Preface to the Nineteenth Edition

The year 2013 marked the 150th anniversary of Swami Vivekananda’s birth. On this occasion we had brought out the “150th Birth Anniversary Edition” of The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. With the intention to enhance the readability and the overall look of The Complete Works, the typesetting of the “150th Birth Anniversary Edition” was freshly done (digitally), using a new typeface and a bigger type size. This was a new development in the publication of The Complete Works since the year it was first brought out. However, in spite of the best of intentions, the aforesaid edition, unfortunately, turned out to be a defective one for various technical as well as manual reasons. We sincerely regret this mistake and the inconvenience caused to the readers thereby.

The present edition is a corrected version of the “150th Birth Anniversary Edition”. Meticulous care has been taken to see that this edition is free from mistakes to the utmost extent possible. The Index has been revised. As it has always been, we hope the readers would welcome this edition too.

This edition has been completely typeset in computers to keep up with advances in printing technology. We are sure that readers will welcome this development on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.
