Swami Vivekananda: Messiah of Resurgent India (Hardbound - 2003)

The book is a comprehensive account of Swami Vivekananda’s Nationalism that went a long way in proliferating national energy against the British Imperialism in India in particular and the Western Imperialism in other parts of the Globe in general. History witnessed the beginning of the great end of century-long hibernation of the Indian masses under the foreign domination.

Humanism and Universalism, the two cardinal features of Indian spiritual culture, are the bedrock upon which his nationalism is based. Hence, the book highlights his message for the promotion of international unity and integrity through religion and spiritualism to achieve the grand ideal of universal brotherhood and goodwill to ensure peaceful co-existence to avert wars.

His nationalism also seeks to project India as a stage for the whole world and fervently calls upon his compatriots to play the traditional role of a spiritual guide what India calls her spiritual mission in all ages of history.

Man-making and character-building are the two vital aspects of Swami Vivekananda’s Nationalism, the book vigorously spotlights upon, keeping in view the present scenario of the depletion of the ethical values and the erosion of the social sanctity leading to the deterioration in the quality of life of man in India and abroad.

A sincere adherence to the Nationalism of Swami Vivekananda is sure to usher in a new era of efflorent renaissance and resurgence leading the whole mankind along the path of supreme peace and progress towards the Divinity in the long run.
