SWAMI VIVEKANANDA (1863-1902)


Like a great messiah, Swami Vivekananda emerged on the Indian and world scene preaching the enternal gospel of the Vedanta. A true disciple  of the great master Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Swami Vivekananda revived the pride of his countrymen in the great heritage of his country  the greatness of Hindu religion and catholic outlook of his people. He spread the Vedanta not only in the far corners of the country, but in the West, taking America by storm with his historic Chicago address at the world parliament of religions. Vedanta and all that Hinduism stands for became a house word with the missions set up by him and named after his master in different parts of India and the world. Like his master, he also proclaimed the essential oneness of all religions and condemned bigotry.

The Swami’s heart always went out in sympathy for the poor and neglected masses. Once he said: “I actually saw God in them. How guileless they are!”


Swami Vivekananda always spoke of faith:”Believe first in yourself and then in God …”
