Complete works of Swami Vivekananda

by

The complete works of Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda was the chief disciple of Ramkrishna Paramhamsa (Ramakrishna) and here you can download the entire collection of works written by him. Ramkrishna Paramhamsa’s first spiritual teacher was an ascetic woman skilled in Tantra and Vaishnava bhakti. Later an Advaita Vedanta ascetic taught him non-dual meditation, and according to Ramakrishna, he experienced nirvikalpa samadhi under his guidance. Swami Vivekananda expanded on this knowledge and he is considered a key figure in the introduction of Hindu philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the “Western” World. We have before posted the following couple of books by Swami Vivekananda, and they are in fact some of the most popular and most downloaded books here on the site:

KARMA YOGA BY SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
RAJA YOGA BY SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
BHAKTI YOGA BY SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
YOGA IN DAILY LIFE BY SWAMI SIVANANDA

From The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda:

“This world is like a dog’s curly tail, and people have been striving to straighten
it out for hundreds of years; but when they let it go, it has curled up again. How
could it be otherwise? One must first know how to work without attachment,
then one will not be a fanatic. When we know that this world is like a dog’s
curly tail and will never get straightened, we shall not become fanatics. If there
were no fanaticism in the world, it would make much more progress than it
does now. It is a mistake to think that fanaticism can make for the progress of
mankind. On the contrary, it is a retarding element creating hatred and anger,
and causing people to fight each other, and making them unsympathetic. We
think that whatever we do or possess is the best in the world, and what we do
not do or possess is of no value. So, always remember the instance of the curly
tail of the dog whenever you have a tendency to become a fanatic. You need
not worry or make yourself sleepless about the world; it will go on without
you. When you have avoided fanaticism, then alone will you work well. It is
the level-headed man, the calm man, of good judgment and cool nerves, of
great sympathy and love, who does good work and so does good to himself.
The fanatic is foolish and has no sympathy; he can never straighten the world,
nor himself become pure and perfect.”

  4. Hindus must realise evilness and fabrications of Britishers to DIVIDE & BRAEK HINDUS from their INSIDE.

    So Britishers made various FAKE SWAMIS ( like dayanand saraswati, vivekanand ) , FAKE MAHATMAS ( like Gandhi, Vivekanand,Tagore, Vinoba Bhave), FAKE INTELLECTUALS (like Jaharlal, Ambedkar, Periyar, Raja Ram mohan rai etc)

    They have made many FAKE SECTS of Hinduism like Swami Narayan,

    Hindus understand such tricks, study them deeply and know how deeply you are TRAPPED

  60. I also have a modest request to the managerial group of this page. I urge you to start a monthly newsletter which would incorporate messages of prophets who propelled humanity with the belief that the journey of humanity to divinity is very much possible in the present birth and this journey is only lifting the consciousness. From Brahma to Brahman ( supreme consciousness)

  61. I would submit my sincere gratitude to the person/group of people who have taken to themselves the extensive task of bringing swamiji’s works to a larger forum. The person is indeed spiritually cherished for higher growth as this noble outfit of lifting social consciousness delves into his rich spiritual past which he reinforces today. Please continue to contribute ur geninune spiritual intersts in many other more innovation ways as this. National icons have emerged from the messages of swamiji. So by allowing widespread flow of his messages, you are doing the greatest service to Lord himself. Shri Ramakrishna.

  83. To the accusation from some Hindus that the Swami was eating forbidden food, he retorted- if the people of India want me to keep strictly to Hindu diet, please tell them to send me a cook and money enough to keep him”
    Vivekanand – A biography by Swami Nikhilanand Saraswati Pg 129
    अरे लानत है उन हिन्दुओ पर जो अब भी ऐसे व्यक्ति को आदर्श माने | ये अमेरिकियो के रंग में रंगे नहीं तो और क्या है |
    हिन्दुओ का प्रतिबंधित भोजन गोमांस ही होता है इस में किसी को शक नहीं होना चाहिए |
    आज के कमुनिस्तो इतिहासकार ब्राहमणों को गोमांस खाने वाला लिखते है कही वो विवेकानंद से ही तो प्रेरित नहीं |
    “Orthodox Brahmans regarded with abhorrance the habit of animal food. The swami told them the habit of beef eating by Brahamans in Vedic times”.Vivekanand – A biography by Swami Nikhilanand Saraswati Pg 260
    दुःख की बात ये है के वही राष्ट्रीय स्वयं सेवक संघ वाले विवेकानंद को आदर्श बताते है और कमुनिस्तो का विरोध करते है हिन्दू विरोधी बता के जबकि कमुनिस्तो का प्रेरणा श्रोत तो यही दिख रहे है | ऐसे स्वामी ने शाश्त्रों का कितना अध्यन किया होगा इसका अनुमान तो आप स्वयं ही लगा सकते है |
    He advocated animal food for the Hindus, if they were to cope at all with the rest of the world and find a place among the great nation”.Vivekanand – A biography by Swami Nikhilanand Saraswati Pg 96
