Personal letters of great men often indicate their minds, where thoughts flow freely. The letters of Swami Vivekananda reveal not only the pattern of his thoughts but also the early history of the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Movement.
This is a revised and much enlarged 4-volume edition of the Letters of Swami Vivekananda, with a massive total of 2675 pages. Originally, for many years, it was only a one volume book. Right now the books are only available as a 4-volume set. We hope that by the later part of January-February, 2026, we will have enough stock to sell individual volumes.

Letters of Swami Vivekananda
Very pleased with this purchase. The foot note given in the pages are really an excellent addition to get more insight into Swamiji’s letters. I highly recommend even if one has a previous condensed versions.
