This book incorporates some of the practical lectures on devotion delivered by Swami Vivekananda. Here he discusses the preparatory disciplines, the importance of the guru and how to choose one, the principles of ritual worship, the chosen ideal, and finally, the supreme love. This book differs from the Swami’s Bhakti Yoga lectures, not in subject matter, but in his treatment of the subject here in an intensive, yet more easily appreciable form.

This is the 2nd volume of 9 volumes that comprise the collected works of Swami Vivekananda. Much of the material was given as lectures during his visits to the West. A treasure trove of material.. This volume includes of special interest: Jnana-Yoga; Bhakti or Devotion; Work and Its Secret; and Practical Vedanta and Other Lectures. and various other articles and lectures.
This small booklet “Arise! Awake!” is produced for students, teachers, and young people in search of strength and inspiration. This select compilation from “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda” prefaced by a short life-sketch of Swamiji will act as a powerful tonic for the soul.
The life and message of Swami Vivekananda are a source of great inspiration to many in their individual as well as collective life. The present short biography is intended to meet the needs of those who have neither the time nor the opportunity to read larger works about the Swami. A versatile genius as the great Swami was, and many-sided as were his activities, it is idle to hope that a complete picture of his wonderful life could be given in such a small compass. Here an attempt is made to give only a glimpse of this great personality so that people may become interested to know more about him.
It is said in the practice of Vedanta that we have a right to work, but don’t have a right to the results of our actions. We have to work as hard as we can, give the work our best quality effort, then step back and let the results take care of themselves. Or in the practice of yoga, offer the results to God.Work purifies the soul. This concept is a bit different than many of us have been taught in the West, but the book offers an interesting approach that can save us from a lot of misery and bring us closer to God. In fact, you don’t even need to believe in God to practice this yoga.
