Six Lighted Windows
| What is it like to live in a Vedanta (Hindu) monastery in the West? What sort of teachers, abbots and companions would one find there, and how would their teachings and example profit the Western mind? What about the obvious social and cultural differences between Indians and Westerners? This book opens the reader to these and similar questions, and answers them by detailing the life and character of some of the best known swamis (monks) of the Ramakrishna Order of India. It is gripping. |
