than all that, he was life and light – a ray of the Spiritual Sun thatshone at Dakshineswar.Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna was the perfect embodiment of theSanatana Dharma, the Religion Eternal. Each one of His directdisciples, while giving to the world His great message of theHarmony of all Religions, embodied in himself, a part of thehighest ideal of the Master's All-sided Perfection.Sri Swami Nirmalanandaji embodied the ideal of purity, and henaturally represented the strength and fearlessness resulting'from that purity. The Gospel of Strength is what the world ingeneral, and India in particular, needs most at this presentepoch. "His Life and Teachings" have therefore a special valuenow, and the publishers feel confident that the readers will getthe needed inspiration from the soul-stirring example and the lifegivingwords of this Spiritual Hero.We are fully conscious that the tribute is not worthy of hisgreatness. It is incomplete and defective in many respects. Thepresent world-situation has affected our labours to a very largeextent. We could not collect all the materials which in normaltimes we could have easily got. We could not visit the manyimportant places connected with the life. We have also had toeconomise in space and time and energy. Due to variousinconveniences certain printing mistakes have also taken placefor which we have added an errata. It is with grear diffidence,therefore, that impelled by a sense of duty, we place this beforethe public.The reader may note that the account of the Swamiji's work incertain places in Kerala is given in greater details than that inother places. The Swami was always intensely active whereverhe was. A narration of all his activities will require sevrealvolumes. The account given here will give the reader a glimpseof the Swamiji's unremitting work in other places also.Soon alter the Swami's Mahasamadhi, his disciples anddevotees resolved, in perpetuation of his memory, to build a
temple to instal his sacred relics and to offer him daily worship.A committee consisting of the following was formed to collectfunds and carry on the work.Swami Sukhananda............................PresidentH.
