Swami Vivekananda is a name that inspires millions around the world even now—more than 150 years after his birth and encourages them to sacrifice everything for the sake of their country, religion and culture. This warrior saint was born to Maa Bhuvaneshwari Devi on January 12, 1863.
Swami Vivekananda was barely 39 when he died, but because of his work, he lives on in everyone’s memory in the whole world for his undefeatable efforts to revive the Hindu religion. He gave the world a global perspective to Vedanta which is relevant today and needed more than ever. This book is an effort to present the life and works of this great personality in the form of a questionnaire. It is impossible to include everything related to a person of such immeasurable calibre in a collection of 1,000 questions, hence only the important aspects have been selected.
This book is a treasure of information on the life of a great soul who symbolized Indian pride, strength, competence, knowledge and diversity.
A real tribute to the great son of India—Swami Vivekananda.
