Patanjali's Yoga Aphorisms in modern translation with the commentary of Swami Prabhavananda. English only. see: Patanjali Yoga Sutras.

Ramakrishna (1836-1886) was one of the most influential spiritual masters of modern India. He entered the highest mystical states as easily as other men step through a door, and described his extraordinary experiences with an innocent eloquence that brought spiritually to life for millions around the globe. How to Live with God transports us into Ramakrishna’s world with lucidity and breathtaking detail. Sitting alongside his closest disciples, we witness the master’s spiritual ecstasy, his astonishing insights, his humor, and his practical advice for common people yearning to know God.

Swami Chetanananda peels away time and space to introduce us to this god-intoxicated mystic as a living presence. How to establish a relationship with God, how to love God, and how to live with God are the themes of this book. Much of the information is translated into English for the first time.

The main body of this work is taken from notes of the swami's lectures given at the Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama, Bangalore at various periods from 1954 to 1985. They were previously published in 30 installments in the magazine Vedanta Kesari under the title,'How to Seek God' but are here rearranged under different themes. To these are added four articles based on notes of class talks given in Germany (1934-1935) and Spiritual Teachings based on 'Reminiscences of Swami Yatiswarananda' by Pravrajika Saradaprana.

Love is not an emotional sentiment but an aspect of our essential nature.

These reflections on contemplative life were delivered at Harvard University in 1998.
