This book is based on a speech delivered by Swami Gahananandaji, who served as the General Secretary of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission.The speech was originally presented on December 27, 1990, during a conference for the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Peravai in Tamil Nadu. The event was organized by the Sri Ramakrishna Math, Madras, likely to discuss the movement's philosophy or community outreach.

Following the live delivery, the text was adapted into an article and published in the May 1991 issue of The Vedanta Kesari, a prominent monthly spiritual magazine produced by the Madras Math. Essentially, this passage serves as a formal citation, establishing the historical context and official record of the Swami’s address to the devotees and scholars in Tamil Nadu.
