Swami Vivekananda and Kerala

It is not a book limited to Swamiji's contact with Kerala. It is much more comprehensive and covers a much wider canvas. It deals with the national scenario with special reference to Bengal under British rule at the time of Swamiji's advent. Narendra's evolution as a patriot saint, his transforming contact with the Great Master, his wandering across the length and breath of Bharat and the rich experiences he gained thereof are all dealt with in a clear but concise manner. Even before he entered Kerala Swamiji had learnt form reliable sources the socio-culture situation in the state. There is a thorough study of the conditions pre-vailing, detailed descriptions about some of the great personalities he personally met, faithful description about some of the good and bad experiences he had. Some of them bring out the earthy human aspect of Swamiji's life and personality.
