Swami Vivekananda

Born to an aristocratic Bengali family as Narendra Nath Dutta, Swami Vivekananda was one of the well-known Hindu monks and a chief disciple of the 19th-century spiritual master Ramakrishna Paramhamsa. He is known for introducing the philosophies of Vedanta – the purpose of the Vedas – and Yoga – a spiritual discipline. Swami Vivekananda is credited for raising interfaith awareness in which he promoted cooperative, positive, and constructive awareness among people of different religions. At the time of crisis when young Narendrawas faced with doubts about the existence of God, he heard about Sri Ramakrishna – the yogi. In the year 1881, Narendra visited Sri Ramakrishna and questioned him about the existence of God. Sri Ramakrishna not only cleared all his doubts but also gave him spiritual knowledge and love. With this began the guru-disciple love between them and under Sri Ramakrishna’sguidance, Narendra stepped onto the spiritual path. After the death of Sri Ramakrishna, Narendratook over as the leader of the group of disciples.

Under his leadership, the new monastic brotherhood was formed and in the year 1887, they took vows of sannyasa thereby assuming new names. Narendra then became Swami Vivekananda. Having established the new monastic order, SwamiVivekananda heard an inner calling within him that urged him to achieve higher goals and greater missions in his life. In the year 1890, haven has taken blessings from Sri Sarada Devi, the consort of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda took upon the journey to explore and discover India. During his journey, Swami Vivekananda was appalled to see poverty and illiteracy of the masses all over India. His travels taught him that the real cause for India’s downfall and slow progress was the backwardness ofthe masses. To uplift society, he worked to infuse faith in the minds of the masses and provided them two kinds of knowledge through education – secular knowledge to improve their economic condition and spiritual knowledge to infuse faith and confidence in themselves so that they can rise from their given state.

It was in the year 1893 when Swami Vivekanandadecided to attend the World Parliament of Religion, which was to be held in Chicago. He knew that the Parliament would provide him the right platform to present the Master’smessage and also seek financial aid to carry out his plans for uplifting the masses. SwamiVivekananda’s speech at the Parliament gained him the recognition of an orator by divine right and a Messenger of Indian wisdom to the Western World. After the Parliament, Swami Vivekananda spent some years spreading the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna to the eastern parts of the USA and London. Upon returning to India, in the year 1897 he founded the unique organization called Ramakrishna Mission in which monks and individuals would come together to improve the condition of the masses and provide social services such as education, rehabilitation, medical aid, etc.

In the year 1898, Swami Vivekananda acquired a plot on the western bank of the Ganga at a place called Belur to establish a permanent abode for the monastery and the monastic order. This place came to be known as Belur Math. On 4th July 1902, Swami Vivekananda breathed his last. All through his efforts at uplifting the condition of the masses, Swami Vivekananda had delivered several lectures to inspire the youth and the educated classes of the country to sympathize with the condition of the society and aid him in taking action to better the state of the downtrodden people. In his lectures, he spoke about raising the religious consciousness of the people and creating in them pride about their rich cultural heritage. Inspired by his teachings, many became his disciples, some of them being Sister Nivedita, Josephine McLeod, and Sara Ole Bull who then took over serving the society.

He tamed an unbreakable wild stallion that full-grown men feared to approach at the age of 12, and that horse would carry him to military victory after military victory until his untimely death at the age of 32. He was tutored by one of the ancient world's greatest thinkers. His name says it all- Alexander The Great. But how much about Alexander is really true, and what's fiction? And ultimately, with a whopping zero Instagram followers, can we truly say he was all that great? Haters and historians alike will tell you that Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC to the Macedonian king Phillip II and his wife, Olympias. A true Greek however knows that Alexander was actually the love child of Zeus himself, who had a nasty habit of popping down to earth and taking various animal shapes to con women into sleeping with him. In many ways, Zeus was the original frat boy. Al
