SWAMI VIVEKANANDA- A LIBERAL SOCIAL REFORMER
SWAMI VIVEKANANDAA LIBERAL SOCIAL REFORMER
Swami Vivekananda was an
extraordinary luminary with gifted wisdom. Although survived only about 40years
of life time, born on 12th January 1863 (as Narendranath Datta, in West Bengal,
India) and died on 4th July 1902, he is recognized at world level as an
unparalleled intellectual and social reformer. He was a perfect liberal
socialist, primarily followed (and though belonged to Hindu faith) having been
guided by his guru Rama Krushna Paramhans, a Saint widely respected, relying on
Vedanta and Yoga, he declared unambiguously that all religions and faiths have
equal rights to coexist respecting each other, that was reaffirmed by his
famous Chicago speech in 1893. He believed in non-violence, but at the same
time, had advocated vehemently that violence has no place in society. He was
far ahead of his time and his postulations on life and society remain relevant
perennially undisputed. Although some, from time to time, make efforts to drag
his legacy, to unfairly make it skewed towards religious fundamentalism, however,
in undiluted and untwisted form, the legacy of Swami Vivekananda and his great
soul remain core to absolute liberal socialism respecting humanity and peaceful
co-existence of all faiths with mutual respect for each other in the society. (
This is a tribute to this great soul on his birth anniversary falling on the
12th day of January and I had written this tribute on January 12,2020 ).
