The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda Volume 2

A prominent Indian Hindu monk, Swami Vivekananda played a crucial role in introducing Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world, enhancing interfaith dialogue and elevating Hinduism's global status in the late 19th century. As the chief disciple of Ramakrishna, he founded the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, significantly influencing the revival of Hinduism in India and fostering a sense of nationalism during colonial times. His memorable speech at the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago marked a pivotal moment in the global recognition of Hinduism.
