Works
The Swami rendered great service to the cause of the Vedanta movement in the West by his clear and thorough expositions of Vedantic teachings through lectures and classes for nearly four decades. During his ministry the Vedanta Society expanded its activities greatly, adding to it two sub-centres and two forest retreats and a new temple in San Francisco. He also promoted Swami Vivekananda's view of active humanitarian service.
From 1953 onward the Swami's lectures were recorded on tape. Some of them have been transcribed and published.
