The Master as I saw Him Being Pages from the Life of the Swami Vivekanada

"The Master as I Saw Him" by Sister Nivedita, a 1910 classic, vividly chronicles intense spiritual experiences from Swami Vivekananda's life. The book assumes familiarity with Vivekananda, India's traditions, and historical customs. Written over 100 years ago, it portrays a past India marred by entrenched social prejudices like the caste system and mistreatment of women. Nivedita's humble and intelligent narrative captures gripping anecdotes, including Vivekananda's encounters with Lord Buddha, Lord Shiva's boon of death at will, divine voices, Samadhi experiences, and interactions with distressed spirits. This classic offers a unique perspective on Vivekananda's life through the eyes of a devoted disciple.
