Review: vivekananda ,His call to the nation

Pranams to the ADVAITA ASHRAMA for bringing out an tremendous compilation of swami vivekananda's utterances in a way easy to grasp. The book "vivekananda ,His call to the nation" is popularly known as the RDX as it provides to be a source of motivation for each and every individual having a global vision. The book, comprising of112 pages have the assortment of the sayings of swamiji grouped under eight banners. The book totally consist of nine chapters. The first chapter is a breifing about the life of swamiji right from his childhood till his samadhi. The second chapter is about FAITH and STRENGTH one should have imbibed in himself. Having faith in oneself is the only source of strength to achieve things. These are brought out by quoting various references from swamiji's sayings.

Every person should have a unique goal and he should always work on it 24*7 to acheive it. This can be only done when he is able to control his mind to think in a way he wants it to, tells the second chapter POWERS OF THE MIND.

Swami vivekananda believes that man is responsible for all his actions, brutal or esteem. he quotes "man is a man so long as he is struggling to rise above nature" . So it is rightly to say MAN:THE MAKER OF HIS DESTINY.

The book also gives vivekananda's view of Education and society. The fourth chapter discusses on how knowledge exists internally and how manifestation of knowledge can grow our society. The book also talks on serving man, how we are bestowed with a wonderful religion to follow and a wonderful country to live in.

This brilliant book is worth a buy and is priced at Rs.3 which makes it far less than economial...
