Swami Vivekananda.
Swami Vivekananda was born on 12th January 1863 in Kolkata. His father
name is Vishwanath Dutt and mother's name was Bhuvaneshwari Devi. Before he
became a hermit his name was Narenranath Dutt. And he was also known as Naren.
His family was well known for wealth, tradition.. ..large heartedness and was
scholarly. Vishwanath Dutt was Attorney at Law at Kolkata high court. He used
to practice law at the Kolkata high school. He was a thinker. A person who was
extremely kind. He had a great deal of empathy towards the poor. He had a
passionate and valuable point of view.. ..towards religious and social issues.
Bhuvaneshwari Devi was a very simple lady. His father believed in the western
culture. He wanted to educate his son Narendra in English.. ..and make him the
follow the western culture.
Swami Vivekananda Teachings
Narendra was always very sharp. And his interest lied in God and
spirituality. Hence he joined the Brahma society first. But he didn't find
peace there. In the meanwhile he had graduated in BA from the Kolkata
university. And started preparing for the law exam. At this time he met lots of
people.. ..to clear his religious and spiritual doubts. But he didn't find any
answers to his doubts anywhere.
One day one of his relatives took him to
Ramkrishna Paramhansa. Swami RamKrishna Paramhans asked Narendra as soon as he
saw him. Can you sing a hymn? Narendra said. Yes I can. Then Narendra sang a
couple of hymns in his melodious voice. Swami Paramhans was really pleased with
his hymns. From that time Narendra started singing hymns for Swami Paramhans.
And became his disciple. He had become a staunch follower of the Veda theology.
Between 1887 and 1892.. ..Swami Vivekanand lived a life of anonymity. After
performing penance in a life of solitude.. ..he went on a tour of India. Swami
Paramhans left for the heavenly abode on 16th August 1886.
Swami Vivekanand
wanted to make an important contribution.. ..in the propaganda of Veda and Yoga
in the western culture . He was a famous and an impactful guru of the Vedas.
His real name was Narendra Nath Dutt. He had represented the Hindu ideology..
..at the world religious conference held at Chicago in 1893. India's Vedas
managed to reach every country of America and Europe.. ..thanks to Swami
Vivekanand. He established the Ram Krishna mission and it is doing its work
even today. He was Swami Ramkrishna Parmamhans's well qualified and talented
disciple. He is known for starting his speech he made at the US.. ..with the
line my dear American brothers and sisters. Swami Vivekanand has mentioned
Pawhari Baba.. ..at various places in his speech and writing. Pawhari means
someone who feeds on air. A well-known fact about Pawhari Baba was that he
wouldn't eat anything. He was really impressed by this weird sage.. ..and he
also penned Pawhari Baba's biography. Pawhari Baba used to live in a cave. He
would meditate in the cave for days and months on end. No one knows what he use
to eat during that long a period. That's why people named him Pawhari Baba.
Pawhari meant someone who feeds on air. Someone who spend his life only by
consuming air.
The speech made by Swami Vivekananda.. ..at the world religious
conference in Chicago. Swami Vivekananda really discussed speech at Chicago..
..at the world religious conference on 11 December 1893. At whatever point individuals
talk about him.. ..this discourse of his definitely talked about. His speech
read. Get up. Wake up. And don't stop till you achieve your goal. I teach love
and love only. And my teaching is based on the great facts of the Vedas..
..which enlighten us about equality and completeness of the soul. Success has
three important aspects. Purity, patience and determination. But what's above
everything is love. We need an educated which develops the character..
..develops the mental powers, expands our knowledge.. ..and which makes us able
enough to be independent. Explain to yourself and explain others. Call out to
the soul that's asleep. And see how it comes to life. When a dormant soul comes
to life.. ..you'll achieve power, progress, goodness. Everything. My belief
systems can be communicated in these words as it were. Human kind should use
divinity at every step of the age. We strive to get more in life because of
power only. And this makes us commit sins. And invite sorrow. Weakness is the
reason for sins and sorrows. Weakness opens the door for ignorance. And
ignorance opens the door for sorrow. If you have faith in 33 crore Gods and
Goddesses.. ..but not in your own self then you cannot attain salvation. Have
faith in yourself. Stay dogged and become strong. This is what we need. The
maxim of Swami's ideologies is inspired.. ..from a mantra of the kathopanishad.
