Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Dear friends, Regarding Mr Newton's request for information on Swami Prabhavananda, I may have missed it but no one seems to have recommended an important and beautifully written biography, called " My Guru and his Disciple " , by the famous writer and Ramakrishna devotee Christopher Isherwood. Isherwood collaborated with Sw Prabhavananda in a translation of the Bhagavad Gita. He has also written very movingly about the difficulties and glories of spiritual practice for us westerner devotees of Sri Ramakrishna. Isherwood is associated with " I am a Camera " Berlin decadence etc., but he spent more than half his life in Caliifornia as a disciple of Prabhavananda and his biography of Sri Ramakrishna has helped many (including me) to get involved in this true search.
