This volume presents in a clear and concise form the tents of a religion, the scriptures of which have evolved over the course of five thousand years. Vivekananda once said, ”I have a message to the West, as Buddha had a message to the east.” And the message was Vedanta. As Christopher Isherwood says in his foreword:” It must be remembered that much of this material was first spoken to audiences – sometimes extemporaneously, without even a rough draft of what Vivekananda wished to say. In such cases, it was taken down in shorthand … Thus we experience the freshness of the Swami’s live speech. Vivekananda’s living presence often becomes powerfully evident behind his words.”
