THEME/S
Q: I am thinking of reading Vivekananda. What he has said in his lectures—is it all truth, something directly inspired?
A: I cannot say that it is all truth—he had his own opinions about certain things (like everybody else) which can be questioned. But most of what he said was of great value.

Q: I wish to read books. Will you please give me some names?
A: I am not sure what books would interest you and am myself so far away from books that it is difficult to remember names. If you have not read Vivekananda's things you can read them or any books that would give you an idea of Vedanta schools and Sankhya. There is Mahendra Sircar's "Eastern Lights". It is Indian philosophy you want, I suppose.
