About this listen

 Welcome to “Readings from Eternal Values for a Changing Society by Swami Ranganathananda.” This podcast brings you chapter-by-chapter readings and reflections from one of the most revered spiritual thinkers of modern India. Swami Ranganathananda, the 13th President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, was a visionary monk whose teachings bridged timeless Vedantic wisdom with the challenges of contemporary life. I invite you into this sacred space—where ancient truths meet modern contexts, and each of his profound words is an intentional step toward inner clarity and strength.Pritha Lal - Authenticity Life Coach, www.
