Disclaimer

This stage play is an attempt to humanize and universalize Swami Vivekananda - the most influential Hindu monk of the millennium - by highlighting the struggles in his life and the essence of his Upanishadic philosophy. The playwright has made every effort to remain faithful to the chronology of events and to Vivekananda’s own words, drawing upon extensive research of hundreds of letters, several biographies, and hundreds of articles by numerous authors. Nevertheless, some degree of subjectivity may have been introduced in dramatizing certain characters and life events. Any significant deviation or alternative portrayal is purely unintentional.
