Summary
What Hinduism needed, amidst the general disintegration of the modern era, was a rock where she could lie at anchor, an authoritative utterance in which she might recognize her self. And this was given to her in these words and writings of the Swami Vivekananda.
What Hinduism had needed was the organizing and consolidating of its own idea. What the world had needed was a faith that had no fear of truth. Both these are found here. Nor could any greater proof have been given of the eternal vigour of the Sanâtana Dharma, of the fact that India is as great in the present as ever in the past, than this rise of the individual who, at the critical moment, gathers up and voices the communal consciousness.

Wonderfully questioning mind, fabulous rapport
This is the most comprehensive, concise and easy to understand opus on spirituality I've listened to. You don't need to be Hindu to relate or follow along. Written in the 19th century, there is striking similarity to 'New Age' spirituality/philosophy but from the horse's mouth. His teachings are profound, the stories delightful, incisive, the metaphors running consistently and with purpose as he builds upon a great weight of wisdom that seems timeless. The narration is excellent.

Great content, narration could be better
Love the content, the narration could be an easier to listen to voice in my opinion. Its not terrible but a little harsh and strained. Again wonderful content.

insightful.
I am not a Hindu but have studies many different religions. I came across this book through a Pandit whom I visited in India in 2019.
He said I may not fully understand or even like the book but that three things are for sure. 1) I will learn something (Which I did) 2) The book would leave me wanting more (again true) and 3);I would have more questions than answers. At that point the Pandit pointed out this was volume 1 only. So, I can find out more, learn more and search for answers.
Very well narrated Long but we'll worth listening too

direct path to God
brilliant teacher teaching from the heart. Vivakanana transends time and his teaching directly pierce the heart upon hearing them. He also brings awareness and understanding of world religions to his teachings and explains how it all comes together and ultimately leads to God. many times I was struck speechless at the beauty, power, compassion, and honesty of these teachings, well worth the time!

Enlightening! I enjoyed listening to this in the gym. It made me the most spaced out melon smuggler there!

Classical Pearls of wisdom
An amazing complication of sermons and speeches- extracting the essence of the vedas and Upanishads- historic Indian text. Some repetition in content as would be expected from such a compilation, though reenforcing. The narrator’s accent and delivery is in an old american style and can be monotonous and distracting. A more modern and articulate narrator may deliver this better.
