Publisher's Summary

It is an undoubted fact that the message of Vivekananda has influenced, inspired, and transformed thousands of lives. Here in this recording are given some quotations from the great spiritual leader for the benefit of those who do not have time to go through his voluminous writings and speeches, so that they may get at least a partial glimpse of the strength and sublimity of his teachings. These quotations may be helpful even to those who have studied his works, because sometimes one or two words of this great dynamic personality are sufficient to invigorate a drooping spirit, or to awaken one to a new sense of hope and courage when everything seems dark and circumstances appear insurmountable. 

Vivekananda was born Narendranath Datta in Calcutta on January 12, 1863. He was interested in spirituality from a young age. William Hastie (principal of Christian College, Calcutta, from where Narendra graduated) wrote, ""Narendra is really a genius. I have travelled far and wide but I have never come across a lad of his talents and possibilities, even in German universities, among philosophical students. He is bound to make his mark in life.” In 1881, Narendra first met Ramakrishna, who became his spiritual master. Everything changed after that. Vivekananda would go on to become one of the most profound, influential spiritual philosophers of all time. He passed away on July 4, 1902. 

Listeners should be aware that Vivekananda spoke to a wide variety of students and followers, whose religions, cultures, and national origins differed widely. His remarks are calibrated for those hearers, both in India and abroad. 

This production includes a one-hour introduction by Christopher Isherwood.

Absolute classic for spiritual knowledge

The knowledge of Swami Vivekananda does not need reviews from mere mortals. Read every chapter twice to get to the essence.
An absolute necessity in today's world...This book will ask you to contemplate, introspect and inquire life, will make you question many aspects of life and provide you with profound insights.

It is THE FORCE talking to you.

Swami Vivekananda's talk absolutely feels like a force talking to you. It's as if he is talking to me in person, my very own personal GURU. His ideas, his vision, his interpretations makes one enquire the very self, and encourages you to step into his shoes to understand it all. Gentle reader, his work needs not my recommendation. His words are like the blazing Sun, inevitable and for all.

Narration

Narrating Sanskrit words should have been by a person who knows proper Sanskrit. This would have given clear pronouncement of words as it should be. Other than this overall narration is fine.
Good book to understand teachings of Vivekananda in simple words.

Simply Enlightening & Awakening.

Thoughts of Swamji on various subject is amazingly captured. Sanskrit & Hindi pronunciation could have been better. But overall it is worth reading.

Boorish

For such a great person the narrator has spoken like a drunkard on high. No proper pronunciation, no depth.. sheer waste of time. I would buy the book and read it myself
