  • 1893 Swami Brings Modern-Day Swamis to Annisquam
    1893 Swami Brings Modern-Day Swamis to Annisquam For the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Vivekananda's birth, the Vedanta Societies of Boston and Providence joined with the Annisquam Village Church in an interfaith service on July 28, 2013. The service was filled with a wonderful energy. Saffron robes and languages ranging from French to Bengali make annual appearances at the Annisquam Village Church in Gloucester. Modern-day Hindu Pilgrims visit to pay homage and walk in the steps of Swami Vivekananda, the first Hindu monk in America, who spoke from the Church's pulpit in 1893, just before he made history at the first meeting of the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago (an adjunct event to the Columbian Exposition) as representative of Hinduism. Eloquent and, at the time, exotic, Vivekananda mesmerized his audiences both here and in Chicago, winning new respect for and interest in the religions of the East. He started the Vedanta Societies in America to spread his message of harmony of religions and inherent divinity of the soul. Vivekananda remained in Gloucester for several weeks during his two visits. First as the guest of John Henry Wright, a Greek professor at Harvard who helped Vivekananda make the arrangements for his Parliament appearance; and then he stayed at the Annisquam residence of Alpheus Hyatt, whose marine biology station on Lobster Cove was the first iteration of the present-day Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Hyatt was the father of Gloucester's renowned sculptor, Anna Hyatt (later Huntington), who would have been 17 at the time of the Swami's visit.

  • Swami Vivekananda's Mission and Teachings
    LIFE IS A VOYAGE1: Swami Vivekananda’s Mission and Teachings – A Cognitive Linguistic Analysis with Reference to the Theme of HOMECOMING Suren Naicker Abstract This study offers an in-depth analysis of the well-known LIFE AS A JOURNEY conceptual metaphor, applied to Vivekananda’s mission as he saw it, as well as his teachings. Using conceptual metaphor theory as a framework, Vivekananda’s Complete Works were manually and electronically mined for examples of how he conceptualized his own mission, which culminated in the formation of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, a world-wide neo-Hindu organization. This was a corpus-based study, which starts with an overview of who Vivekananda was, including a discussion of his influence on other neo- Hindu leaders. This study shows that Vivekananda had a very clear understanding of his life’s mission, and saw himself almost in a messianic role, and was glad when his work was done, so he could return to his Cosmic ‘Home’. He uses these key metaphors to explain spiritual life in general as well as his own life’s work. Keywords: Vivekananda; neo-Hinduism; Ramakrishna; cognitive linguistics; conceptual metaphor theory 1 As is convention in the field of Cognitive Semantics, conceptual domains are written in UPPER CASE. Alternation Special Edition 28 (2019) 247 – 266 247 Print ISSN 1023-1757; Electronic ISSN: 2519-5476; DOI https://doi.org/10.29086/2519-5476/2019/sp28.4a10 Suren Naicker Introduction This article is an exposition of two conceptual metaphors based on the Complete Works2 of Swami Vivekananda. Conceptual metaphor theory is one of the key theories within the field of cognitive linguistics.

  • Swami Vivekananda
    Swami Vivekananda Swami Vivekananda (Bengali: [ʃami bibekanɔndo] ( listen); 12 January 1863 – 4 Swami Vivekananda July 1902), born Narendranath Datta (Bengali: [nɔrendronatʰ dɔto]), was an Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna.[4][5] He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world[6][7] and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century.[8] He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India.[9] Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission.[7] He is perhaps best known for his speech which began, "Sisters and brothers of America ...,"[10] in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893. Born into an aristocratic Bengali Kayastha family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his guru, Ramakrishna, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind. After Vivekananda in Chicago, September Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and 1893. On the left, Vivekananda wrote: acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India. He "one infinite pure and holy – beyond later travelled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the thought beyond qualities I bow down World's Religions. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures to thee".[1] and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, Personal England and Europe.

  • 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 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.
