25 Greatest Speeches of Swami Vivekananda (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

'Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live

on that idea...This is the way to success...'

Swami Vivekananda is well known for not just his spiritual wisdom and

reformatory ventures, but also for his ground-breaking speech to the

1893 World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago, in which he introduced

Hinduism to America and advocated for religious tolerance as well as an

end to religious extremism. Such was the effect of his iconic message, that

he was given a two-minute standing ovation after his speech ended! His

words are remembered by everyone in the modern world, for their wisdom,

kindness, inclusivity, eloquence as well as simplicity. His words continue

to teach not just India, but the entire globe, about spirituality, personal

growth, acceptance and harmony. This book contains 25 of Vivekananda's

most eloquent and illuminating speeches, such as 'Paper on Hinduism',

'Bhakti', 'Krishna', 'The Soul and God', 'The Sages of India', 'Practical Religion:

Breathing and Meditation' and several others, which have not only taught us

the true meaning of worship and life, but have also evoked in us, a desire

to explore and enhance our bodies, minds and spirits as well as our love

for God and one another.
