Swami Vivekananda in the West: New Discoveries is a series of biographical books on Swami Vivekananda written by Marie Louise Burke, who is popularly known as Sister Gargi. There are six volumes in the series.[1] This series of books was first published in two volumes in 1957. In 1983–87, these series was republished in six volumes.[2] The book is high acclaimed not just in India, but also in the Vedanta circles around the world.[3]
Swami Vivekananda spent a number of years (from 1893) teaching and lecturing in the West (specially in America and England). Sister Gargi researched for many years and then published her findings in these works.[4] These books present previously unknown facts regarding Swami Vivekananda's life and works in America from 1893 to 1896 and, during his second visit, from 1899 to 1900.[5]
The six volumes provide an exhaustive account of the time Swami Vivekananda spent in the west, especially in America and Europe.[6]
