Very scarce First Edition, 1896 (nd). Hardcover. 54 pages. Swami Vivekananda (January 12, 1863 – July 4, 1902) was an Indian Hindu monk, philosopher, author, religious teacher, and the chief disciple of the Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of Vedanta and Yoga to the West, and the father of modern Indian nationalism who is credited with raising interfaith awareness and bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion. His work, KARMA YOGA ('The Yoga of Action') is a book of his lectures, as transcribed by Joseph Josiah Goodwin. "Swami Vivekananda delivered a number of lectures in his rented rooms at 228 W 39th Street in New York City from December 1895 to January 1896. In 1895, friends and supporters of Swami Vivekananda hired Goodwin, a professional stenographer, who transcribed some of the lectures which were later published as this book. Goodwin later became a follower of Vivekananda."
