SRI RAMAKRISHNA AND SWAMI VIVEKANANDA'S MISSION

摘要

When we come across Swami Vivekananda we feel an inexpressible urge to know him further, understand him more deeply, and assimilate his teachings into our daily lives. We feel that by not doing this our lives appear to be incomplete. Since Swamiji's advent many scholars have written about his multifaceted personality as well as his world mission. It is said that people are benefitted personally, in some way, by coming in contact directly or indirectly with a genius, whether or not they hold that gifted person dear to their hearts. Thus it is not surprising that the study of Swamiji's life and mission has brought about a profound effect on many people in the East and the West. After coming in contact with Swamiji some have felt as if they could catch a glimpse of divinity in their own souls; for others, life took a completely different turn, as their perception of life and the world changed; some sceptical minds were caught off guard with an experience of the mind's peaceful state that they never knew of before, which generated a feeling of faith in religion as well. Without a doubt, these instances prove that Swamiji led many individuals towards certain spiritual truths that would otherwise have remained hidden.
