Swami Vivekananda(On 12th January,2019)
Swami Vivekananda
(On 12th January,2019)
From coldness of mind to warmth
Of Being,
From idleness to ever inspired joy,
From unconsciousness to consciousness,
From Stupor of mind to superconscious self,
From selfishness to selfless service,
Let us be led.
O supreme Mind, The Soul of our souls,
O our Beloved the great,
Swami Vivekananda, let us be awakened.
Let us be centered to look beyond the fetters.
The darkness is deep all around,
The coolness is too much to bear with,
Let your speech declare every heart,
The dove of peace dawn to suffering humanity.
O knowledge divine, the sky of consciousness let you be remembered as Glimpse Eternal.
Walking the way is tiresome without knowing your message of love,
Let you shine again in the morning of our Minds,
In the Night shine as pole star and in the dawn The morning Star,
Let our thoughts be raised to height to touch the Sky,
Let our sleep be broken eternally,
Our consciousness wide open.
Let death be dead to have life of sacrifice,
To live fully totally in the moment,
Let all the palls be shredded from our minds to have a fresh look of The Sunshine,
Let us be centered enough to walk on the way shown by you.

Beautiful tribute I am sure he will be sending BLESSINGS PG to thee ''.He went TO AMERICA and was to make a speech. He couldn't start He was so handsome the Americans gave him a standing ovation come on speak. He gained confidence then he opened his speech with remarks''
ADDED: Swami Vivekananda has foretold his own death, not over 40 years old. At 39 he died while he was meditating in his room and he asked not to be disturbed. Most respectable personality after Sri Ramakrishna. REVIEW by ©Sylvia Frances Chan, Poetess, Evangelist, Critic, Paintress and World Traveler.

I am spellbound by your minute observation about swami Vivekananda and His legacy...thanks a lot dear poetess......very grateful...
(4) ... In the mantra that he received from his guru, Sri Ramakrishna, namely that service to man is service to God (Shiva Jnane Jiva Seva) , he saw the key to a practical synthesis between the deeply rooted religiosity of the Hindus and the necessary socio-economic reforms for the millions of people in India. An excellent detailed poem in honour of the birth of the most important spiritual leader of Hinduism in India: Swami Vivekananda, chief disciple of guru Sri Ramakrishna.
(3) ....He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. These we must never forget. He is the chief-disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Vivekananda had seen with his own eyes how much of the population was immersed in deep poverty and ignorance. see (4)
(2) ...The most important key figure is Swami Vivekananda The awakening of Hinduism in the India of that time. Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated as National Youth Day. He has brought Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. Please read (3)
(1) I cite your last line: Let us be centered enough to walk on the way shown by you. Indeed and HOW? Before that, we ought to know a bit about the historical background of Hinduism. Please (2)
