In the Hours of Meditation
اس آڈیو بک کے بارے میں
There are hours when one forgets the world. There are hours when one approaches that region of blessedness in which the Soul is Self-contained and in the presence of the Highest. One experiences this in the sacred hours of meditation. This Audiobook, published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication centre of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, is a mirror clearly reflecting the author's inner life, his experiences in the course of meditation and its culmination, and it shows the depth of his spiritual fervour inspired by the words of his Master, Swami Vivekananda.
A must for all those who eagerly wish to learn about the dynamics of the process of meditation and its result.

The Author, Frank J. Alexander's early years were spent in the nunnery of Omaha in Nebraska, U.S.A., where he received his first education. But the cloistered atmosphere of an old world nunnery became too much for a boy of his spirits, and he made good his escape to enjoy the freedom of the wider world. he began life as a bell-boy at a hotel in an American city, and after various turns of fortune entered a newspaper office, where he showed himself as a good and impressive writer. But all along he had been seized witha great spiritual unrest, which knew no quietude till he came across, by chance, some writings of Swami Vivekananda, which opened the vista of a new world before him. The call of his Master - Swami Vivekananda was henceforth regarded by him as such - was so strong that he afterwards sailed for India to consecrate himself to the service of the Order founded by his Master.
Mr. Alexander came to the Math at Belur in 1911, and then joined the Advaita Ashrama at Mayavati, Himalayas. Here he threw himself heart and soul into work and rendered invaluable help in bringing out Life of Swami Vivekananda, by which his name will be immortalized.
Whoever came in contact with him was struck by his vigorous mind and childlike heart, and it is wonderful to see how deeply he was imbued with the Indian spirit and ideals. May this Disciple's thoughts rising 'in the hours of meditation' serve as a beacon light to thousands of kindred spirits struggling for Realization.
