Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda (8 Volume Set)
£38.00
The Complete Works Of Swami Vivekananda (Set Of 8 Volume) comprises the complete works of Swami Vivekananda, compiled from his numerous lectures from around the world. Through his writing, Swami Vivekananda sought to revive Hinduism amidst the disintegration of the modern world. He wanted to consolidate and strengthen the underlying principles of Hinduism, and immortalize its rich heritage. He believed only in the existence of truth and humanity, and binding all religions together with the common thread of love. Within his Guru, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda found the embodiment of all that was written in ancient texts, despite the former not having read a single one of them. This filled him with a feverish desire to attain supreme knowledge. In his work, he explored the the concept of Advaita (or non-dualism) as he learnt from his Guru, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. He espoused the belief that all the religions of the world are true, and serving mankind was equal to serving God. He believed that a nation s future was in the hands of its people. His writings provide foundational insight into Vedanta and Yoga disciplines of Hinduism.

The books arrived quickly.
I was shocked to see the quality of the product- the covers already look like a cheap second-hand books, and the printing paper is worse than your household toilet paper.
At the average price of almost 5£ per book one would expect better quality, at Waterstones I can get much better quality product for comparable price.
I hope the books will not start falling apart once when I start flipping the pages.
Terrible quality and will never order books from this publisher again.

If you want these books purely for their content then YES, buy it. It’s a great price for what you get. If you want these books for the aesthetic, quality or alike, then NO, don’t buy it. These books are printed cheaply (thin low quality paper, very soft and bendy, the cover is that shiny almost card but almost paper material) so that they can get this rich content out to you at a fraction of the price. Some say that this isn’t complete because the complete contains 9 books but if you do your research thoroughly, you will come to the conclusion that 9 books is unnecessary, the ninth book is basically a conclusion of all 8 books, it is transcriptions from other people on V’s work, wisdom, goal and effect on the world.

I’ll keep this brief as it’s hard to put into words how profound these works are. I think perhaps the best thing I can say that comes to mind is that when I start reading these books I almost instantly feel more relaxed, focused on my spiritual goals, and that bit wiser. It’s like the words carry a force. Plus the price (28.99 at time of purchase) is unbelievably good considering the quality of the source and volume of information.
