I happen to read a book which had the collection of letters which Swami Vivekananda wrote during his days in India and abroad. There were many takings from these chronicles. It is very true that the letters a man writes depicts the actual picture than any books or biographies could ever do. This book gave me a peep into Swami's life and his lifestyle. By the way, this is not written in hysteria. To those who believe Swami Vivekananda was just another religious leader, please have a second thought would be my recommendation. For a person like me who after all these years of following his life and teachings in many aspects this book changed the way I think and now am at a stage of self-ridiculing from what I see that I once thought. I am not judging a great person like Swami but sharing my thoughts on a worldwide subject. More than a religious soul he was a reformer that India could never actually benefit from. He was not a person who advocated only religious/spiritual aspect
