What is it about Swami Vivekananda that makes him a great spiritual teacher? The obvious answer would be his spiritual realizations. But other great saints, too, have had such spiritual experiences and yet have not become world famous or made the kind of impact that the Swami did. The answer to this question comes from his Master, Sri Ramakrishna. The Swami was born with a divine mission. What that mission was, how the Swami fulfilled it, how he lived his life � these are some of the subjects dealt with in the thirty-nine illuminating articles of this volume. A highly valuable anthology for all the lovers of the great Swami.
If a person who lives in God becomes miserable, what is the use of living in God? What is the use of such a God? Throw such a God overboard into the Pacific Ocean. We do not want such a God!
-Swami Vivekananda
