GREATEST SPIRITUAL LEADER OF INDIA!

Almost every indian knows who swami vivekananda was but very few actually know about his teachings!Most of people think he was another religious leader who taught about god and stuff but these people hardly know about his actual precepts!!

Vivekananda was born in an influential family of a lawyer and was himself highly educated .He studied philosophy and could not find the right answers to his questions in his text book so he approached swami Ramakrisna who could satiate his thirst for knowledge.

Vivekananda later started a monastry nd went on duty tour preaching people the beliefs he held but very few people were interested in listening to him .Only few south indian majaraja were influenced by his words. Rest of the elite class was following western philosophy and attiquets


vivekananda soon realised the reason for this indifference ,since he was just a monk who wandered from place to place his teaching were'nt of much worth fo the elite class .


Later on he got an oppurtunity to deliver a speech in chicago in 1893 and that speech brought him all the reverence he deserved . People from all over the world were astound with his speech and this forced indian masses to belief that indian phisophy has got some substance in it!

Vivekananda advocated in being strong,both physically and mentally . In one of his famous speech he went on to saying that

" i want people of india to have muscles of iron and nerves of steel and if required to throw away bhagvat geeta and acquire strength in feild of sports such as football"


In one of his famous quotes he even ssays that

" it's always a goat which is sacrifised to gods never a lion!"

He abridged the gap between the primitive india and the then contemporary india
Most of the western thinkers admired his convictions.

I believe this man is the greatest spiritual leader india has ever had . He advocated "religion for man" not "man for religion" .

"Religion is not for the hungry"

His undaunted ,unflinching will to stand up against the prevalent customs alleviated many people
suffering from the atrocities inflicted by the caste system !

He will always be remembered as the most outstanding spiritual leader india has ever had


Yea the post was quite different as for the first time i have admired anyone so much....! :-)
