It is God’s power and wisdom that is passed on from one generation to the next through the unbroken link of Guru-Disciple lineage. I have often been asked to share my memories of my Guru, Swami Vireswaranandaji Maharaj (1892-1985), who was a disciple of Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi.
Thoughts and insights that emerge from the discussions, study, reflection, and practice of Vedanta in the spiritual community of the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society in Boston, USA, which is a branch of the Ramakrishna Order.
