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 />

mistakes which took place in the previous editions. We<br />

hope the book will continue to be as popular as before.
