About the Book A VIVID COMIC PORTRAYAL OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA’S JOURNEY TO BRING INDIA’S WISDOM AND UNITY TO THE WORLD. When Swami Vivekananda brought Hindu philosophy and the concept of universal tolerance to the West, he also shaped India’s own spiritual and cultural revival. The Life of Swami Vivekananda traces the evolution of young Narendranath, a curious student in colonial India, into the dynamic monk who captured the world’s attention with his historic address at the Parliament of the World’s Religions. Drawing from his own writings and speeches, and through an examination of the events and people who shaped his life, this is a vivid portrayal of a fascinating man living in a time of great change. Well-researched and beautifully illustrated, this comic-style biography is an essential introduction to the visionary monk who stood boldly for unity, compassion, self-realisation and the timeless wisdom of India.
