Selections from the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda

Book excerpt: The published writing and speeches of Swami Vivekananda cover more than four thousand pages. Many do not have an access to all his writings and many others have not the time or patience to go through them all. Though it is a difficult task to produce a representative selection out of the Swami's varied writings and speeches, this volume is placed before the public with the hope that this will inspire the readers to study Swamiji more thoroughly.
