Awakening the Nation
Rediscover the spirit of India with Swami Vivekananda
A Discovery Book by Srinivas Venkatram

About the Book
If you value Indic civilization, the call of Viksit Bharat, or seek the essence of our scriptures, then this book is for you.
Based on Swami Vivekananda's “Lectures from Colombo to Almora”, this book presents his powerful prescription for nation-building, rooted in India’s civilizational heritage and inspired by the energy-giving ideas of the Upanishads.
Curated by Srinivas, recipient of an honorary D. Litt from Vivekananda University (RKMVERI), this book is a call to rediscover what truly makes India great — and how each of us can contribute to its unfolding transformation.
Designed in a discovery-based format, the book enables you to engage with profound ideas in a clear, accessible way — through short, easy-to-read units, infographics, and visuals that bring the content alive.
Through this book you will encounter Swami Vivekananda — perhaps the most authentic voice on India’s civilizational vision.
The book was released by Revered Swami Gautamananda (President, Ramakrishna Math & Ramakrishna Mission).
