Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures From Columbo to Almora
After a residence of nearly four years in the West Swami Vivekananda returned to his own country, and landing at Colombo, delivered the lectures published in this volume, the last but one of them being the famous ora tion delivered in Calcutta, his native city. His progress through Ceylon to Southern India, through Southern India to Madras and thence to Calcutta and Almora was marked by all those signs of veneration, reverence and devoted love which Indian people are wont to show to those whom they look upon as Divine Messengers. In the brief ac count of journeys given below, no complete description of this characteristic feature has been attempted, nor of the picturesque oriental displays which everywhere greet ed the Teacher. In fact the descriptive portion has been made to serve the purpose alone of presenting each lec ture in the circumstances in which it was delivered, and not in any sense of describing a journey which was of unusual interest. All Eastern students, and still more perhaps those of England and America will welcome this book, containing as it does the latest utterances of their much loved Teacher, for the lectures exhibit to the Hindu the fervid patriotism of the Calcutta boy and to the American and the English that larger patrio tism which counts the world as its home, and all the people in it, as fellow-countrymen.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of Vedanta philosophy, a spiritual tradition originating in India and rooted in ancient Vedic texts. The author, a renowned spiritual leader, shares his insights from a series of lectures delivered upon his return to India after a successful mission spreading Vedanta principles in the West. The text explores the core tenets of Vedanta, including the nature of Brahman (the Ultimate Reality), the concept of Atman (the eternal Self), and the law of Karma. It emphasizes the universality of spiritual truths and the interconnectedness of all beings, advocating for tolerance and understanding between different faiths and religious practices. The author's teachings challenge the materialistic focus of contemporary society, urging readers to embrace the spiritual heritage of India and recognize its potential to address the spiritual void experienced in many parts of the world. He elucidates the differences between the Personal and Impersonal aspects of God, highlighting the ethical implications and transformative power of understanding one's unity with the Divine. Through clear explanations and compelling arguments, this book provides a profound exploration of Vedanta philosophy, offering readers a path to inner peace, self-realization, and a deeper understanding of the human experience.
