Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, this is Volume 4 of the nine volume series constituting 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda'. In these volumes we have not only a gospel to the world at large, but also, to its own children, the Charter of the Hindu faith. For the first time in history, Hinduism itself forms here the subject of generalization of a Hindu mind of the highest order. What Hinduism had needed was the organizing and consolidating of its own idea, a rock where she could lie at anchor, and an authoritative utterance in which she might recognise herself. What the world had needed was a faith that had no fear of truth. Both are found in the words and writings of Swami Vivekananda. It is the latest gospel of a modern Prophet of religion and spirituality to the mankind.

Swami Vivekananda was a great admirer of Jesus Christ. We find his heartfelt adoration for this Messiah spread throughout his Works. This booklet published by Advaita Ashrama, a Publication House of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, contains a lecture delivered by him on Christ at Los Angeles in 1900.

In the realm of spiritual exploration, Swami Vivekananda's profound insights into Bhakti-Yoga unveiled the celestial dance of devotion, revealing a path paved with love, surrender, and unbreakable bonds with the Divine. Through his eloquent addresses, he unraveled the essence of this ancient practice, igniting hearts with a fervor that transcended the boundaries of time. With the grace of a mystic poet, Swami Vivekananda painted a vibrant portrait of Bhakti-Yoga as a divine romance, a sacred union between the seeker and the Divine Beloved. He urged souls to abandon the shackles of formalities and embrace a pure, heartfelt connection, where every breath and every heartbeat became an offering of love. His words flowed like honeyed melodies, captivating listeners with tales of saints and devotees who danced with divinity, their hearts ablaze with fervent adoration. In the realm of Bhakti-Yoga, Swami Vivekananda's words become a luminous beacon, guiding seekers toward a profound and intimate communion with the Divine.

“The Powers Of The Mind” is a speech delivered at Los Angeles, California, on January 8, 1900 by Swami Vivekananda explained his thoughts on the Powers of the Mind. This book brings together that speech for followers everywhere in his exact words.

The four types of yoga are covered in length in the current book, along with its philosophy, psychology, and practise techniques. It provides a comparison of the four yogas, outlining their similarities and distinctions. By destroying the ego, karma yoga, also known as the yoga of selfless action, aims to address the issue of ignorance. We are tethered to this world by attachment because of the ego, which was born out of ignorance. The practise of bhakti yoga involves inward purification. Bhakti-central yoga's thesis is that love is the most fundamental human emotion. Love is cosmocentric and divinely inspired in its most pure form. Raja-yoga ignites the flame of awareness of the self within in order to reach the Divine.

The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most important scriptures of the Hindus. The very fact that this scripture has been commented upon by innumerable saints only highlights its great importance. This being the case, readers would find it deeply interesting to know what Swami Vivekananda had to say regarding it. In the pages of this booklet are found those wonderful ideas and authoritative statements regarding Gita by one who was aptly fit to bring out the hidden significance and essence of this great scripture.
