The Society for Positive Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies (SPPIS) Haryana
and Centre for Positive Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies (CPPIS), Pehowa
(Kurukshetra) convey best wishes on the occasion of 150th birth anniversary of
Swami Vivekananda Swami Vivekananda and his birthday also considered as
National Youth Day.
Swami Vivekananda (January 12, 1863 - July 4, 1902) is considered as one of the
most influential spiritual educationist and thinker of India. He was disciple of
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and was the founder of Ramakrishna Math and
Ramakrishna Mission. He is considered by many as an icon for his fearless courage,
his positive exhortations to the youth, his broad outlook to social problems, and
countless lectures and discourses on Vedanta philosophy. For him, “Education is not
the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riots there,
undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making,
assimilation of ideas.” It is rightly said that, “The Swami's mission was both national
and international. A lover of mankind, he strove to promote peace and human
brotherhood on the spiritual foundation of the Vedantic Oneness of existence. A
mystic of the highest order, Vivekananda had a direct and intuitive experience of
Reality. He derived his ideas from that unfailing source of wisdom and often
presented them in the soul stirring language of poetry.” For example:
“All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction.
Love is therefore the only law of life.
He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying.
Therefore love for love's sake,
because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.”
