Description

Swami Adbhutananda, or Latu Maharaj, was one of the sixteen monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. Swami Vivekananda called him Sri Ramakrishna’s greatest miracle. He remarked upon Latu Maharaj’s uniqueness saying:

“Latu progressed so quickly in the spiritual realm that, considering the different circumstances of his background and ours, he is far greater than us. We were all born of high ancestry and came to the Master with an intellect refined by formal education whereas Latu was entirely illiterate. If we did not care to meditate or do other spiritual practices, we could escape such a mood by studying. But Latu had no other recourse. He had to hold on to a single idea throughout his life. Starting from a  very ordinary and low state, by keeping his mind unruffled by meditation and other spiritual practices alone, Latu became fit to receive the highest spiritual wealth. This indicates his inner potential power and the limitless grace of our Master.”

This is an English translation of ‘Sat Katha’ in Bengali by Swami Siddhananda. The translation was completed in 2012 and thereafter serialized in the monthly Prabuddha Bharata.

Swami Siddhananda was Latu Maharaj’s attendant and was fortunate to hear the spiritual instructions which flowed from him. He published a number of his talks serially in the Udbodhan magazine under the title Satkatha which later was published in book form.

5 reviews for Eternal Words – Spiritual Instructions of Swami Adbhutananda

  1. Abhijit chatterjee –

    Teachings from God’s companion

  2. Tara Chand Jangra (verified owner) –

    Wonderful book about a Lilaparshad of GOD . Every spiritual path-finder must read it and contemplate on every word of Sri Latu Maharaj.

  3. DR E PRAVEEN KUMAR –

    Believers of Sanatana Dharma tirelessly point out that, it’s the grace of the Guru which is more important for a seeker’s spiritual development than mere intellect or directionless Sadhana. In the era of Shankara, Padmapada showed us what implicit faith in the Guru is and in this era, Latu Maharaj alias Swami Adbhutananda, an unlettered disciple who had unwavering faith in his Master, Sri Ramakrishna once again demonstrated the importance of Sraddha in the current age. This book comes as a hope to all those who are tired after vain intellectual arguments and asks us to surrender completely to the Master.

  4. Abhijit Chatterjee –

    I have owned this book. Latu maharaj was the miracle of Sri Ramakrishna, our living God. We are waiting for e book edition of this book to read in mobile while travelling.

  5. Nandita Basu –

    Good book because there is so little know about Swami Adbhutananda.
