The Gift Unopened—A New American Revolution explores Swami Vivekananda’s spiritual gift to the modern world, which, as the title suggests, remains unopened till date.
By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was clear that political and economic solutions alone were insufficient to address the challenges and the widespread side-effects of industrial and technological growth in the ‘industrialized world’. In this context, Swami Vivekananda’s arrival in America in 1893 and his introduction of Vedanta marked a new era. His life-giving and soul-enriching message of Vedanta can instil hope and enlightenment. Though originally written for the American context, the book is relevant to all the people of the industrialized world.
