The Quest for Meaning is the digital publication of a pioneering study of Svāmī Vivekānanda’s spiritual journey, carefully looking at his evolution as a Brāhmo Samaji, a skeptic, a follower of Hindu gurus and teachers, and finally the hero of the World’s Parliament of Religions in 1893. Modern scholarship on Svāmī Vivekānanda has used this 1974 study as a foundation to open new understanding about the Hindu Renaissance and its leading exponent.
