Swami Vivekananda has been an eternal source of inspiration for the people of all ages, races, beliefs and belongings. His utterings are so very power-packed that they have the potential to energize a fatigued mind, shake off a lethargic body to rise in action and awaken a desolate soul seeking salvation.
A small booklet titled ‘Thoughts of Power ’ containing a compilation of his quotes that was gifted to me during my student-years by Swami Harshananda of RIMSE, Mysore, has been my cherished possession for over three decades now and it has been the go-to companion for me at times of despair when I needed confidence, courage and inspiration the most.

It is in all earnestness to pass on the inspiration I have always been bestowed upon by the immortal words of this eternal guru that I bring out this small booklet to you.
