Description
A journey through the life of Swami Vivekananda is a study of the Indian civilization, its ethos and value system. This new biography of Swami Vivekananda portrays a true picture of the great soul.
Not only did his message of tolerance based on true knowledge, make him an exemplary spokesperson of the country but his life’s mission of creating an order of monks who dedicated their live for others, made him a prophet and a leader. His teachings continue to be relevant even today, especially in the light of the prevailing intolerance and fanaticism in the nation and the increasing turmoil in the world.
