Vivekananda, Swami / Parachin, Victor M
Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) was a pioneering figure in introducing yoga and the wisdom of Hinduism to the West. A learned scholar and wandering monk, his message included an openness to other religions, the quest for God-consciousness within one's own soul, and the relation between spirituality and social concern.
