About the Book
Swami Vivekananda: The Feasting, Fasting Monk offers a fascinating glimpse into the culinary interests of one of India's most revered spiritual leaders. Over the last 150 years, countless writings have explored Swamiji's profound thoughts on spirituality and philosophy, but his culinary preferences have remained less discussed. This book sheds light on Swami Vivekananda's relationship with food—what he ate, his views on vegetarianism versus non-vegetarianism, and the dishes he truly loved.
From his mother’s chorchori (a mixed vegetable delicacy) to his father's pulao, and even his own khichuri, the book delves into Swamiji's food preferences. It also uncovers the fascinating story of how he spread the art of making pulao and khichuri in the United States, alongside his teachings on the Vedas.
The book not only explores Swamiji's deep connection with food but also highlights the lesser-known tales of his life during times of hunger and hardship, when he went days without food. Sankar brings to light these lesser-known facets of Swami Vivekananda’s life, presenting a unique narrative that enriches our understanding of the monk’s character, spirituality, and passions beyond his philosophical teachings.
