This pictorial biography of Vivekananda (1863-1902) is an excellent survey of his life and teachings and his encounter with many distinguished Western savants. It reveals where the Eastern and Western cultures and religions can find a common ground to live in harmony and derive benefit from each other; and finally it provides what the West needs badly today---pure spirituality devoid of bigotry, commercialism and politics. Preface by Huston Smith, introduction by Christopher Isherwood.11" x 9-1/2".
