Remarkable!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
If you believe that truth is stranger than fiction, this is a book you will adore. One remarkable woman's story of her relationship with an extraordinary spiritual teacher, told plain--without hyperbole or self-dramatization. Toward the end of her life, Marie Louise Burke (Sister Gargi) shared excerpts from her intimate journal, recounting the trials and triumphs of her attempts to become a writer under the tutelage of the brilliant Swami Ashokananda. Both humorous and deeply moving, this book is the 'real deal'. Highest possible recommendation!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
A Disciple's Journal: In The Company Of Swami Ashokananda by Sister Gargi (Marie Louise Burke) is the compelling and true personal testimony of one woman's spiritual training during the course of two decades, at the hands of Swami Ashokananda (1893-1969), the spiritual teacher of the Ramakrishna Order and head of the Vedanta Society of Northern California. Sister Gargi's journey began in the 1950s as she learned meditation in the Hindu tradition of Vedanta, and as she pursued her spiritual quest Sister Gargi became a literary figure in the Vedanta movement. Sister Gargi's inner development, the highs and lows of the path she followed, and the rewards of patient dedication are all contained in this thoughtful and uplifting account, recommended to all dedicated students of Religion, Spirituality, and Metaphysics.
