MyHinduPage.org Review
This is a collectors item video. It focuses on Swami Vivekananda's mission in the US which was the turning point in his life and an important historical milestone for the dissemination of Vedantic philosophy the world over. Much work was done to collect picture and voice recordings of this icon of India. If you are a Swami Vivekananda fan, this video is a must have in your library, one that can be passed on for generations.
Quick Review by South Asia in Review
The life of Swami Vivekananda told through photographs, a well-prepared narrative, and personal reminiscences by those who knew the pioneer of the Vedanta mission in America. . . . Excellent on his major role at the 1893 World Parliament of Religions and the subsequent establishment of Vedanta centers across the U.S. . . . The film, or sections of it, would be very appropriate for courses on U.S.-Indian cultural interactions, Indian Civilization, or Indian religions. --- South Asia in Review
Quick Review by Hinduism Today
.......this video stays interesting with 91 classic antique photographs, the voice of Gandhi and an avalanche of facts and figures spiced heavily with five personal reminiscences from devotees who knew Vivekananda. . . . All of this tallies up to a lively reminiscence of a most influential and appealing swami. --- Hinduism Today
