Swami Vivekananda (12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), a highly reputed and revered Indian Hindu monk, was the chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. A thorough scholar in Indian scriptures, Puranas and philosophical systems, Swami Vivekananda is credited with popularizing Indian thought system in the US and the UK. His speech at the Parliament of World’s Religions in Chicago in September 1893 was so impactful that many Western minds got obsessed with his teachings. Within a short span of 39 years of life on this earth, he gave a new vision to the Indian thought and wrote around two dozens of books, including Sangeet Kalpataru; Raja Yoga; Lectures from Colombo to Almora; Bartaman Bharat; My Master; VedÀnta Philosophy; Jnana Yoga and Bhakti-Yoga.
