Paperback. In A Flaming Soul, writer and scholar Chanchal Kumar Ghosh turns to the most intimate chapter of Swami Vivekanandas extraordinary lifethe final year and a half between 1900 and 1902. Set largely on the quiet banks of the Ganges at Belur Math, the narrative reveals a very different Vivekananda from the one who awakened a nation. Here, he is portrayed as ailing yet serene, withdrawn yet deeply compassionate, and all the while preparing inwardly for his final departure. Blending meticulous historical research with the sensitivity of a novelists imagination, Ghosh brings readers close to the monks daily life, capturing his conversations with brother disciples, reflections on the scriptures, and quiet acts of spiritual preparation. The book traces the formation of the Belur Math Trust, his guidance to the monastic order of the Ramakrishna Mission, his devotion to his guru, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, and his gradual withdrawal from public responsibilities. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
