The Universal Symphony of Swami Vivekananda

The world has always been a place of personal and political strife. People are at war with each other and within themselves. All seek harmony, yet few grasp that it is only through inner harmony that outer harmony can be achieved.

Swami Vivekananda was a living example of this truth. In this book, Swami Ranganathananda explores the life and thought of Swami Vivekananda, especially as they were expressed in his vibrant synthesis of East and West and his international and humanitarian vision. Based on seven of his lectures, Swami Ranganathananda presents Swami Vivekananda as one who had no provincial limits to his sympathies, whose heart embraced the whole of humanity, and who had the power, intellectual as well as spiritual, to impress himself upon the thought and culture of the modern age.
