This book is a sincere attempt at examining the present situation in the country on some of the major fronts and makes us realize the gross departure of our country’s populace from the ideals Swami Vivekananda placed before us for the making of an “ideal society”. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the wake of Swami Vivekananda, the country had seen the emergence of great spiritual personalities like Mahatma Gandhi, Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi and others. All these great figures together were the country’s bulwark against the dangerous ideology of Materialism and Sensuality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is needless to state that in spite of this, the damaging ideology of materialism has gripped the nation’s soul and infused her with thorough profaneness in every sphere of life. Swami Vivekananda, as a leader of sacred nationhood, is the torch to be lighted in these dismal and dark days that see the erosion of spiritual values in our society, especially among the younger generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublisher’s Note \u003cbr\u003eAuthor’s Note \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwami Vivekananda : The Master Architect of a Glorious Institution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\tThe Supra-Secular\u003cbr\u003e2.\tMetaphysical Keynote : The First Principle \u003cbr\u003e3.\tSwami Vivekananda’s Insights into Leadership Qualities \u003cbr\u003e4.\tVivekananda’s Style of Institution-Making\u003cbr\u003e5.\tVivekananda’s Own Leadership Modelling \u003cbr\u003e6.\tTowards Classical Love and Discipline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwami Vivekananda : The Galvanizing Colossus \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7.\tSaving a Culture Nailed to the Cross \u003cbr\u003e8.\tBack to Rajarshi \u003cbr\u003e9.\tThe Thousand-Petalled Lotus\u003cbr\u003e10.\tThe Evangel of Rootedness \u003cbr\u003e11.\tCrusader against Imitation \u003cbr\u003e12.\tSlayer of Narcissism \u003cbr\u003e13.\tCharismatic Servant Leader \u003cbr\u003e14.\tProphet of Sustainability and Ethicality \u003cbr\u003e15.\tThe “Machine” Builder \u003cbr\u003e16.\tEducation of the Heart \u003cbr\u003e17.\tThree Mandates \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwami Vivekananda : Leadership Philosophy for Nationhood \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18.\tFacing the Problem\u003cbr\u003e19.\tSwami Vivekananda Begins to Galvanize \u003cbr\u003e20.\tA Riddle of Vastness \u003cbr\u003e21.\tGross National Character \u003cbr\u003e22.\tProgress and Renunciation \u003cbr\u003e23.\tBack to the National Scene \u003cbr\u003e24.\tThe Moot Point \u003cbr\u003e25.\tAtonement \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwami Vivekananda : From Bones to Corals \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e26.\tGongs of the Bell \u003cbr\u003e27.\tKarma – The Baseline \u003cbr\u003e28.\tPoetry – The Peakline \u003cbr\u003e29.\tDeath – The Skyline \u003cbr\u003e30.\tFarewell to “Quotients” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwami Vivekananda : A Pilot, A Compass, and the Stormy Sea \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e31.\tOverview of the Stormy Sea of Unethicality\u003cbr\u003e32.\tTowards Vedantic Ethics \u003cbr\u003e33.\tIntellectual or Cognitive Ethics versus Consciousness Ethics \u003cbr\u003e34.\tThe Duty of the Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwami Vivekananda : Flashes of Omniscience \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e35.\tBharatvarsha and the World \u003cbr\u003e36.\tCaste (Varna) \u003cbr\u003e37.\tCivilization, Culture\u003cbr\u003e38.\tCompetition, Progress\u003cbr\u003e39.\tConsciousness \u003cbr\u003e40.\tDeath \u003cbr\u003e41.\tEducation, Character, Purity \u003cbr\u003e42.\tEgo, Humility \u003cbr\u003e43.\tEmotions \/ Feelings Versus Intellect \/ Reason \u003cbr\u003e44.\tEthics, Morals \u003cbr\u003e45.\tGreed, Money, Commerce \u003cbr\u003e46.\tHistory, Society\u003cbr\u003e47.\tKarma, Rebirth, Ethicality \u003cbr\u003e48.\tLeading, Following Discipline \u003cbr\u003e49.\tMarriage, Mother, Woman\u003cbr\u003e50.\tPolitics\u003cbr\u003e51.\tRishis \u003cbr\u003e52.\tScience, Technology\u003cbr\u003e53.\tSelf-SELF, Grabbing-GIVING\u003cbr\u003e54.\tSlavery, Freedom, Rituals \u003cbr\u003e55.\tSpirituality, Yoga \u003cbr\u003e56.\tWithin, Without \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwami Vivekananda : Inspirer of Some Poems \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e57.\tOde to Mayavati \u003cbr\u003e58.\tSmash the Cage–and Fly \u003cbr\u003e59.\tSilence – My Virgin Mother \u003cbr\u003e60.\tOde to Gratitude \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEast, West and Swami Vivekananda \u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"S K Chakrabortty \/ Advaita Ashram \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776637448361,"sku":"32301","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/32301_49cdd8ee-111b-4bed-a1d6-13b3e3c78c13.jpg?v=1625520273"},{"product_id":"4084-the-gospel-of-sri-ramakrishna-regular-edition","title":"The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna - Regular Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Swami Nikhilananda\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Sri Ramakrishna Math\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2002\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 1063\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8171207278\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally recorded in Bengali  by M, a disciple of the Master, these are the utterances of a man of our times, described  as the consummation of two thousand years of the spiritual life of Hindus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time in the world's history the words of a prophet have been presented with almost stenographic accuracy.

God Himself is Mahamaya. It is his will that we should run about a little. Then it is great fun. God has created the world in play, as it were. This is called Mahamaya, the great illusion. Therefore one must take refuge in the divine mother, the cosmic power itself. It is she who has bound us with the shackles of illusion. The realization of God is possible only when those shackles are severed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublisher’s Note \u003cbr\u003eAuthor’s Introduction \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I – Shakti Puja : Mother Worship\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\tShakti Puja \u003cbr\u003e2.\tI God as Mother \u003cbr\u003e3.\tThe Way of the Mother \u003cbr\u003e4.\tSymbolism in Religion \u003cbr\u003e5.\tHindu Symbology\u003cbr\u003e6.\tDivine Forms : A Symbolic Interpretation\u003cbr\u003e7.\tThe Tantrik Concept of Mother Worship\u003cbr\u003e8.\tThe Worship of Mother Durga\u003cbr\u003e9.\tOn Reading the Chandi \u003cbr\u003e10.\tLessons from an Anecdote \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II – Vedanta Sadhana According to Acharyas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11.\tSpiritual Discipline and Shankara \u003cbr\u003e12.\tSpiritual Discipline and Ramanuja \u003cbr\u003e13.\tSpiritual Discipline and Madhva \u003cbr\u003e14.\tSpiritual Discipline and Nimbarka \u003cbr\u003e15.\tSpiritual Discipline and Vallabha \u003cbr\u003e16.\tSpiritual Discipline and Chaitanya\u003cbr\u003e17.\tSpiritual Discipline and Shrikantha \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III – Scriptures \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18.\tThe Gita Imperatives \u003cbr\u003e19.\tThe Idea of Tapas in the Gita\u003cbr\u003e20.\tThe Idea of Dana in the Gita \u003cbr\u003e21.\tThe Principle of Svadharma \u003cbr\u003e22.\tThe Idea of Tapas in the Upanishads \u003cbr\u003e23.\tThe Holy Scriptures \u003cbr\u003e24.\tAdhyatma Ramayana \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart IV : Teachers \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e25.\tShiva we Worship \u003cbr\u003e26.\tShri Krishna the Eternal Charioteer \u003cbr\u003e27.\tShri Krishna the Guide and Goal Divine \u003cbr\u003e28.\tShri Chaitanya the Prophet of Divine Name\u003cbr\u003e29.\tThe Gospel of Service and Saint Tukaram \u003cbr\u003e30.\tSwami Ramakrishnananda \u003cbr\u003e31.\tAcharya Shankara\u003cbr\u003e32.\tAcharya Shankara \u003cbr\u003e33.\tA Ramakrishna Symbol \u003cbr\u003e34.\tShri Ramakrishna’s Specialty\u003cbr\u003e35.\tThe Ramakrishna Mould\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Swami Swahananda \/ Advaita Ashram \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40785803575465,"sku":"32302","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/32302.jpg?v=1625528848"}],"url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/de\/collections\/vedanta.oembed","provider":"The India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
