Right from my childhood I had an opportunity to read different books of different religious groups of the world. I had read the Holy Bible, the complete works of Swami Vivekananda, In the Woods of God Realization of Swami Ram Tirth, the Satyarth Prakash of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, and even gave a birds view on the Holy Koran, the different Puranas and the Vedanta philosophy of the Vedas.

Not Just because I am a Hindu by birth, but because of the deep insight its philosophy has in wisdom. My mind got answers to most of my questions related to life and even beyond.

I am glad to know that a child born in Santiago, the capital of Chile where only Spanish was spoken, studied the different thoughts and came to the conclusion that the Vedic Philosophy is the

Philosophy is the unsuppressed and so had engaged his life to preach and propagate the Vedic Hindu thought- the  Sanatana Dharma as a religion in the western world.

To fulfill his aim he took sannyas (the life of a Hindu monk) from Swami Jyotirmayananda and became Sri Ramakrishnananda Swami, Since then he is doing an appreciable work for promoting the Hindu philosophy, religion, art and culture.

I wish him and his mission all success.

It is nice to see the way that Swami Ramakrishnanandaji is teaching yoga and meditation in the West. There are many institutes and studios teaching yoga but there are not very many places where these beautiful arts are taught by spiritual people who have a base in the Indian Spiritual tradition.

I am always very glad to see the way that people of Western origin become so deeply touched and transformed by Indian spirituality and then take what they have learned to teach others. It seems that Swami Ramakrishnanandaji is doing exactly that. He first was deeply touched by his Guru and by the yoga and meditation he learned. Now he is sharing and spreading that with so many Westerners. I hope that he will be able to bring that great wisdom and bliss to his followers and students.

Gurudev: The more places where yoga and meditation can be taught in a pure, pious and sincere way, the better the world will be.

With love and blessings.

In the service of God and humanity,

I have read the book Yoga- Union with reality. It makes a very interesting study. The ancient teachings brought out are very practical. Every seeker of Truth should have it. Different systems of yoga are explained with clarity. The author has also gone in depth to bring inner reflections with a poetical touch.

I recommend this book to every seeker of Yoga to read it and apply its time tested teachings in his or her life.

The book "Yoga-Union with Reality" by Swami Ramakrishnananda is very good Comprehensive work of different yogas of the Indian philosophy. The author has explained the different yogas, giving examples from many Indian scriptures-Vedas, Srimad Bhagavadgita, Patanjali Yoga Sutras and so many others. This book is very Useful for Spiritual Aspirants.

I came to know the Yoga Vedanta Mission of Swami Ramkrishnananda through his book Yoga- Union with Reality. It is a great pleasure to know that Swamiji is spreading all the modes (lines) of the Vedic Sanatan Parampara with extreme devotion in the Western world and working to provide the light of Yoga-Vedanta to those people who are sunk in the darkness of materialism. May God accomplish all his work. my best wishes to him.

I have read the book ‘Yoga — Union with Reality’ with a great pleasure. This Holy book describes the different traditions of Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jñana Yoga, Tantra Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Mantra Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Nada Yoga, and Purna Yoga, all in a way that can benefit every person of any culture.

In his writings Swami Ramakrishnananda is reviving the Sanatana-Dharma, the Hindu religion and Sanskriti.

He gives new life to these ancient principles that are the only means for the welfare of society at large, and to any individual as well. Therefore, this holy book should be distributed all over the world, and in all languages.

We should all be very grateful to Swami Ramakrishnanandaji for his great efforts in presenting the Sanatana Dharma. 

May god bless him, his mission and his disciples for doing such a great service for society.
