Swami Vivekananda was the first to infuse the spirit of revolt into the Indian mind; revolt not only against political subjugation, but against all kinds of social evils and exploitation. He was also the first to give the call to work among the asses where the real power of the nation lay. Prof Hiren Mukherjee deals with the subject 'Vivekananda and Indian Freedom' in a refreshing way by delving into history and bringing out facts often under-rated, if not altogether ignored.
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.
-Swami Vivekananda
