Swami Vivekananda’s writings and utterances cover varied subjects like philosophy, religion, sociology and even art, architecture and music. But in this book, only those portions that deal with the glories of our past, and analyse the cause of our degradation in the present and which inspire and prepare us for a bright future, have been chosen by the compiler, Shri. Eknath Ranade. This book is veritably a ‘Rousing Call’ to the Hindus to regenerate Hindu nation – “Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached”.
