This "Publisher's Note" introduces the book Swami Vivekananda—Leader of Sacred Nationhood by Prof. S. K. Chakraborty, released ahead of Vivekananda’s 150th birth anniversary in 2013. The text emphasizes Vivekananda’s core message: the "Divinity of the Soul" and the "Unity of existence," rooted in Advaita Vedanta.

The publisher argues that modern society has succumbed to materialism and sensuality, leading to an erosion of spiritual values, particularly among the youth. By highlighting the contributions of figures like Gandhi and Aurobindo, the note positions Vivekananda as a vital guide for national regeneration. Ultimately, the book aims to inspire a "serious enquiry" into these spiritual ideals to help emancipate humanity and build an ideal society based on renunciation and sacred nationhood.
