Sister Gargi
[5] Swami Vivekananda in the West: New Discoveries, a series of biographical books, were Gargi's most prominent work.[9] Swami Vivekananda spent a number of years teaching and lecturing in the West (specially in America and England).He was a prophet who prepared us to meet the modern age, which not only needs philosophy or Vedanta to solve its many and complex problems but requires thousands of spiritually awakened people to put that philosophy into practice and make it a living force in the future history of the world.I write about him because in whatever height he had has moorings, his heart beat in tune with that of every human being who aspires upward, and he led us with a firm and unerring hand into his own realm, where, he was convinced, we all belong.In short, I have written about him because he was an authentic spiritual teacher whom each of us can benefit by knowing.In the 2004 book Shafts of Light: Selected Teachings of Swami Ashokananda for Spiritual Practice, Gargi presented Swami Ashokananda ideals and selected teachings.
