Though many biographies of Vivekananda have been published, this one focuses mainly on his childhood, with glimpses of his growth into a youngster. Swami Vivekananda's personality � with his courage, selflessness, love for his fellow beings, thirst for knowledge, and other noble qualities�cannot but be a wonderful role model for children even long after they have grown up.
Renounce and give up. What did Christ say? He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Again and again did he preach renunciation as the only way to perfection. There comes a time when the mind awakes from this long and dreary dream -- the child gives up its play and wants to go back to its mother.
-Swami Vivekananda
