Swami Vivekananda

on the 150th birth anniversary of "The Hindu monk" Swami Vivekananda i hereby type few lines as said by the immortal soul on earth who is considered as the youth icon still today. His teachings have invigorated many, made on learn to rise from failures, to overcome possible obstacles, focus on the goal, to be devoted to one's task and many more unmatched words of thought.
i hereby take a bow before this great men on this special day to keep his thoughts alive within the surrounding souls with few priceless words as said by him............


"A voice is coming unto us, gentle, firm and yet unmistakable in its utterances, and is gaining volume as days pass by, and behold, the sleeper is awakening ! Like a breeze from the Himalayas , it is bringing life into the almost dead bones and muscles, the lethargy is passing away, and only the blind cannot see, or the perverted will not see, that she is awakening, this motherland of ours, from her deep long sleep. None can resist her any more; never us she going to sleep any more; no outward powers can hold her back any more; for the infinite giant is rising to her feet.




Rig-Veda says, " Be thou all of one mind, be thou all of one thought". .... Being of one mind is the secret of the society. .... That is the secret - accumulation of will-power, co-ordination, bringing them all, as it were, into one focus.


My faith is the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem, like lions. I have formulated the idea and have given my life to it. If i do not achieve success, some better one will come after me to work it out, and i shall be content to struggle.
Let us all work hard, my brethren; this is no time to sleep. Do not figure out big plans at first, but beging slowly, feel your ground, and proceed. Up, up, the long night is passing, the day is approaching, the wave has risen, nothing will be able to resist its tidal fury.........."
