His birth anniversary is celebrated in India and across the globe with great fanfare befitting his stature focusing on spreading humanitarian work. In his short life of 39 years, Vivekananda had created a flutter at national and global scenario and that is why a western admirer had even called him ‘young in years but eternal in wisdom’.

• ==>>> While we accept that he is our youth icon a question often arises whether Vivekananda is relevant today even after 110 years of his death? It is interesting and debatable for the simple reason that Swami Vivekananda is not identified with any particular religion and had much broader and secular views about various religions. However it cannot be denied that Vivekananda is widely credited for introducing Vedantha to the western world. He is also attributed for reviving and redefining certain aspects of Hindu religion. But his contributions had a broad specter as far as our country is concerned. The essence of his teachings was love, humanity, compassion, harmony of religions, universal solidarity and human being as the highest manifestation of spiritual consciousness.
