Surpasses and Builds Upon Volume 1!

Let me first state that Clay Lomakayu is the perfect reader for these volumes. What can I say, I have read just about everything, and begun practicing many principles taught in Swami Vivekananda's volumes. I picked up the spiritual gifts of healing myself and others and talking to God, I have bi-located one time, passed on these same gifts to others, etc. and though these may seem impossible for someone just beginning, as you remove the bad egoic habits within, "the weight of your past karma", you unveil the good that was there already, something everyone can attain to if they do more than just read, but put into practice.

I put Swami Vivekananda up there with the works of the Imitation of Christ, St. John of the Cross (Dark Night of the Soul, The Assent of Mount Carmel) St. Teresa of Avila (Interior Castle), Guru Nanak, The Tao, Bhagavad Gita, Course in Miracles, Huang Po's works, St. Mother Teresa's works, Dr. David Hawking's works, and other prized works, but the main difference is Swami Vivekananda speaks in layman's terms someone not gifted with intellectual prowess can understand. His understanding of religion and spirituality is just awesome to listen to and ponder about.

The 18 hours goes by quickly, the learning doesn't stop, even I was riveted by some of the things the Swami spoke about, and his level of understanding was simply at a masters masters level. The Swami attained (Union, Christ Consciousness, Buddha Consciousness, Oneness, Ascension, Enlightenment) right before he left the world. What a gift are these books, such a treasure. Thank you Medicine of One for publishing these works for audible!

Understanding The Hindi Philosophy

Although written in late 19th Century and early 20th Century, the intellectual explaination of The Hindi Cultural Philosophy was easily understood and excellently explained.

This read, part 1 and part 2, has broadened my Spiritual ambitions, meditation and lifelong learning goals exponentially.

Excellent audio book!

CARRIED AWAY AND SILENCED!

This whole series of the Complete Works of Vivekananda interpreted by Lomakayu affects me deeply. I can not explain it, but in listening to them I have changed internally. Thank you.

A Jewel of Wisdom

This is the second volume I purchased and felt this was deeper than volume 1. Clay channels Vivekananda well and I really enjoy his inflections.

It’s hard to believe this work is from lectures from over a hundred years ago about a philosophy thousands of years old. However, the subject matter and themes are relevant to everyday life today.

As a Christian, I never felt SV said anything that conflicted with what I truly felt in my heart. If anything, he echoed many of the concepts taught by Christ. Behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.

terrible narrator but Divine message

This book is so wonderful that not even a terrible narrator could ruin it. I was ok with "Are" for our and "yer" for you're but it just got worse and worse. It turned out to be an excellent exercise in detachment for 20 hours trying not to flinch with each new butchery of English. I guess if I was really spiritually evolved I wouldn't be writing this, but be forewarned not to let the narrator ruin Vivekananda's beautiful writing for you.

Another one

Brilliant! I can feel my knowledge expansion with every chapter. Buying part 3 asap! Get ready to change.
