In this lecture, Swami Vivekananda discusses some of the crucial and most pertinent issues surrounding the practice of devotion in a succinct way. He brilliantly brings out the rationale of this practice, ignorance of which has been the main cause of the timeless conflict in the religious scenario of the world. This booklet by Advaita Ashrama, a Publication House of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, forcefully justifies the need of Bhakti or Devotion for every man while still in the nursery of religious life.

Many do not have an access to all his writings and many others have not the time or patience to go through them all.

Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, this is Volume 6 of the nine volume series constituting 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda'. In these volumes we have not only a gospel to the world at large, but also, to its own children, the Charter of the Hindu faith. For the first time in history, Hinduism itself forms here the subject of generalization of a Hindu mind of the highest order. What Hinduism had needed was the organizing and consolidating of its own idea, a rock where she could lie at anchor, and an authoritative utterance in which she might recognise herself. What the world had needed was a faith that had no fear of truth. Both are found in the words and writings of Swami Vivekananda. It is the latest gospel of a modern Prophet of religion and spirituality to the mankind.
