“Lectures from Colombo to Almora” is based on the experiences of which one of the following?

“Lectures from Colombo to Almora” is a titled collection of public lectures authored and delivered by Swami Vivekananda; the digitized book entry explicitly attributes the work to “S Vivekananda” and contains his lecture text (for example, the Floral Hall lecture) [1]. Narendranath Dutta, who became widely known as Swami Vivekananda, is documented as the chief disciple of Ramakrishna who travelled and lectured across India to spread those teachings, making him the identified speaker and compiler of such lecture collections [2]. Combining the book attribution with biographical accounts of Vivekananda’s Indian lecture tours confirms Swami Vivekananda as the source of “Lectures from Colombo to Almora.”
