Essay on Swami Vivekananda:
Swami Vivekananda was born on 12 January 1863. His household name was Narendra Dutt. His father Shri Vishwanath Dutt believed in Western civilization. He also wanted to teach English to his son Narendra to run in the manner of Western civilization. Narendra's intellect was very sharp since childhood and the longing to attain the divine was also strong. For this he first went to the Brahmo Samaj, but his mind was not satisfied there.
Shri Vishwanath Dutt died in 1884. The burden of the house fell on Narendra. The condition of the house was very bad. Kushal was such that Narendra was not married. Narendra was a great guest-servant even in extreme poverty. Being hungry, he used to provide food to the guest, would himself stay wet all night in the rain outside, and put the guest to sleep on his bed.
