Omschrijving

An intimate portrait of pilgrimage, friendship and awakening. A candid companion on pilgrimage. In Notes of Some Wanderings with the Swami Vivekananda, Sister Nivedita offers a lucid, first-hand spiritual travel memoir that reads as both a Victorian era travelogue and an Indian pilgrimage narrative. Her voice is precise and observant: field notes and personal memoir sit side by side, giving the reader scenes of landscape, encounter and ritual alongside quiet reflections on belief. The book balances descriptive travel writing with gentle interpretation, opening windows onto Hindu mysticism exploration without exoticising the people and places it records. Those drawn to Swami Vivekananda's journeys will find the immediacy of travel detail: everyday scenes and ritual moments, woven with meditative passages that test ideas about faith, education and national identity. As reflections on India framed by late 19th century India, the work is both a historical document and a literary pleasure, notable for its empathetic tone and clear-eyed curiosity. Beyond its charm as travel writing, the book has lasting literary and historical significance: a contemporary witness to British India travels and to the cross-cultural conversations that helped shape modern Indian spirituality. Nivedita's reflections sit at the intersection of personal devotion, pedagogic zeal and comparative religion study, making the volume valuable to historians and to readers curious about the intellectual currents of the period. Presented here with careful editorial attention, the edition aims to serve casual readers who seek luminous storytelling as well as collectors of classic spiritual literature who prize authentic Sister Nivedita writings. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today, a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For seekers and spiritual readers, students of comparative religion and anyone captivated by the Victorian era travelogue, this is a readable, collectible testament to faith, friendship and the unsettled energies of late 19th century India.
