Dr.T.V.Rao MD asked:
The human life continues to be a struggle to live and prosper. In spite of several difficulties, human race and humanity survives and runs the world. In the teachings of Bhagavat Gita one sees it as a mystery or one speaks of it or hears of it as a mystery, but no one knows (Gita 1;29) stands true to happenings in the world. India is a land of culture, great heritage and enlightment. The history has shown that there are few people who come in near to the sufferings of human race. It is the unforgettable, Vivekananda. Swami is a source of great inspiration. His teachings are more important today than yesteryears as the changing responses to the present day circumstances, when the ideology of religion is totally misunderstood. Swamiji was an extraordinary creation of almighty, inherited his strength from Sri Ramakrishna. Vivekananda wished to be alone, never identified with any cult, and changed his name several times to avoid identity and followers. However he was named to be Vivekananda a little before his departure to America in May 1847 by Raja Ajit Singh of Ketri. Many believed Vivekananda had utmost potential to spread the message of India’s strength veiled with poverty of masses. He has told the West that Atma (force which rules everyone) is same in all, ruled by almighty. There is neither ruler nor subjects. Many Socialistic philosophies of the Europe have never equaled Swami’s teachings, but only created conflicts on capitalism and unrest of masses. With a huge population of millions, India survives as a peace loving nation with the teachings of Gita and Vivekananda”s ideology. Swamiji believed that we create our destiny, few people are lucky to have biographies written but words of swamiji’s teachings are a living biography which continues with saga of humanity. Swamiji’s extraordinary potentials are real gift of Sri Ramakrishna, who never influenced him with dogmatic ideas but only transformed with simple and honest living. His travel to the West was an explosion of Atom of Hinduism to the several free thinkers. His message was simple that Hinduism believes in wiping the tears of suffering humanity than creating followers and increase the masses of religious believers of their sect. He influenced so many in the West to accept that all religions lead us to same God and how you accept the truth lies with you. He has voiced his concern for poor and deprived. Today we progressed to mix God with religion, for exploitation and ultimately for our political ends. The greatest concern of the 21st century is growing intolerance to other religions forgetting the God as almighty who controls everyone. The great question how long this existing strife continues in India a question which will answered in the complete works of Vivekananda.
Vivekananda has become an embodiment of the East and West. The words of the Romain Rolland that Vivekananda embraced all the paths of spirit and four yoga’s in their entirely, renunciation and service, arts and science, religion and action from the most spiritual to the most practical, and proved that he was the personification of harmony of all human energy. The most important words true to his compassion to all humans, is expressed as each soul is potentially divine. The words of Rabindra Nath Tagore; “if you want to understand India study Vivekananda, in him everything is positive nothing negative.” Passing through turbulent waters in Kanyakumari, he prayed to his master Sri Ramakrishna, and mother Sharada Devi and consecrating to the service of outcast, starving, oppressed humans (Narayana’s). He has expressed that religion without concern for the poor and sufferings was much dry straw. At Kanyakumari Swami became the patriot and prophet in one. Propagated the message “TRUTH IS MY GOD, THE UNIVERSE IS MY COUNTRY”. I believe in GOD and I believe in MAN I believe in going even to hell to save others.
Today India is an emerging nation with human problems in new dimension and least concern for co-humans. The practice of Swami Vivekananda can change many hearts and bring light co humans. The spirit of VIVEKANANDA lives like a fire that has been burning for more than 100 years.
