The present work of Madhusudana Saraswati, the Gudhartha Dipika (an Annotation Revealing the True Import of the Gita) is probably the greatest of his many literary works. Though there are many classical commentaries on the Gita, this work stands next only to Sri Shankaracharya’s commentary as regards clarity, depth, and originality. This book is a valuable addition to our publications and is highly recommended to serious readers of Indian philosophy and religion.

When Prabuddha Bharata was started in 1896, under the guidance of Swami Vivekananda, it was an immediate success. This is understandable, as Swamiji had great ability to enkindle the minds of those who worked under him. But that the journal, even after the death of its leader a few years later, continued to thrive and has recently celebrated its first century, speaks volumes for Swamiji's enduring inspiration. Throughout this past century, Prabuddha Bharata has gathered many treasures within its covers. On those pages some of the brightest minds of the century struggled with the problems of the world and placed before humanity their insights and solutions. For the readers who do not have ready access to all the volumes of Prabuddhha Bharata, this anthology has been complied of a few of the priceless gems contained in those pages.

What is it about Swami Vivekananda that makes him a great spiritual teacher? The obvious answer would be his spiritual realizations. But other great saints have had such spiritual experiences and yet have not become world famous or made the kind of impact that Swamiji did…the answer comes from Ramakrishna. Swamiji was born with a divine mission. What that mission was, how Swamiji fulfilled it, how he lived his life—these are some of the subjects of the thirty-nine articles in this volume.
