Swami Vivekananda: A Contemporary Reader de Makarand R. Paranjape

Swami Vivekananda: A Contemporary Reader

Editat de Makarand R. Paranjape
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 sep 2018
Swami Vivekananda (1863–1902) popularised Vedanta in the West and reformed Hinduism in India. He also inspired the mass movement that made India a modern nation. In showcasing his life and work, this Reader balances the two main aspects of his life: the religious and the secular, the spiritual and the practical, the devotional and the rational. Included here are the most significant and representative texts from every major genre and phase — selections from his speeches, essays, letters, poems, translations, conversations, and interviews — arranged for easy reading and reference. With a scholarly Introduction highlighting his contemporary relevance, separate section introductions and a detailed biographical Chronology, this volume provides a rare insight into one of India’s greatest minds.
This volume will interest scholars and students of modern Indian history, religion, literature, and philosophy as well as general readers.
