Reminiscences of Swami Vivekananda

The power that emanated from this mysterious being (Swami Vivekananda) was so great that one all but shrank from it. It was overwhelming. It threatened to sweep everything before it…Still, those who feared to be caught in the current of this great power were but few; the others by thousands were drawn with the irresistible force, even as iron filings to a magnet. He had a power of attraction so great that those who came near him, men and women alike, even children, fell under the magic spell he cast.--Sister Christine. More than sixty recollections by men and women who met and knew Swami Vivekananda are gathered together in this very special book. There is so much material about him by so many people, that it is possible to get a very good idea of what he was like, the power he possessed, and most important, the kind of person he was.
