On Swamiji''s 151st birth anniversary

Swami Vivekananda, the name itself is fiery and electrifies us when we read him or see his photo. The same effect was felt by all great men like Gandhiji or even foreigners like Romain Rolland. Britishers could not establish link but every revolutionary they arrested had a copy of Vivekananda's speeches or thoughts. Such was the impact of this man who was aptly named as cyclonic Hindu monk. He awakened us about the glory of our motherland and the dire straits in which it was languishing due to foreign rule. To achieve greatness he clearly proclaimed that India should be politically freed first. To free our motherland he exhorted his countrymen to have muscles of iron and nerves of steel and courage which could see death in it's face and still have unshakeable faith. Although he lived for 39 years and only 2-3 years in India after achieving fame as Swami Vivekananda he shook us to our core due to his tremendous passion for country and Hinduism. We should pray to him to get an iota of his passion for the country on his 151st birth anniversary.
