It was in 1918 that Swami Apurvananda, the author of this title, first came to Belur Math. Shortly thereafter, he received initiation from Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi. As a member of Ramakrishna Order, he came in contact with many direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna and other participants in Sri Ramakrishna’s divine play. He also saw many of Sri Ramakrishna’s householder devotees in different places and under different circumstances. Through his reminiscences of these spiritual luminaries and through stories of Belur Math during his time, the author provides the readers insightful glimpses into the lives of those who belonged to a divine realm.
