As with the earlier "New Findings" penned by the author, the present book is also a time-place-person-centered narrative.  The author's narration is chiefly based upon the 'Life of Swami Vivekananda' by his Eastern and Western Disciples as well as 'Swami Vivekananda in the West : New Discoveries' by Marie Louise Burke. Yet some new pieces of information have been studded by the author into the already existing biographical fabric compiled by his predecessors. The author uses his imagination to also presume the possibility of certain events connected with Swamiji having occurred, of which there is no direct evidence, yet which seems circumstantially probable. This book is different from 'Vivekananda in Europe' by Swami Vidyatmananda which was brought out by Advaita Ashrama in 2012.

Swami Vivekananda spent a number of years teaching and lecturing in the West. Some details of those pioneering years were known, many were not until rediscovered through painstaking research by the author. Her new discoveries now number six large volumes encompassing much of previously unpublished material.

Swami Vivekananda's inspiring life and experiences unfold in his own words through conversations, lectures, writings and letters. A valuable new compilation from many sources.

American edition. Includes twenty-eight photographs and an appendix containing some of the swami's most important statements on religion and philosophy.
