SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Offers a portrait of Swami Vivekananda and his relationship with his guru, the legendary Ramakrishna. This work focuses on Vivekananda's reinterpretation and formulation of diverse Indian spiritual and mystical traditions and practices as "Hinduism" and how it served to create, distort, and justify a national self-image.
