Preface to the First Edition<br />
In the year 1988 when the country was celebrating<br />
Swami Vivekananda's 125th birth-anniversary, the<br />
<strong>Institute</strong> published a Bengali book, Sabar SwamyT, as a<br />
token <strong>of</strong> its tribute to the Swami. The book, in Bengali,<br />
is a compilation <strong>of</strong> striking episodes in Swami<br />
Vivekananda's life, with some <strong>of</strong> his invaluable utterances.<br />
The book became at once popular and has been reprinted<br />
four times since it first appeared.<br />
Now there is the demand that the book be<br />
translated into other languages. To begin with, it has<br />
been translated into English and is now being put out,<br />
entitled Swami Vivekananda : The Friend <strong>of</strong> All. We<br />
hope it will be equally popular as its Bengali counterpart<br />
has been.<br />

Publisher's Note to the Revised Edition<br />
In this revised edition, we corrected some small<br />
mistakes which took place in the previous editions. We<br />
hope the book will continue to be as popular as before.
