This collection comprises following three books authored by Swami Vivekananda.
- Yoga The Spiritual Path : Swami Vivekananda combines the yogas of the Bhagat Gita and patanjali’s yoga sutras, with the wisdom of India’s rich philosophical tradition in yoga: the spiritual path, a definitive guide to self-realization.
- Reflections : The grandest idea in the religion of the Vedanta is that we may reach the same goal by different paths; and these paths I have generalised into four, viz. those of work, love, psychology, and knowledge. But you must, at the same time, remember that these divisions are not very marked and quite exclusive of each other. Each blends into the other. But according to the type which prevails, we name the divisions. It is not that you can find men who have no other faculty than that of work, nor that you can find men who are no more than devoted worshippers only, nor that there are men who have no more than mere knowledge. These divisions are made in accordance with the type or the tendency that may be seen to prevail in a man. We have found that, in the end, all these four paths converge and become one. All religions and all methods of work and worship lead us to one and the same goal.
- Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras : Patanjali’s yoga sutras, a collection of 196 Sanskrit aphorisms, synthesizing knowledge from much older traditions on the theory and practice of yoga, were compiled between 500 BCE and 400 CE by the sage Patanjali in India. The most translated ancient Indian text in the medieval era, from the 12th to the 19th century, for nearly 700 years, it was relegated to oblivion. Fortunately, in the late 19th century, it was revived by Swami Vivekananda, the Theosophical society, and others. Patanjali’s yoga sutras have been translated into nearly forty Indian languages, and old Javanese and Arabic.

About Author
Swami Vivekananda was an influential Indian figure who played a key role in reviving Hinduism in modern-day India and introducing it to the rest of the world. Some of his books include Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, The East And The West, Pearls Of Wisdom, Jnana Yoga, My India, The India Eternal, Practical Vedanta, and the poem Kali The Mother. He also wrote many poems and songs. His writing was philosophical, lucid, and infused with humour. His writings adhered to his belief that language written or spoken must be simple and easy to understand. Swami Vivekananda was born Narendranath Dutta on January 12, 1863. Narendra s personality and thinking reflected his mother s religious temperament and his father s rationality. He was initially home-schooled and later attended the Metropolitan Institute of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. In 1879, he passed the entrance examination from Presidency College, Calcutta (now Kolkata). He earned a Fine Arts degree in 1881, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1884. Swami Vivekananda was interested in a variety of subjects including philosophy, religion, social sciences, arts, and literature. He was the chief disciple of saint Ramakrishna of Dakshineshwar, and established the Ramakrishna Mission and the Ramakrishna Math. He played a vital role in introducing the Indian philosophies of Yoga and Vedanta to the world. He eventually became a wandering monk and toured the Indian subcontinent, exploring and understanding its conditions. In 1893, he represented India at The Parliament of World Religions in Chicago, and gave a rousing, memorable speech. He died on July 4, 1902, while he was meditating.
