छत्रपति शिवाजी पर स्वामी विवेकानन्द के विचार
स्वामी विवेकानन्द को भारत से अत्यधिक प्रेम था; उनके समय में या भारतवर्ष में जन्म लिए महान् लोगों के प्रति उनके हृदय में महती श्रद्धा थी। अपने व्याख्यानों में वे उन व्यक्तियों का उल्लेख किया करते थे। महाराष्ट्र के उत्थान में महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाने वाले तथा महाराष्ट्र के हिन्दू धर्म, आध्यात्मिकता व स्वाभिमान को पुनरुज्जीवित करने वाले छत्रपति शिवाजी, उनके गुरु समर्थ रामदास स्वामी और संत तुकाराम महाराज आदि अनेक सन्त-महात्माओं के चरित्र के घटनावली का उल्लेख उन्होंने अपने भाषणों में किया था।

स्वामीजी की इतिहास में गहरी पैठ दर्शनीय है। यही लेखमाला रामकृष्ण मिशन विवेकानन्द आश्रम, रायपुर द्वारा प्रकाशित हिन्दी मासिक पत्रिका ‘विवेक-ज्योति’ में धारावाहिक रूप में प्रकाशित हुई थी। इस लेखमाला को हम पुस्तक रूप में प्रकाशित कर रहे हैं।
शिवाजी महाराज के व्यक्तित्व के विकास में उनकी माँ जीजाबाई का महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान था, इसका केवल स्वामीजी ने निर्देश किया था। शिवाजी महाराज अपनी माँ तथा गुरु की आज्ञा का पालन करना अपना महान् कर्तव्य समझते थे।

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.

With numerous incidents in the Indian history, there are certain factions which always endure to distort the facts to suit their narratives and keep the indigenous values at lowest tone and tenor. As they have seen triumph these many days in various aspects to keep the truth not accessible to the masses. Among those clubs such are the cults from the barren lands, whose religion is “Terrorism” and it is the only form of expression they have expertise.
Swami Vivekananda, in his discourse exposes these despotisms and treachery against Chatrapati Shivaji and his subjects.
These accounts as viewed by Swami lucidly builds up the grit & valor of Maharaj complementing his secular activity with his spiritual inclination, which he imbibed from his Guru Ramdas and his becoming of the 'Shivaji the Great' gives us an experience to understand profoundness of his nature.

Short overview of the views of Swami Vivekananda. Biggest issue with the book is stated by author himself. He wrote the book pure on memory of an conversation the writer had with Swamiji, so no direct notes or recordings of the meeting. The question is how reliable the information is or is it based upon other sources than Swamiji.
