Personal encounters with spiritual mavericks, remarkable seekers, and the world's great religious leaders

India traces its roots to sages, rishis and seers of truth. It is with the intention of passing on this legacy that this book has been written.

Sarah Fox and the women disciples of Swami Vivekananda played a large role in Swami Vivekananda's success in America. In this book, we learn many stories about Sarah Fox's time in America and India, and her association with the disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. Sarah would go on to help later disciples, including Swami Ashokananda, head of the Vedanta Society of Northern California.

Ultimately, the book is about the early history of Vedanta in America. It's inspiring to read and full of pictures from that era.

"Sarah Fox - a life transformed by Swami Vivekananda. An inspiring, illuminating and absorbing account of the journey of a disciple, a master, and a movement. It's about how Vedanta took root in America through the life of Sarah, an eager seeker who became a saint." - Swami Sarvapriyananda.

"Exhaustive and engaging -- the volume beautifully portrays the life of Sarah Fox and the early years of the Vedanta Movement in the bay area, California." - Pravrajika Divyanandaprana.

In this monograph, an attempt has been made to reveal the beauty and the sublime mystery surrounding Krishna, 'the greatest of incarnations', as Swami Vivekananda has declared.
