Memories of A Loving Soul (Swami Premananda Teachings and Reminiscences)

“Words" said William Hazlitt, "are the "W only things that last forever." Though all else perishes, a man's utterances remain. We hope this volume of the teachings and memories of Swami Premananda will help to immortalize the words of this saint. We would not, of course, pretend to interpret them-they should speak for themselves. And they do, for they proceed directly from his heart. His overwhelming faith and frank honesty shine in every sentence. He is emotional, but at the same time sturdy as an oak; he chastises, and yet the next moment words of love pour from his pen. indeed, a man of God.

"Live an exemplary life," Swami Premananda wrote again and again to his devotees. "Let your heart expand in love, embracing all. There is nothing higher than love." How well he mirrored his own teaching! He drew others to him by his extraordinary love and breadth of heart. "We looked upon Swami Premananda as the very embodiment of love," wrote one of his admirers. And, to be sure, it was this love utterly open and unselfish-which in turns at tracted the love of his devotees and bound them to him forever.
