Answers
Vivekananda was born on the 12th of January 1863 in Calcutta. During his childhood, his name was Narendranath. His father, Vishwanath Dutta, was a renowned advocate of the Supreme Court. Narendra was intelligent from his birth. He was also very brave. Because of his bravery and intelligence, he became the leader of his group of friends.
When he was fourteen years old, the health of his father was declining. To improve his health, his father had to go to Madhya Pradesh. Narendra also went there with him. Here he became acquainted with many learned men who came to visit his father. He was deeply influenced by the religious works.
Two years later, Narendra returned to Raipur. He enrolled in college. He also started learning the religious works in depth. Because of his readings, he had a strong desire to meet God. At that time the Brahmo Samaj activities were carried out vigorously in Bengal. Narendra also became a member of this committee. But even the priests couldn’t quench his thirst for meeting God. Hence, he started wandering here and there in search of the truth. At last, after meeting Ramakrishna Paramhansa, he learned about the mystery of religion and God. His thirst got quenched.
Obtaining permission from Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Narendra enrolled in the graduate program in Art. After earning his B.A., he started studying law, but he had to leave his studies because of the sudden death of his father. His father was ever-giving and he also never cared about the wealth he had, so his family had become very poor. His brothers also left the house. As Narendra was the eldest brother, all the responsibility of nurturing the remaining family fell on his shoulders. He had no money left to feed the family. There were many times when Narendra had not even touched a morsel of food for days on end. He started teaching in order to earn some money. After having earned enough money, he returned to his studies. This time he devoted all of his attention to his studies.
At the same time, Paramhansa was diagnosed with throat cancer and he was seriously ill. When Narendra heard this news, he went to help Paramhansa. Paramhansa was overjoyed to see him. He gave all the miraculous powers he had to Narendra and heaved a sigh of relief. On 16th of August 1886, Ramakrishna Paramhansa died peacefully and happily on his bed.
