About Swami Vivekananda:

Swami Vivekananda was born Narendranath Datta on January 12, 1863, in Kolkata, West Bengal.
Swami Vivekananda was the chief disciple of 19th-century mystic and yogi Ramakrishna Paramhansa.
He founded the Ramakrishna Math, a monastic order based on his guru’s teachings in Kolkata and a worldwide spiritual movement known as the Ramakrishna
Mission-based on the ancient Hindu philosophy of Vedanta.
Vivekananda is credited with contributing to a revival of modern Hinduism and inspiring nationalist consciousness during colonial rule.
But he is best known for his famous 1893 speech where he introduced Hinduism to the Western world in Chicago.
Swami Vivekananda died on July 4, 1902.

“Arise awake and stop not until the goal is achieved.”

“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”

“In a day, when you don’t come across any problems – you can be sure that you are traveling in a wrong path.”

“The greatest sin is to think yourself weak.”

“Take risks in your life. If you win, you can lead, if you lose, you can guide.”

“The reason for every misunderstanding is that we see the people as we are but not as they are.”

“All power is within you; you can do anything and everything.”
