Author: Atulananda, Swami (=Cornelis Johannes Heijblom)
Title: WITH THE SWAMIS IN AMERICA AND INDIA.
Description: Calcutta, Advaita Ashrama, 1988. 1st edition 338 pp. Pb. The book consists of three parts. The first part is an autobiography of the author, the second part is what was the original edition of the book, and the third part is a collection of the swami's letters written from both America and India that are regarded as an historical treasure for the many stories of the old days with the disciples of Ramakrishna and his person observations as a westerner in India struggling to gap the cultural divide. It was not easy as a Christian-raised Westerner to embrace Eastern monastic life. Swami Atulananda lived in Vedanta monasteries in Indian and America and therefore had many insights into how Westerners can assimilate Eastern philosophy without losing their Western heritage. Cover shows edgewear and corners bumped. Stain last page. Otherwise good copy.
