Arise, Awake: The Swami Goes to the World
He Walked Out of India with Nothing, and Changed the Spiritual World Forever There are lives that alter the course of history quietly, and there are lives that announce themselves like a thunderclap. Swami Vivekananda's was the latter.
Read the full description
Arise, Awake: The Swami Goes to the World is a devotional account of the years in which one young monk, carrying no money, no credentials recognised by the West, and no institutional backing, stepped onto the world's stage and redrew the map of spiritual understanding between East and West. This is not biography at arm's length. It is a walking-companion for those who already love Swamiji, and a reverent introduction for those newly drawn to his words. Drawing faithfully from the Complete Works and the living testimony of the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda tradition, this account takes you from the meditation rock at Kanyakumari, where a nation's destiny crystallised in a single monk's silence, to the thunderous welcome at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago, and onward through the founding of Belur Math and the mission that continues to this day.
