Dear Friends – Warm Greeting to all of you!
Thank you for gathering today in the speech giving ceremony. I, Ayushman Khanna – your host, have prepared a speech on the life of Swami Vivekananda. Hope you all will enjoy listening to me as much as I will in speaking about this great personality. Those who already know about him can also give their contributions to my speech and share valuable information, but those who don’t know much about him will be able to gain a good insight about his life and pursuits.
Swami Vivekananda, ladies and gentlemen, was born on January 12 in the year 1863 and died in the year 1902. He was a great follower of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa. At the time of his birth, he was christened as Narendranath Datta and laid down the foundation of Ramakrishna Mission. He was the one behind bringing Hindu philosophies, such as Vedanta and Yoga, to the forefront of America and Europe. He worked towards according Hinduism a status of world religion towards the end of the 19th century. He is considered a principal force in the rebirth of Hinduism in contemporary India. He is possibly best considered for his inspirational speech on “Sisters and Brothers of America”. It is only after this that he was able to introduce Hinduism at the Parliament of the World’s Religions at Chicago in the year 1893.
I am sure that you would be curious in knowing about his childhood too. Well, he was born in Calcutta at Shimla Pally. Initially, his name was Narendranath Datta. He hailed from a humble background where his father was an attorney in the high court of Calcutta. His mother’s name was Bhuvaneshwari Devi. When Narendranath grew up, he imbibed the traits of both his father and mother. From his father he imbibed rational thinking and from his mother, it was religious temperament and greatly the power of self-control. At the time when he was young, Narendra became an expert in meditation and could enter into a Samadhi state quite easily. Once he observed a light after falling asleep. He also saw a vision of Buddha when he meditated. Right from his early days, he had a keen interest in the wandering monks and ascetics. He also loved playing games and doing mischief.
However, he also displayed great leadership qualities. The name of his childhood companion was Kamal Reddy. When he was young, he came in touch with Brahmo Samaj and eventually met Sri Ramakrishna. It was Sri Ramakrishna who took charge of him and after his death; it was Narendranath who left his house. He changed his name to ogivami Vivekananda and started living in Boranagar Monastery along with his other disciple friends. Later on, he began his tour across India and wandered from one place to the other till the time he reached Trivandum and finally at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago. There, he addressed a speech and brought worldwide acclaim to Hinduism.
He was a great soul who worked for the upliftment of mankind and nation at large.
