  • Swami Vivekananda: Life and Teachings
    Swami Vivekananda: Life and Teachings Swami Vivekananda, known in his pre-monastic life as Narendranath Datta, was born in an affluent family in Kolkata on 12 January 1863. His father,Vishwanath Datta, was a successful attorney with interests in a wide range of subjects, and his mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was endowed with deep devotion, strong character and other qualities. A precocious boy, Narendra excelled in music, gymnastics and studies. By the time he graduated from Calcutta University, he had acquired a vast knowledge of different subjects, especially Western philosophy and history. Born with a yogic temperament, he used to practise meditation even from his boyhood, and was associated with Brahmo Movement for some time. With Sri Ramakrishna At the threshold of youth Narendra had to pass through a period of spiritual crisis when he was assailed by doubts about the existence of God. It was at that time he first heard about Sri Ramakrishna from one of his English professors at college. One day in November 1881, Narendra went to meet Sri Ramakrishna who was staying at the Kali Temple in Dakshineshwar. He straightaway asked the Master a question which he had put to several others but had received no satisfactory answer: “Sir, have you seen God?” Without a moment’s hesitation, Sri Ramakrishna replied: “Yes, I have. I see Him as clearly as I see you, only in a much intenser sense.” Apart from removing doubts from the mind of Narendra, Sri Ramakrishna won him over through his pure, unselfish love. Thus began a guru-disciple relationship which is quite unique in the history of spiritual masters.

  • A Brief Life of Swami Vivekananda
    A BRIEF LIFE OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA EARLY DAYS Swami Vivekananda, or Narendranath Datta, or simply Naren, as he was called in his pre-monastic days, was born to Vishwanath Datta and Bhuvaneswari Devi in Calcutta on Monday, 12 January 1863. The Datta family was rich, respectable, and renowned for charity, learning, and a strong spirit of independence. Vishwanath Datta was an attorney-at-law in the Calcutta High Court. He was proficient in English and Persian, and took great delight in reciting to his family the poems of the Persian Poet Hafiz. Bhuvaneswari Devi was an accomplished lady with a regal bearing. She was deeply religious. Before the birth of Naredranath, though she had daughters, she yearned for a son and asked one of her relatives at Varanasi to make religious offerings to Viresvara Siva. It is said that she dreamt later that Siva promised to be born as her son. Narendranath was born some time afterwards. In this early childhood, Narendranath was rather restless and given to much fun and frolic. But at the same time, he had a great attraction for spiritual matters and would play at worshipping or meditating on the images of Ram- Sita, Siva etc. The stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, which his mother told him, left an indelible impression on his mind. Traits such as courage, sympathy for the poor, and attraction towards wandering monks appeared spontaneously in him. Even in childhood, Narendranath demanded convincing arguments for every proposition. With these qualities of head and heart, he grew into a vigorous youth.

  • Swami Vivekananda's Devotion to His Mother Bhuvaneshwari Devi
    Swami Vivekananda’s Devotion to His Mother Bhuvaneshwari Devi By Swami Tathagatananda The study of the cultural history of the world gives us an insight about the deep impact of religion on human development. Religious ideals, unflinching faith in divinity and a spiritual orientation permeate daily life. To understand a culture, we must evaluate the harmonious religious values of that culture. The English historian Christopher Dawson expressed this view: . throughout the greater part of mankind’s history, in all ages and states of society, religion has been the great unifying force in our culture. It has been the guardian of tradition, the preserver of the moral law, the educator and the teacher of wisdom. In all ages, the first creative works of a culture are due to a religious inspiration and dedicated to a religious end. The spiritual and ethical culture of any race preserves its noble characteristics. Swamiji says, “It is a change of the soul itself for the better that alone will cure the evils of life.” In his lecture, “The Future of India, Swamiji highlights the true role of culture: It is culture that withstands shocks, not a simple mass of knowledge. You can put a mass of knowledge into the world, but that will not do it much good. There must come culture into the blood. We all know in modern times of nations which have masses of knowledge, but what of them? They are like tigers, they are like savages, because culture is not there. Knowledge is only skin-deep, as civilization is, and a little scratch brings out the old savage.

The aim is to examine how this identity was formed by rationalising and valorising an available repertoire of images and myths in the face of official and missionary denigration of Hindu tradition. This phenomenon is investigated in terms of a discourse (or a conglomeration of discursive forms) produced by a middle-class operating within the constraints of colonialism. The thesis begins with the Hindu Mela founded in 1867 and the way in which this organisation illustrated the attempt of the Western educated middle-class at self- assertion.

  • Philosophy of Swami Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo – a Critical Analysis
    International Journal of Humanities, Art and Social Studies (IJHAS), Vol. 3, No.2, May 2018 PHILOSOPHY OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA AND SRI AUROBINDO A CRITICAL ANALYSIS S.Lalitha Asst Prof. of English, Meenakshi College of Engineering, Chennai ABSTRACT Sri Aurobindo , was an Indian nationalist, freedom fighter, philosopher, yogi, guru and poet. He joined the Indian movement for freedom from British rule, for a while became one of its influential leaders and then turned into a spiritual reformer, introducing his visions on human progress and spiritual evolution. Swami Vivekananda, known in his pre-monastic life as Narendranath Datta, was born in an affluent family in Kolkata. His father,Vishwanath Datta, was a successful attorney with interests in a wide range of subjects, and his mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was endowed with deep devotion, strong character and other qualities. A precocious boy, Narendra excelled in music, gymnastics and studies. By the time he graduated from Calcutta University, he had acquired a vast knowledge of different subjects, especially Western philosophy and history. These, then the Shâstras, the Guru, and the Mother¬land are the three notes that mingle themselves to form the music of the works of Vivekananda .The present paper brings out the critical analysis of the philosophies of the two great spiritual philosophers and writers in a comparative style. 1. INTRODUCTION Swami Vivekananda is one of most admired spiritual leaders of India. The world knows him as an inspiring Hindu monk, his motherland regards him as the patriot saint of modern India, and Hindus consider him as a source of spiritual power, mental energy, strength-giving and open- mindedness.

  • Swami Vivekananda Vivekananda
    Swami Vivekananda HIS LIFE AND WORKS VHPA Camp SWAMI VIVEKANANDA HIS LIFE AND WORKS With excerpts from “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda” - 1 - SWAMI VIVEKANANDA His Life and Works The Vision of Vivekananda and the Hindu Renaissa nce The Importance of the Vision: In December, 1892, after two years of wandering as a homeless Hindu monk, Swami Vivekananda found himself in Kanyakumari, the extreme southern tip of India. After darshan of the goddess in the temple, he swam to a large rock in the Indian Ocean, a few hundred yards from the shore. There, Vivekananda meditated long on the fallen condition of the Indian nation, the poverty, the misery, and the ignorance of the masses. There he had a vision in which he clearly saw the past glory of his motherland, the present fallen state, and the future greatness. In this vision, his own mission was made clear to him. He would dedicate his life to the service of his poor and ignorant countrymen. He had become a monk in the pursuit of personal salvation, to have a vision of the Lord. But his own, personal salvation will have to wait. He saw the Lord in the suffering people. The service of these people will be his service to the Lord. He would inspire others, especially the youth of India to take up service of the poor. His goal would be nothing less than the all round renaissance of Bharath; physical, mental, social, and spiritual. At that time, he was all of 28 years of age. He clearly saw how immense the task would be of resurrecting the wounded physical body of Bharath.

  • THE INFLUENCE of VIVEKANANDA's PHILOSOPHY on EDUCATION and WORLD THOUGHT Dr. D. Rita Suguna Sundari Principal, St.Paul's
    Aarhat Multidisciplinary International Education Research Journal (AMIERJ) A Peer Reviewed Multidisciplinary Journal UGC Approved Journal No 48178, 48818 Impact Factor 5.18 ISSN 2278-5655 THE INFLUENCE OF VIVEKANANDA’S PHILOSOPHY ON EDUCATION AND WORLD THOUGHT Dr. D. Rita Suguna Sundari Principal, St.Paul’s College of Education,Giddalur, Prakasam(Dt) Introduction :- Human being is superior to other animals because he is educable. Animals can be trained but human beings can be educated. Education starts from the birth of a child and continues till his death. The English word ‗Education‘ has come from the combination of two Latin words. One is ‗Educare‘ that means to drawing out or to bring up or to leading out or to train or to mould. And the other word is ‗Educatum‘ that means act of teaching i.e. it throws light on the principles and practice of teaching. The word ‗Educatum‘ is synonymous with instruction. On the other hand the word ‗Educare‘ is synonymous with development of the latent possibilities or faculties of the child. The function of education is to draw out rather than put in. Philosophy :- The word philosophy comes from the Greek word ‗philosophia‘ which is made up of the word phileo (love) and Sophia (wisdom). Thus, the literal meaning of philosophy is ―love of wisdom‖. One has often heard the phrase ―what is your philosophy ?‖ When questions are asked, relating to various problems. When an individual answers such questions, he is actually making statements which represent only partial segments of his philosophy. Focus on the present Study:- The present study is on the analysis of the influence of Vivekananda‘s philosophy on education & world thought.

  • NATIONALYOUTH DAY 12TH JANUARY, 2021 Birth Anniversary of Swami VIVEKANANDA
    NATIONALYOUTH DAY 12TH JANUARY, 2021 Birth Anniversary of Swami VIVEKANANDA Swami Vivekananda, known in his pre-monastic life as Narendra Nath Datta, was born in an affluent family in Kolkata on 12 January 1863. His father, Vishwanath Datta, was a successful attorney with interests in a wide range of subjects, and his mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was endowed with deep devotion, strong character and other qualities. A precocious boy, Narendra excelled in music, gymnastics and studies. By the time he graduated from Calcutta University, he had acquired a vast knowledge of different subjects, especially Western philosophy Christianity, science and history. Social reform became a prominent element of Vivekananda’s thought, and he joined the Brahmo Samaj (Society of Brahma), dedicated to eliminating child marriage and illiteracy and determined to spread education among women and the lower castes. He later became the most-notable disciple of Ramakrishna, who demonstrated the essential unity of all religions. Always stressing the universal and humanistic side of the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism, as well as belief in service rather than dogma, Vivekananda attempted to infuse vigour into Hindu thought, placing less emphasis on the prevailing pacifism and presenting Hindu spirituality to the West. He was an activating force in the movement to promote Vedanta philosophy (one of the six schools of Indian philosophy) in the United States and England. In 1893 he appeared in Chicago as a spokesman for Hinduism at the World’s Parliament of Religions and so captivated the assembly that a newspaper account described him as “an orator by divine right and undoubtedly the greatest figure at the Parliament.” Thereafter he lectured throughout the United States and England, making converts to the Vedanta movement.
