The Ramakrishna’s teachings
The visits to pilgrim centers,
The Eastern-Western culture,
All shaped Narendra’s basic nature.
...
Starting from the North
Up to the tail end of the South,
Narendra took a study tour
Of different places all over.
...
Swamiji had arrived
At the India’s tail end,
Cape Comorin by name,
Kanyakumari, by other name
...
During his wanderings
In the vicinity of Himalayas,
A Tibetan family kept
Swamiji as their guest.
...
At first, Guru Ramakrishna
Allowed Disciple Narendra
To have his own convictions
And free talks on religions.
...
The British rule in India brought
A change in the curriculum taught,
For the education of Indians
On aggressive western patterns.
...
About Samadhi Buddha said,
“My mind is released from:
The defilement of earthly existence,
...
The king said, "Bring her here."
Before him the guard led her.
The king then asked her
"What for you're here? "
...
A song not for the Lord,
Or a dance against God,
The Saint hated to hear
Or see anytime, anywhere.
...
Never was it a smooth life,
For Louise, as a housewife,
With her immature children
And husband, unhelpful one.
