, and the Russian writer did not hear about Ramakrishna in the latter’s lifetime. Tolstoy got to know about his Indian contemporary only by the end of his own long life and made occasional references to Sri Ramakrishna’s ideas of equal validity of different religions and religious universalism in his talks and conversations.”

Life in Indian Monasteries: Reminiscences About Monks of the Ramakrishna Order
$24.50 Add to cartLife in Indian Monasteries: Reminiscences About Monks of the Ramakrishna Order
Life in Indian Monasteries is a book of charming, inspirational anecdotes about many of the saintly monks of the Ramakrishna Order of India, founded in 1886 by Swami Vivekananda, in the name of his Guru, Sri Ramakrishna. The stories, written with an insider’s genuine understanding, reveal what Hindu monks do in their day-to-day lives, how they interact with one another, their humor, and their spiritual greatness. A holy man behaves with outsiders in one way, hiding his inner spiritual personality—his true self. This book mainly recounts anedotes about the hidden, true sides of many of the monks of the Ramakrishna Order. It covers most of the 20th century. Some of the anecdotes are the following: Brotherly Love To God-realized Souls the World is Divine Play Who Can Know a Knower of Brahman? The Importance of Not Asking for Anything Saints are not Identified with Their Bodies A Lesson in Obedience Saints do not Crave Power and Position God Answers Unselfish Prayers Wisdom Versus Ethical Behavior Sometimes it is Better to Take the Blame for Doing the Right Thing An Important Lesson for Monastics Everything Happens According to God’s Will Perfect Reliance on God’s Will Death-Defying Unsung Heroes Absence of False Ego in the Spiritually Exalted Monks Belong to the Entire World What is a True Miracle?

Living Hinduism
$12.00 Add to cartLiving Hinduism
– Highlights the scriptures, philosophy and practices living Hinduism – Encapsulates the essence of Hinduism – A product of long years of studying, learning and practicing Hinduism is neither an organized religion nor a proselytizing one. It is often described as a way of life, which gently nudges its followers – through its scriptures, mythologies, rituals, and practices to question deeply, live fully, and grow wholesomely in compassion and universal acceptance. Hinduism believes whatever inspires one to stay truly unselfish, be it a vocation, an ideology, or a faith, can lead one towards greater self-realization and ultimate freedom. Living Hinduism by Samarpan encapsulates this essence of Hinduism in a language that can be understood and appreciated by all, especially the younger generation, who need to know and understand what it means to be a Hindu, in an age of strident opinions and changing values.
