Swami Vivekananda Natun Tathya Natun Alo by Shankari Prasad Basu [Hardcover]

The glory of the past, the misery of the present, and the promise of a brighter future—this triadic vision of India was deeply etched in the soul and intellect of Swami Vivekananda. Throughout his brief but impactful life, he dreamed of a transformed nation and dedicated himself to realizing that dream. He called upon others to devote their lives to the service of humanity. More than just a visionary, a thinker, or a catalyst for action, he became a living symbol of these ideals—an embodiment of history itself.

Even after his passing, the waves of discourse surrounding Vivekananda have never subsided. On the contrary, scholars and seekers alike continue their efforts to explore the depths of his thoughts, ideals, and dreams. The author of this book has been engaged in Vivekananda studies for over five decades, tirelessly uncovering new dimensions of his philosophy. In the author’s own words:
"The guiding star of my youth remains steadfast in my sky, undimmed even after years of exploration and experience."

What sets this work apart is its unique approach to discovering and analyzing Vivekananda in the context of contemporary India. The book presents new insights, shedding light on previously unexplored and overlooked aspects of his life and teachings. These essays illuminate different facets of Vivekananda’s multifaceted persona, making them more vivid and comprehensible.

The author has also unearthed forgotten anecdotes and rare memories—narratives that, despite being lesser-known, are invaluable in understanding Vivekananda’s legacy. Each argument in this book is firmly rooted in historical facts, not mere subjective interpretation. Through these writings, the image of a courageous, awakened soul comes alive.

More than just an addition to the existing body of work on Vivekananda, this book serves as a significant and invaluable complement to ongoing research. It is, above all, a tribute—an offering of unwavering reverence from a devoted admirer of the great spiritual leader.
