The profile of Swami Vivekananda as 'A Leader' has previously never been studied and thought about on its own, especially in the light of modern management and leadership theories. In this book published by Advaita Ashrama, a branch of Ramakrishna Math, the author, by correlating Vivekananda's words & deeds with present-day management science, establishes that Vivekananda was a "Perfect Embodiment of the Servant-Leadership Concept" and an "Extraordinary Leader-Manager" decades before these concepts gained acceptance in the Corporate world. An enriching read for present and aspiring Leaders and Managers.

Renunciation and service are the twin ideals of India. A strong character is built on the foundation of the spirit of renunciation and service.

Swami Vivekananda’s ideas on this vital subject have been carefully compiled and arranged in this book. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India.

'Just as heat is inherent in fire, so is our desire to become better.' Why are personal growth and life transformation so difficult? Does Creation wish that we fail? Of course not! The purpose behind the Universe's grand design is to make us succeed. Our own unawareness of the laws of the Universe creates the impediment. Just as physical phenomena are regulated by laws, there are spiritual principles governing the journey of life as well. Knowledge of them helps us understand why success comes so easily to some but remains a struggle for others; why some are still putting on their shoes, while others have finished the race. The beauty is that, like the physical laws of nature, the divine principles governing happiness and fulfilment in life are also eternally valid. In this book, Swami Mukundananda explains the 7 divine laws in an easily graspable manner. With knowledge of the Vedic scriptures and witty anecdotes that everyone can relate to, this book will empower you to become the best version of yourself.

Dr. T.G.K. Murthy holds a doctoral from the University of Adelaide, Australia. He served ISRO in various capacities for forty-two years before retiring as Director, Atmospheric Science Programme, ISRO HQ, Bangalore, Karnataka.The author, T.G.K. Murthy, a person of scientific pursuits and thinking, has dealt with various aspects of Swamiji’s ideas, drawing parallels from various scientific works and explores the role of intuition in scientific discoveries.It is a book worth reading by students and teachers of science.The genius of Swamiji was such that it covered several fields of activity, including modern science. This sounds strange because Swamiji was not a practicing scientist in the traditional sense, though he had made a deep study of it in his student days. The contention of the author of this book is that, even in the field of science, Swamiji had anticipated some of the later developments in the field of physics. The author has provided several examples for this from Swamiji’s life as well as from his collected works. Swamiji might not have put his intuitive ideas in the language of science, but one can easily transcribe them into scientific language. This has been very well illustrated by the author through a rephrasing of the language in a modern idiom.
