Swami Vivekananda: Booklets

A lecture delivered at Lahore in 1897.  This is one of the most comprehensive lectures on Advaita Vedanta delivered by Swami Vivekananda in India, now brought out in this booklet form for wider circulation.

This booklet contains the full lecture 'Bhakti or Devotion', plus two short excerpts 'Love of God' and 'Religion of love' taken from notes on lectures and class talks.

A compilation of Swamiji’s sayings against fanaticism, bigotry, sectarianism and superstition.

Collection of Swami Vivekananda's talks at the Parliament of Religions at Chicago, 1893.  The collection consists of: 'Response to Welcome', 'Why we disagree', 'Paper on Hinduism',  'Religion not the crying need for India', 'Buddhism: The fulfillment of Hinduism', 'Address at the final session'.  The background story of the inspiring circumstances that made Swami Vivekananda's appearance on the platform of the Parliament of Religions in 1893 possible has also been added in this edition.

This booklet contains the single lecture 'Christ the Messenger' delivered at Los Angeles, California on January 7, 1900.

A collection of Swamiji's comments on education collected from his Complete Works.  Some of the sayings may seem to be bearing more on religion than on education.  They have been included here as it was the opinion of the Swami that a pure and religious life is the foundation of all education and culture.

Hinduism is hard to define.  In this booklet an attempt has been made to give a bird's-eye view of Hinduism with extracts from the speeches and writings of Swami Vivekananda - who may be said to be the best exponent of Hinduism in modern India.

This booklet contains the lectures: 'Hinduism - A universal religion' (a paper read at the Parliament of Religions at Chicago in 1893), 'Hinduism of the Vedas' (a lecture delivered in the West),  'Hinduism - its common bases' (a lecture delivered at Lahore in 1897), 'Hinduism - its philosophy' (a lecture delivered in the West), 'Hinduism - Its four yogas'.

This booklet presents a single lecture 'Is Vedanta the future religion?' delivered in San Francisco, California on April 8, 1900
