The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda

Volume 1

By: Swami Vivekananda

Narrated by: Clay Lomakayu

Length: 18 hrs

Publisher's summary

What Hinduism needed, amidst the general disintegration of the modern era, was a rock where she could lie at anchor, an authoritative utterance in which she might recognize her self. And this was given to her in these words and writings of the Swami Vivekananda.

What Hinduism had needed was the organizing and consolidating of its own idea. What the world had needed was a faith that had no fear of truth. Both these are found here. Nor could any greater proof have been given of the eternal vigour of the Sanâtana Dharma, of the fact that India is as great in the present as ever in the past, than this rise of the individual who, at the critical moment, gathers up and voices the communal consciousness.

18 hours of blissfulness

Being from the East, and in my late thirties now, I have been drawn to the eastern philosophy like never before. In a lot of ways, this book has significantly changed my way of thinking, from life, struggles, work, family, friends, and mortality. I am now a better person for it. This book is 18 hours long, longer than any other title I ever listened to in Audible, but I was so drawn to the narration that I raced to finish it, and plan to listen it again. I recommend this book to anyone who has an open mind and spiritual inclination. Who wants to find the meaning of life, and the purpose of living it. By all means, this book is mostly secular, and appeals to anyone with a spiritual curiosity. Thanks to Clay Lomakayu for excellent narration.

Mispronounced Sanskrit

Grateful for the opportunity to listen to the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, but it was painful to listen to the mispronunciation of Sanskrit.

I feel Graced!

Although I may not have understood the entire teachings, I feel blessed with the knowledge I am taking with me. I feel as though I was Graced and will continue with the teachings I have learned. If you are in a Spiritual quest, I highly recommend this book and I bless that you will also be Graced.

Everything could ever want to know

So the narrator pronounced many of the Indian terms incorrectly. I personally have heard these terms many times, so it wasn't too uncomfortable for me. That out the way, I give the narrator kudos for bringing this book into the audio world for busy people like myself. I will listen to this book, probably for the rest of my life. So much knowledge. So much to contemplate. Definitely one of the best credits I've spent.

A great summary of Indian Philosophy

I have always enjoyed philosophy and this one audiobook made me realize that philosophical mind cannot find the truth until we grasp and practice spiritual practices. Swami Vivekananda encourages to practice the methods, without practice the knowledge is mere information and it has no use.

Awesome..

Yoga is the theme of life .. It will change your life, your body, your mind , your soul ..

The narrator

I was already familiar with the works of Swami Vivekananda so the substance of this recording is valuable. But, I was annoyed that the narrator did NOT pronounce a lot of the words correctly.
