Stories of Vedanda Monks presents the reminiscences of the second generation monks of the Ramakrishna Order. The monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna constitute the first generation: their disciples in turn constitute the second. The second generation monks had not seen Sri Ramakrishna. Nevertheless they met many of the first generation monks who had lived with Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. Just as the direct impact of the Holy Trio on the life and character of the first generation monks is marked and distinct, so is the impact of the first generation of monks on the second. They are repositories of invaluable information about Sri Ramakrishna, his monastic disciples, and the glorious traditions of the Ramakrishna Order. The author, Swami Chetanananda, had close association with some of these monks and has put on record the information that he gathered from them.
