Christopher Isherwood Lecture - Who Is Ramakrishna? 3 3 1957

Christopher Isherwood became a lifelong disciple of Swami Prabhavananda in 1940. Isherwood was often asked to give lectures if the Swami was unable, but he almost always chose to read from Swami Vivekananda's lectures. But, on just a very few occasions he gave an original lecture. This is a lecture about Ramakrishna, give at the Santa Barbara Vedanta Temple on March 3rd, 1957, the year he began work on the biography Ramakrishna and His Disciples, completed in 1964. Christopher Isherwood (26 August 1904 – 4 January 1986) was an Anglo-American novelist, playwright, screenwriter, travel writer, autobiographer, and diarist. His best-known works include Goodbye to Berlin (1939), a semi-autobiographical novel which inspired the musical Cabaret, A Single Man (1964) adapted as a film by Tom Ford in 2009, and Christopher and His Kind (1976), which also became a film, a memoir which "carried him into the heart of the Gay Liberation movement." He reportedly wrote the biography/autobiography My Guru and His Disciple (1980) for the gay community to demonstrate that a religion, Vedanta, existed where sexual orientation simply wasn’t an issue.
