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.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. 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
