About this listen

"After so much tapasya I have understood this as the highest truth: God is present in every being. There is no other God besides that. He who serves all beings serves God indeed." (Swami Vivekananda)

A journey through the life of Swami Vivekananda is a study of the Indian civilization, its ethos and value system. Not only did his message of tolerance, based on knowledge, make him an exemplary spokesperson of the country, but his life's mission of creating an order of monks who dedicated their lives for others made him a prophet and a leader. His teachings continue to be relevant even today, especially in the light of the prevailing intolerance and fanaticism in the nation, and the increasing turmoil in the world.

The narrator's pronunciation was ill informed. The least he could have done was to familiarise himself with the names of the principal characters including the subject of the biography. His delivery was reminiscent of a tortured primary school recitation. The writing, too, was uninspiring. I might have struggled with the text but I couldn't carry on listening to this narrator after 2 chapters.

Mangled pronunciation, erratic diction and hagiographic writing
