"From time to time, at long intervals of time, a being finds his strategy to this planet who is unquestionably a wanderer from one other sphere; who brings with him to this sorrowful world a few of the glory, the facility, the radiance of the far distant area from which he came... Such a being is past all comparability, for he transcends all strange requirements and ideals. Others could also be good, his thoughts is luminous... Others may be great, they're nice only as in contrast with these in their own class. Others could also be good, highly effective, gifted, having more of goodness, more of power, extra of genius than their fellowmen. It is only a matter of comparison... But with Swami Vivekananda, there might be no comparison. He belonged to a different order. He was not of this world. He was a radiant being who had descended from another, a higher sphere for a particular purpose. One may need recognized that he would not keep long." -Sister Christine

A youngster of divine radiance and effulgence took start within the pious and affluent family of Vishwanath Datta and Bhuvaneshwari Devi on twelfth January 1863 at 6:33 a.m. in Kolkata. It was a Monday, and the day of Makar Sankranti (an necessary Hindu festival). The kid was christened Narendra Nath Dutta. The identical child evolved into the great Swami Vivekananda in time.

When we analyse the lifetime of Swami Vivekananda, we are left astonished. What a life it was! Plainly all the constructive attributes of man acquired developed in Swamiji at their best. His expanse of information, his unfailing reminiscence, his unusual focus, his purity of character, his magnetic personality, his melodious voice, his deep devotion to God and his grasp Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa, and but his simplicity and humility, have been all awe-inspiring.

It was Swami Vivekananda who for the very first time established Hinduism as an esteemed faith on the world platform through his enlightening and eloquent speeches within the West throughout his 4 years long keep there, beginning from the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in September, 1893. He disillusioned the westerners who considered Hindus as bigots and Hinduism as a religion of mad.

Swami Vivekananda was one of many nice thinkers of the fashionable world, and has made vital contributions to the world thought also. Swamiji’s message of potential Divinity of the soul, faith in man’s interior Self as the source of infinite energy, morality, freedom and joy; his message of seeing God in all, work as worship, service to man as service to God; his message of synthesis of yogas and all-spherical improvement of human character; his message of concord of religions, concord of religion science, concord of the East and the West-this is exactly the message that the present world, particularly the youth of our country needs.

When Swami Vivekananda returned from the west in January 1897, he received a grand welcome from the Indian people. He delivered speeches in numerous states of India in response to the enthusiastic and heat welcome that he obtained from his countrymen. His speeches, as all the time, were so powerful and awe-inspiring that they raised a wave of vigour and vitality in individuals, which deluged the whole nation.

Needless to say, the one hundred and fiftieth beginning anniversary of such an incredible personage as Swami Vivekananda must be celebrated in a fit and correct manner applicable to his universally respected stature as a world instructor, thinker, leader, prophet, pathfinder and benefactor of humanity. The Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission are gearing up for this.

Swami Vivekananda was a visionary and a pacesetter in true sense. His teachings are as sensible and efficient within the fashionable age as they were greater than a century ago. On July four, 1902, the day on which Swamiji assumed Mahasamadhi (left his mortal physique), he was overheard by a brother monk saying to himself as he got here out of the shrine, "If there were another Vivekananda he would have understood what Vivekananda has done. And but what number of Vivekanandas shall be born in time?"

Swami Vivekananda once made a prophecy that he would by no means see forty, & it proved appropriate as he passed away on the age of 39 years and 6 months (approx.). He lived younger, he died young, and he also had great expectations from the younger people of the nation. He used to say: "My faith is in the youthful generation, the modern era, out of them will come my workers. They'll work out the whole problem, like lions. I've formulated the thought and have given my life to them. They are going to unfold my message from centre to centre till we cover the entire of India."

The Authorities of India also acknowledged that there could possibly be no higher excellent for the youth aside from Swami Vivekananda, hence his birthday, i.e., January 12 was declared as National Youth Day by the Government of India in 1984 to commemorate folks of Swamiji's birthday and likewise to encourage them, especially youth, to inculcate the teachings and beliefs of Swamiji in their lives.

There may be certainly no exaggeration in saying that Swami Vivekananda was a character past comparison.
