Swami Vivekananda, whose pre-monastic name was Narendranath Dutt, was one of the most famous and influential social reformers of the 19th century. A redoubtable spiritual leader, he was an exponent of Vedanta. He was the most eminent disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahansa and the founder of Ramakrishna Math as well as Ramakrishna Mission. This book provides deep insight into the life and achievements of Swami Vivekananda. Describing his family background and early life, it presents a detailed account of how he came into contact with Sri Ramakrishna, the moulding of his life as a monk, Ramakrishna's illness and death, the building of the Math, his teachings, and his foreign tours to spread the message of peace and universal brotherhood as well as the philosophy of Vedanta, with special reference to his lecture at the World Parliament of Religions at Chicago.
