"Swami Chetanananda's earlier book, Th^ Lived With God, which preserves the life stories and testimonies of twenty-eight of Ramakrishna's household disciples, now has an impressive sequel in this new book, God Lived with Them, the life stories and testimonies of Ramakrishna's sixteen monastic disciples. Swami Chetanananda continues his usual critical pattern of meticulous research, careful documentation, engaging presentation and critical reflection. Devout followers of Ramakrishna and curious outsiders will find in this new book a wealth of fascinating material about the Master, as well as intriguing anecdotes about the Master's immediate monastic disciples."
Gerald James Larson, Rabindranath Tagore Professor of Indian Cultures and Civilizations; Director, India Studies Program, Indiana University Bloomington
"Western students of the history of the Ramakrishna movement have come to recognize the critical role that this important movement has played in spreading knowledge of Hinduism and the Vedanta philosphy in the West. Swami Chetanananda's new book offers revealing sketches of sixteen of Ramakrishna's monastic disciples that testify to their Master's great powers as a religious teacher."
