ABOUT THE BOOK
Freedom is the real identity of man. To Swami Vivekananda, it is one of the most assured pointers to one's becoming, being and the beyond. It is the symbol of essence and excellence, ascent and poignance. As a timeless and radical visionary, Vivekananda expands the horizons of society, education, religion, spirituality, aesthetics, humanism, mysticism and values in splendid and variegated designs of freedom for serenity and perfection, catholicity and dedication.
