ABOUT THE BOOK

Sometimes at a royal banquet served on a golden plate, sometimes
sharing a poor man’s hunger in a tiny hut, and sometimes
experiencing the meagre fare of a sanyasi on a pilgrimage through a
lonely forest – the last two decades of Swami Vivekananda’s years
tell an amazing story of phenomenal life-struggle.

 Over the last 150 years, a lot of research on Swamiji’s culinary interests
has been going on, in several countries. This includes hitherto unknown
stories of Swamiji spreading the art of making biryani, pulao and khichuri
along with his propagation of the Vedas, in the United States of America.
Although today’s social-philosophers wonder greatly at this worldrenounced
monk’s immense enthusiasm for teaching Indian cooking, yet
it is not quite clear why no complete book about our culinary-expert
‘Maharaj’ Vivekananda has ever been published in any language.

Swami Vivekananda: Fasting and Feasting, is the humble illumination of a
thousand-faceted diamond by Shankar
