God Lived with Them: Life Stories of Sixteen Monastic Disciples of Sri Ramakrishna

Biographies of the 16 monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886). Ramakrishna’s incredible aptitude for inner experience and his discovery of the mystic unity of religions are well known. Here are the stories of the finest flowers of his spiritual garden. Five of Ramakrishna’s monastic disciples lived and worked in the West for periods of up to twenty-five years. They built bridges between the ancient and modern worlds and laid the foundation of India’s largest philanthropic and monastic organization.

This is a sequel to They Lived with God by Swami Chetanananda, which preserves the life stories and testimonies of thirty-one of Ramakrishna's householder disciples.
