other appliances and privelege is claimed today as it
never has been claimed in the history of the world.”

WHY THIS BOOK..?

 This book fascinates me because the author wanted


to aim at the Swami ji’s message of STRENGTH and
FEARLESSNESS . The author focused on strength,
building of character, Swami ji’s teachings , human
development and unity and many more gives
immense motivation and courage to cope up with life
and understand the virtue of life better way.
Favourite lines from book:

 Vivekananda’s message:
“I want you to keep your own belief; I want to make
the methodist a better methodist; the unitarian a
better unitarian. I want to teach you to live the truth,
to reveal the light within your own soul.”
CONCLUSION

 In the end we could say that swami ji had the power


of transforming one individual as well as masses
from his own inner strength and depth of spiritual
existence. His lectures and teachings gave people a
new faith, new hopes, new strengths to meet daily
life vicissitudes.
