A book very dear to our hearts containing the life and teachings of a great spiritual master, one of the most important of the second generation of Gaudiya teachers.
In this book you find also a short biography of his main disciple, Rasika Murari, also known as Rasikananda. We did that because it is difficult to speak about Syamananda and not of Rasikananda, the two being so intimately related. However we have the plan to publish a much more detailed biography of Rasikananda, including the famous Rasika Mangala by Gopijanavallabha dasa .
