WHO WAS HE THE GREAT? READ AND FINDOUT

An incarnation of Goddess of strength and power, personification of dynamism and fearlessness arose from the experience of the immortality of the soul. Flaming words were the vibrations of his immortal soul. Powerful words and teachings like and similar to God become words as there is no end to his power reserve of his words.

His stupendous and marvelous works, while reading thrills like an electric vibration. A personality with puissant knowledge and immeasurable wisdom. He does not know at all what FEAR is. The fierce was not fierce and terrible was not terrible to him. His massive intellect was at par with his burning enthusiasm for the welfare of the poor. Had luminous and passionate vision to meet God face to face. This quest and thirst for God got him the breakthrough and made him a great monk.

At the age of 30, he stood as an intellectual giant and rose to speak at Chicago, USA, at the World’s parliament of religions. Sense of Indian righteousness flowed through his lips. Profundity of the message he delivered and the impact it created on the world was staggering.

An embodiment of energy with vibrations and was known as Cyclonic monk, Warrior monk, Indian Napoleon etc. for his dynamism. The triumphant march by him all over the country demonstrated to the people that Hinduism had regained its vitality and force. He breathed life into our moribund religion by forcefully explaining the strength giving ideas and ideals. He further explained and emphasized that “all power is within us”. Purity, unselfishness and sincere love for a holy and serene cause will bring out that power.

He further reiterated that “physical weakness is the cause of the human miseries” to some extend. He further re-emphasized that, this is not the time for us to weep, as we had enough of weeping, and this is not the time to remain soft. What our country now needs are muscles of iron, nerves of steel and gigantic will. Have faith in you and stand erect on that faith. Theme of his message was “arise, awake and STOP NOT till the goal is achieved.

It was indeed a great task and daring adventure to bring solidarity in the hopelessly divided Hindu fold. I t was of course of a matter of first blasting away the boulders of ignorance by the sheer force of his dynamic personality and every single word emanated from the granary of his spiritual experience. He symbolized India’s aspirations and vindicated our manhood in the eyes of the world. Pride, a self confidence swelled in the breast of the people and the enthusiasm swept the nation like a wild forest fire. The mental shackles were broken and India was made free spiritually.

And who could be this great personality responsible for all these? No need to guess. It is none other than the Great SRI SWAMI VIVEKANANDA.

My salutations added with humble reverence to this great person.
