Author(s): Swami Ramdas

Swami Ramdas

THIS is the life-story of a simple but profound soul, narrated by herself in her own rare and charming manner. The reader will not fail to observe its uniqueness in that it presents clearly the mediaeval style and expression.

The special feature of this autobiography is that it is addressed entirely to her "Papa" (Ramdas), and all the persons mentioned therein are considered by her as Papa himself in those forms.

The original is the Kannada rendering of the life dictated by the Mother in plain Konkani to Srimati Ganga, one of the Ashram girls, who is proficient both in Konkani and Kannada. The English translation is done by Ramdas as inspired by the Mother.
