"Swami Rama Tirtha was one of the greatest souls, not only of India,

but of the whole world. I adore his ideals."

M. K. Gandhi

Swami Rama Tirtha was among the great-souled ones, not only of this
land, but of the world. This great saint gave to us the philosophy of the Vedanta
in a practical form and preached the simple doctrines of international brotherhood
and universal love.

He led a clean and simple life which is particularly inspiring for students.
The brilliance of his life and work have become an important part of our cultural
heritage.

The teachings of Swami Rama Tirtha stand true^ at all placfes, for all
people, at all times. If these are widely spread, they will contribute greatly
towards universal love, peace and happiness. By translating his ideas into
practice, we can surely build a new nation.

Here we have made an earnest effort to present the life of Swami Rama
Tirtha in a manner which will give a new direction to our lives and make them
more purposeful. It will, we hope, produce love and respect for Indian culture,
and enable us to achieve our goals in life.
