The East and the West

$3.00

Underlying the many observations that Swami Vivekananda makes in this book is the message: Every nation is the expression of an idea. “This idea is working for the world and is necessary for its preservation.” “Every nation has a national purpose of its own.” East and West have much to learn from each other, but each is to be true to its own genius and vocation. Remaining of the East, Swami Vivekananda drank of what was good in the West. He gave himself to the world, and his teaching is for the world.

    Education

    Vivekananda offers an approach that is the ideal way to educate our children….Quotes from the book…We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet….The old religion said that he was an atheist who did not believe in God. The new religion says that he is the atheist who does not believe in himself.. But it is not selfish faith. It means faith in all because you are all….Infinite strength is religion. Strength is goodness, weakness is sin….it is weakness that is the source of all selfishness….Physical weakness is the cause of at least one third of our miseries.

    Glimpses of Swami Vivekananda’s Heroic Struggle

    In Bhagavata, Bhishma observed about the Pandavas ‘How strange that danger should stalk the fortunes of a family that has the son of Dharma as its head, that has got the protection of Bhima and Arjuna, and above all Sri Krishna as their ally! None can know the will of that Supreme Being.’This book echoes similar sentiments about Swami Vivekananda highlighting the problems, criticisms, and other hardships that he faced during his life to fulfill his mission. It also elaborates how he handled such adversities with strength and courage. We will be enriched by Swami Vivekananda’s experience illustrated here and could also follow them when faced with similar situations in our life.

    Bhakti-Yoga: The Yoga of Love and Devotion

    Bhakti Yoga is a real genuine search after the Lord, a search beginning, continuing, and ending in Love. One single moment of the madness of extreme love to God brings us eternal freedom. When a man gets it, he loves all, hates none; he becomes satisfied forever. Swami Vivekananda

    Bold Message for World Peace

    “…Do I wish that the Christian would become Hindu? God forbid. Do I wish that the Hindu/Buddhist would become Christian? God forbid…The Christian is not to become a Hindu or Buddhist, nor a Hindu or Buddhist to become a Christian. But each must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet preserve his individuality and grow according to his own law of growth…”
