Dear reader, this book presents a non-exhaustive collection of Swami Paramananda's writings, which includes the books of the so-called "Practical Series" (6 books), more than 30 lectures and about 30 poems selected by the editor. In them we try to offer a significant and valuable sample of his teachings which, in spite of the time elapsed, and like any work that genuinely emanates from timeless wisdom and experience, continue to illuminate, warm and inspire the heart of the student of this age.

The editor

"Onward ever forward in the march of life,—
My soul, onward, ever forward, March on!
Perchance the flame of thy life burns dim
Or flickers in the wind of this world.
Fear not its extinction.
Hold fast with all thy faith.
No power in gale or storm.
Nay, naught in heaven or earth.
Can rob thee of thine immortal flame.
It is assigned thee by Eternal Hand.
It is thine forever, at all times.
With no beginning or end.
When thy feet are tired, rest them.
If mind is weary, refresh it.
Pause awhile in the still peace of thy inmost cave;
Then rise again with renewed spirit of faith, hope and courage.
Onward, ever forward in the march of life,—
Ever onward, ever forward, my soul,
March on! March on!"
