Lectures and Discourses, Writings: Prose, Writings: Poems, Epistles
Volume 8 of the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda — Lectures and Discourses, Writings: Prose, Writings: Poems, Epistles.
Historical Context
Volume 8 collects lectures, prose writings, poems, and the fourth series of epistles spanning the final years of Vivekananda's life (1899-1902), including material from his second visit to the West in 1899-1900. Many of these works reflect the mature thought of a teacher increasingly focused on practical service, nation-building, and the synthesis of Eastern spirituality with Western energy.
