<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>
Born as Narendranath Dutta on 12th January 1863 in the holy and divine
place of Kolkata, Swami Vivekananda was a great Indian saint. He was a
figure with “high thinking and simple living”. He was a great pious
leader, a philosopher, and also a devout personality with great
principles. His eminent philosophical works comprise of “Modern
Vedanta” and “Raj Yoga”. He was a principal disciple of “Ramkrishna
Paramhansa” and was an initiator of Ramkrishna Math and Ramkrishna
Mission. He thus spent his whole life in the dispersion of the values
embedded in the great Indian culture.
</p>
<h3>Childhood Days</h3>
<p>
Swami Vivekananda, the son of Shri Vishwanath and mother Bhuvneshwari
Devi was called by the name “Narendranath Dutta” in the early days.
Narendra was a child of unquestioned expertise and intellectual
capability who used to take grasp of all his school teachings at first
sight. This excellence was recognized by his Gurus and thus was named
“Shrutidhar” by them. He possessed manifold talents and skills
comprising of swimming, wrestling which were a part of his schedule.
Influenced by the teachings of Ramayana and Mahabharata, he had
bottomless respect for religion. “Pavan Putra Hanuman” was his ideal
for life. Narendra was a lover of heroism and mystical by nature.
Despite his upbringing in a spiritual family, he owned an
argumentative personality in his infancy. His entire beliefs were
assisted by an apt rationale and judgment behind them. Such a quality
made him even put a question on the existence of the Almighty. He thus
visited several saints and asked each one “have you seen God?”His
spiritual quest left unanswered until he met “Ramkrishna Paramhansa”.
</p>
<h3>
Meeting with Ramkrishna Paramhansa and Harmonization of Indian Culture
</h3>
<p>
Swami Vivekananda met Ramkrishna Paramhansa for the first time when
the latter visited his friend’s residence in Kolkata. Conscious of the
supernatural powers of Swami Vivekananda called him to Dakshineshwar.
He had a deep insight that Swamiji’s birth was a boon to mankind for
the upliftment of the universe. Fulfillment of his spiritual
inquisitiveness made he finally acknowledge Ramkrishna Paramhansa in
the figure of his “Guru”. He was moved from darkness to illumination
by his “Guru”. As his deep gratitude and reverence for his Guru made
him travel all the four directions for the diffusion of his Guru’s
teachings. Swamiji won the hearts of everyone by his incredible speech
at Chicago by addressing the audience as “Sisters and Brothers of
America” Vivekananda quoted these words” I am proud to belong to a
religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal
acceptance. We believe not only in universal tolerance but we accept
all religions as true.” Thus, he set forward the worth of Indian
religion exhibiting the values of universal acceptance, oneness, and
harmony despite multiplicity in cultures. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
once said,” Swamiji harmonized the East and the West, religion, and
science, past and the present and that is why he is great.” He played
a prominent role in ending India’s cultural remoteness from the rest
of the world. A figure of highest ideals and great thoughts, Swamiji
was an inspiration for the Youth of India. Through his teachings he
wanted to fill the young brains with the powers of self-realization,
character formation, to recognize inner strengths, service to others,
an optimistic outlook, tireless efforts and a lot more.
</p>
<h3>Other Great Works by Swami Vivekananda</h3>
<p>
His famous quotations include, “Arise, awake and stop not till the
goal is reached.” He also added that anything making a child
physically, intellectually and spiritually weak must be rejected as a
poison. He also emphasized on an education that leads to character
formation. His establishment of “Ramkrishna Math” and “Ramkrishna
Mission” was a sign of “Guru Bhakti”, his sacrifice, austerity, and
service of the poor and the downtrodden people of India. He was also a
founder of Belur Math. He spread the message of divinity and the true
aims of scriptures. This great patriotic monk of the Mother Earth took
his last breath on 4th July 1902 at Belur Math.
</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>
Swamiji carried the messages of the rich and varied heritage of Indian
culture and Hinduism, non-duality, selfless love, and service towards
the nation. His mesmerizing personality with the highest virtues
illuminated the young minds. His teachings aroused the realization of
the power of the soul in them. Thus, we celebrate his “Avtaran Divas”
12th January, as the National Youth Day with great zeal and
enthusiasm.
