Swami Abhedananda’s psychical research and after-death writings

Record summary

Swami Abhedananda, a Ramakrishna-Vedanta monk who returned to India after years in the United States, wrote and lectured on the soul, reincarnation, death, and psychical phenomena. His discussions drew on Vedantic concepts while engaging Western spiritualist and psychical-research literature. The corpus is valuable for comparing religious argument, reported séance material, and attempts to give survival claims a quasi-scientific presentation. Researchers should identify editions and lecture dates carefully, since English and Bengali publications circulated in different forms and later compilations may alter context.
