Swami Vivekananda's Legacy of Service: A Study of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission
Beckerlegge, Gwilym (Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies, Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies, Head of Department of Religious Studies, Open University, UK)
This volume deals specifically with the contentious issue of sewa, organised service to humanity that was Vivekananda's legacy to his followers. It is a good study of the Ramakrishna movement and argues that its idea of organised service also partly had its roots in philanthropy specifically in the South Asian context.
