Swami Vvekananda Works Volume -4. Lectures and Discourses THOUGHTS ON THE GITA ======================================================= THOUGHTS ON THE GITA: During his sojourn in Calcutta in 1897, Swami Vivekananda used to stay for the most part at the Math, the headquarters of the Ramakrisnna Mission, located then at Alambazar.
