Guru to the World: The Life and Legacy of Vivekananda 539 pages, US Hardback $39.95 Unlike our other books on Swami Vivekananda, this one was written not by a monastic, but by an historian at Oxford University, and published by Harvard University Press. It is both a biography and history of Swami Vivekananda. The author discovered Vivekananda while reading Life of Vivekananda by Roman Rolland. She was shocked to discover in her research that while Vivekananda is well-known in India, he's hardly known in the West.
The author writes well and approaches Vivekananda with respect and
admiration, but she might not exactly a devotee. It's good to read outside books for a deeper and different view of Swami Vivekananda. In the preface, she concludes,
"it has been a rare honor - and the most invigorating intellectual experience of my life - to have written a book that I hope will engage people's emotions, intellect, and political sensibilities. All I can say is that I have striven to bring some balance to our historical understanding of Global Vedanta and the extraordinary
people who engaged in a rare, difficult and sometimes confusing attempt to build bridges across cultural divides."
