Publisher's Note

This is an informal talk that Sri Swami Krishnanandaji Maharaj gave in 1974 on various aspects of the Guru-disciple relationship. In Swamiji's unique, penetrating and comprehensive style, he outlines the origin and development of Sannyas from earliest times until the present day, the relationship of disciples with their Gurus, and his own experience as disciple of Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj, founder of the Divine Life Society.

This precious jewel is being brought out in print for the first time on the occasion of the tenth Anniversary of Swamiji's Mahasamadhi.
