Publisher's Note to the Revised Edition In this revised edition, we corrected some small mistakes which took place in the previous editions. We hope it will be equally popular as its Bengali counterpart has been. To begin with, it has been translated into English and is now being put out, entitled Swami Vivekananda : The Friend of All. Now there is the demand that the book be translated into other languages. The book became at once popular and has been reprinted four times since it first appeared. The book, in Bengali, is a compilation of striking episodes in Swami Vivekananda's life, with some of his invaluable utterances. Preface to the First Edition In the year 1988 when the country was celebrating Swami Vivekananda's 125th birth-anniversary, the Institute published a Bengali book, Sabar SwamyT, as a token of its tribute to the Swami.
