LECTURES OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

 

LECTURES OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

 
 

 

Swami VivekanandaListed chronologically. Some dates are estimated. Some lectures have been edited both under the Swami's supervision and in some instances after his death, under the auspices of the monastic order he founded.

 

Some of the lectures are extracts from newspaper reports, while some are transcripts taken verbatim by his disciples and admirers- most significantly, J.J. Goodwin, a stenographer who was hired to record and transcribe the Swami's lectures in December 1895, and soon afterward became the Swami's disciple.
