This booklet comprises the text of the speeches delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda, on two different occasions. Since the dawn of these two spiritual luminaries on the horizon of modern India, they have evoked a deep interest in the subject of religion and spirituality among a wide circle of people so as to include intellectuals, philosophers, scientists, politicians, statesmen and others, to mention just a few. In this light, it would be extremely interesting for all the admirers and devotees of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda to know what the well-known statesman of India had to say on them.
There is only one sin -- and that sin is weakness. When I was a boy, I read Milton's Paradise Lost. The only good man I had any respect for was Satan. The only saint is the soul who never weakens, faces everything, and determines to die game.
-Swami Vivekananda
