Be One With God: A guiding light to mankind

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
"I would recommend this book to every new student of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda. Swamiji's message is always inspiring for all-round progress of human beings everywhere."
Swami Gautamananda
Vice President, Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission
“Sri Naveena C K has done the most admirable service in compiling Swami Vivekananda’s inspiring words of wisdom as a guiding light to mankind. This book, as a beacon, sheds light on all dimensions of human life and can be possessed as a great spiritual stimulant to rejuvenate our drooping spirit in steering through difficult situations of life.”
Swami Nityasthananda
Adhyaksha, Ramakrishna Math, Basavanagudi, Bengaluru
“This book is the labor of love of Naveena C K; an ardent follower and devotee of Swami Vivekananda. The author has tried to showcase Swamiji’s sterling insights on the innumerable aspects of human life. Swamiji’s quotes on these topics have been painstakingly sieved through the gamut of his writings, lectures and memoirs and distributed topic wise over twelve chapters without altering the spirit of the word. A close and devoted study of this slick and useful format of Swamiji’s ideas by the time-strapped youth of today will elevate their sensibilities to a new level and enrich their lives.”
Pravrajika Divyanandaprana
Nun at Sri Sarada Math, Delhi and Editor, Samvit
“One lifetime is not enough to unpack and understand the life and message of Swami Vivekananda. Naveena C.K. has made it his life’s mission to do so and this book is one visible attempt of the same. He has captured and organised the thoughts of Swamiji and woven them seamlessly into thematic chapters which makes it both easy to read and easy to understand. Reading a quote a day will serve to remind us that there is no greater purpose in life than being one with God. This book is an essential read for everyone who embarks on the inner journey.”
Dr R Balasubramaniam
Founder & President
Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement, Mysuru

“Naveena C.K has spent a lot of effort in carefully selecting and compiling great insights from Swami Vivekananda’s vast corpus of work. This work should be helpful to everyone by bringing them in touch with one of the greatest Messengers of Light that humankind has seen - Swami Vivekananda.”

"It may be that I shall find it good to get outside of my body — to cast it off like a disused garment. But I shall not cease to work! I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall know that it is one with God. " said Swami Vivekananda during the closing days of his life. The mission of his life was to lead mankind up to God. Deriving inspiration from this saying of his we have compiled 1863 sayings of Swami Vivekananda and have organized them into 12 chapters. These sayings of Swami Vivekananda can be a definite guide to each individual in his or her journey towards perfection. In addition, select poetry of Swami Vivekananda is also included.
The 12 chapters in the book are as follows.
