This wonderful book gives the readers a closer view of Swami Vivekananda's personality as a monk, a teacher and leader, an artist, a mystic and philosopher, a conversationalist, a patriot-saint of modern India, and several other aspects of his many-sided genius. This over-view of the Swami's life with its in-depth study of his personality by his disciples is surely to be read by his lovers and admirers with absorbing interest and much profit.
Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails -- our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
