Satyendra Nath Bose on Swami Vivekananda

(Satyendra Nath Bose FRS was an Indian mathematician and physicist specialising in theoretical physics. He is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, collaborating with Albert Einstein in developing the foundation for Bose–Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate) The immeasurable force having its source within him had ceaselessly strived to have emanation. Throughout his life this irrepressible force had moved him around the world. And wherever he went, people who had his contact could experience this life-force and were, cons eque ntly, rejuv enat ed. There hardly was anyone more capable than him to arouse the people of our country from their deep illusory slumber…it was our misfortune that like the great Vedantist Sankaracharya, he had an early demise. But as the Sankaracharya had moved around India, so also was the Swami during the nineteenth century.
