Swami Abhedananda’s name is familiar to all who are in touch with the New Religious movement in India and in lands beyond the seas where he spent the best portion of his life in preaching and teaching the philosophy and religion of the Vedanta. In America, he was widely known as a great scholar, a popular preacher, an accredited teacher of the Vedanta and an author of international reputation. But he was in fact, the most formidable champion of Indian culture and civilisation and a true patriot whose heart was always with India.
