Swami Vivekananda in America: New Findings is the thirdwork in a series on “new information” about Swami Vivekananda. The author of this work has unearthedsome new information from various newspapers, reports, articles, and other writings that fill in some of the lacunas in Swamiji’'s life left vacant in the other two works. Here we find more information regarding the setting in which Swamiji had to work in America, the forces that opposed him and those that stood behind him, as also some places that were sanctified by the touch of his feet. Admirers of Swamiji will be delighted at the large number of photographs in color in this work, as they will appreciate the exhaustive references and the detailed index it contains.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
