    ABOUT SWAMI VIVEKANAND


     Swami Vivekananda was born Narendra Nath Datta,
    on 12th January, 1863.
     He was a monk and chief disciple of Ramakrishna
    Paramhansa.
     He introduced Indian philosophies of Vedanta and
    Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising
    interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the world
    stage during the late 19th century.
    VEDANTA
     It was based on Upanishads and their interpretation.
     Its aim was to enquire about ‘Brahman’ (ultimate
    reality) which was the central concept of Upanishads.
     It saw Veda as the ultimate source of information and
    whose authority could not be questioned.
     It emphasized on path of knowledge (jnana) as
    opposed to that of sacrifice (karma).
     Ultimate aim of knowledge was 'Moksha' i.e. liberation
    from 'sansara'.
     He established Ramakrishna Mission in 1987, named
    after his Guru Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa. The
    institution did extensive educational and philanthropic
    work in India.
     He also represented India in the first Parliament of
    Religion held in Chicago (U.S.) in 1893.
    Core Values Of Swami Vivekanand

     ETHICS
     Morality in both individual life and social life is mostly
    based on fear of societal censure.
     But Vivekananda gave a new theory of ethics and new
    principle of morality based on the intrinsic purity and
    oneness of the Atman.
     Ethics according to Vivekananda was nothing but a code
    of conduct that helps a man to be a good citizen.
     We should be pure because purity is our real nature, our
    true divine Self or Atman.
     Similarly, we should love and serve our neighbours
    because we are all one in the Supreme Spirit known as
    Paramatma or Brahman.
     Youth
     Swamiji believed that if our youth is determined, there can
    be nothing impossible for them to achieve in the world.
     He urged youth to have dedication to the cause to attain
    success. Pursuing a challenge with utmost dedication is
    really the road to success, for our youth.
     Hence Swamiji called upon the youth to not only build up
    their mental energies, but their physical ones as well. He
    wanted ‘muscles of iron’ as well as ‘nerves of steel’.
     His birthday on January 12 is celebrated as National Youth Day
    and the week commencing from that day is known as the
    National Youth Week.
    Conclusion
     Swami Vivekananda belonged to the 19th century, yet
    his message and his life are more relevant today than
    in the past and perhaps, will be more relevant in future.
     Persons like Swami Vivekananda do not cease to exist
    with their physical death - their influence and their
    thought, the work which they initiate, go on gaining
    momentum as years pass by, and ultimately, reach a
    fulfilment which they envisaged.
