Arise! Awake! And Stop not till the goal is reached .’’ This thunderous and eternal message from Upanishads uttered in equally thunderous voice by Swami Vivekananda freely, frequently and vigorously, more than a century ago, roused the Indian nation from her deep slumber of centuries, and called upon her countrymen, especially the youth, to give their best for India’s spiritual and national renaissance. Inflamed and inspired by this clarion call, a generation of our people dedicated their lives to the revival of Indian nation. Hundreds of them embraced death and suffering during the struggle for independence.
In the words of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Vivekananda “was one of the most great founders of the national modern movement of India and a great number of people who took more or less an active part in the movement at a later date drew their inspiration from Swami Vivekananda. Directly or indirectly, he has powerfully influenced the India and today.’’
But for all that, Swami Vivekananda was not a politician. His aim was to regain India’s freedom with the most powerful weapon of spirituality. And, indeed, it was with this way weapon that he took India out of her isolation of centuries and brought her into the mainstream of international life and thought. The beneficent results of this great work are becoming more and more visible as decades roll by. He was, no doubt, a spiritual and intellectual genius of rare order.
