About the Book
Among the many biographies written on Swami Vivekananda, this book holds a distinct and respected place as a strictly historical review of his life and contributions. Authored by Dr. R. C. Majumdar, one of the most eminent and unbiased historians of twentieth-century India, the work is based on careful scrutiny of facts, critical analysis of events, and a commitment to historical truth.
Unlike most writings on Swami Vivekananda, the author deliberately avoids discussions on mysticism and philosophy. Instead, he presents Vivekananda purely as a historical figure—examining his life, activities, and national and international role within the socio-political context of his time. This approach allows readers to understand the Swami’s impact on India and the world from a clear, objective, and documentary perspective.
Published by Advaita Ashrama, the official publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, this book is an authoritative and reliable source for readers seeking a factual and scholarly understanding of Swami Vivekananda’s life.
The book is especially valuable for students of history, researchers, scholars of modern Indian history, and serious readers interested in Swami Vivekananda beyond hagiography.
