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.”<br><br><b>Pravrajika Divyanandaprana</b><br>Nun at Sri Sarada Math, Delhi and Editor, Samvit<br><br>“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.

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.
