NOTE

Swami Vivekananda left Calcutta for the West, for the second time, on the 20th June, 1899, by the BISN steamship Golconda. In reading these pages the reader should remember that Swamiji wrote them in alight, humorous tone in Bengali, which it is impossible to render in English.

The [6]second section of these memoirs, relates to his return journey from the West at the end of 1900.

These were originally published in the Udbodhan.
