It deals with a rich legacy of political ideas, conceived and believed by Vivekananda in the context of social, political and economic tendencies of his time. A careful study of Vivekanandas philosophy in preparing the ground for the politics of independence and giving the country a new political ideology through his re-interpretation of Vedanta and the Hindu religion.

The present work is divided into five distinct chapters, the political, social and economic crisis, the early days of Swami, the concept of Vedanta, and the concept of his political ideas, besides preface and bibliography. Singh Publisher: K. He was considered generous and had a liberal and progressive outlook on social and religious matters. His mother Bhuvaneshwari Devi was pious and had practiced austerities and prayed to Vireshwar Shiva of Varanasi to give her a son.

This became his Mantra, and he coined the concept of daridra narayana seva-the service of God in and through poor human beings.

As the book addresses this crucial issue quite deftly, it is hoped that it would prove to be a source of great information for the reader.

Much material has been translated anew from original Bengali books. At the same time it challenges current popular and pious notions held about this humanitarian-monk. Throughout the book I could feel the inspiration and passion of Swami Vivekananda behind the message of the book.

Whatever development in science was done when the book was written, has been incorporated by the author to explain several phenomena in spirituality A huge salute to the Rishis who actually wrote the Vedas and Upanishads and formulated the practice of this Yoga. They thought so much about these phenomena well before scientific development. Generally, such spiritual realities when revealed blandly wouldn't get much convincing done, but Swami Vivekananda ran through these phenomena using a series of logical explanation, which got me hooked onto the book and that's what makes this book stand out.

The analogies given in the book makes the difficult concepts easy to understand and I would really commend the author for his effort. Usually philosophical books are not page turners, but for me, this one surely is, mostly due to my curiosity and surely this book made me want to know more about spirituality. However, I must warn you that this book is very technical and it takes several reads to decipher and absorb in these concepts, but I still have several gaps in understanding them.

Also, as Swami Vivekananda said no matter how much you read about it, it always seem as something abstract until you experience it through practice.

Overall this book is a masterpiece, and using science to logically explain the practice of Yoga and religion makes this book phenomenal. I hope this book achieves its purpose, as envisioned by Swami Vivekananda. Jan 27, Rucha rated it it was amazing. Another excellent read by Swami Vivekananda.

I also greatly appreciated and found it helpful to have Swami Vivekananda's commentary on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. This interpretation is not something that one can easily find in the modern day.
