Publisher's summary

The Vedanta was an inseparable part of Swami Vivekananda’s personality. He lived and breathed this philosophy while preaching it to India and the West. While Vivekananda’s landmark address at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893 established him as modern India’s great spiritual leader, his popularity and appeal is attributed to his ability to integrate his human side with his profound spiritual side.

In this beautifully written biography, Chaturvedi Badrinath liberates Vivekananda from the confines of the worship room and offers an unforgettable insight into the life of a man who was the very embodiment of the Vedanta that he preached.

Worst Narrator Ever and repeats!

i could barely get through when he did voice for Ramakrishna...making him sound like a little girl! horrible. and it repeats the same sentence dozens of times over.
some interesting points ..didn't know Vivekananda's sister committee suicide...besides that interesting fact the book is just not that good. better to read the swami's words for yourself.
oh, and Vivekananda liked Tabasco sauce. there...all th important facts from the book you need to know. don't suffer the voice of female Ramakrishna in this book. I know he was a homosexual but the narrator's voice is just too bad!!
