Vivekananda left a body of philosophical works (see Vivekananda's complete works). His books (compiled from lectures given around the world) on the four Yogas (Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Jnana Yoga) are very influential and still seen as fundamental texts for anyone interested in the Hindu practice of Yoga. His letters are of great literary and spiritual value. He was also considered a very good singer and a poet.By the time of his death, He had composed many songs including his favorite Kali the Mother. He used humor for his teachings and was also an excellent cook. His language is very free flowing. His own Bengali writings stand testimony to the fact that he believed that words - spoken or written - should be for making things easier to understand rather than show off the speaker or writer's knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda [ স্বামী বিবেকানন্দ ] (1863 – 1902), born Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk, philosopher, author, religious teacher, and the chief disciple of the Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, and bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion.

A book that has stayed with me and has managed to keep me sane during these troubled times!
This is the 6th volume of the 9 volumes of The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. And contrary to popular opinion, The Vivekananda Reader cannot be a replacement for The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
This volume, in particular, contains Swamiji's lectures, some of his class talks, his prose and poems, epistles (that give you an insight into his religious and moral points of view) and stories of his greatness that have been excerpted from one of his disciples' diary. The letters in this volume are from his days in the States and England.
