“What our country now wants are muscles of iron and nerves of steel, gigantic will which nothing can resist, which can penetrate into the mysteries and the secrets of the universe and will accomplish their purpose in any fashion, even it meant going down to the bottom of the ocean and meeting death face to face.”
- Swami Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda, the foremost disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was the first Hindu missionary in modern times to go abroad and re-enunciate to the world, the message of the universal religion – Sanatana Dharma, an inclusive message which denounced no religion and rejected none. Swami Vivekananda was a staunch patriot, nation-builder, social scientist and a master organizer. He was the first to set in motion and ignite the forces of national revival and put in process the re-construction of the country, which was demoralized and whose energies were scattered by the alien rule. He laid the foundation for the regeneration of the nation by making it aware of its soul, Hindu Dharma.
Intensive preparations are afoot throughout the length and breadth of our country to celebrate the 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda from January 12, 2013 to January 12, 2014. Different organisations and also Government are planning big celebrations.
People of Bharat have decided to join together and celebrate the great occasion. Today when the nation is at the crossroads, these celebrations present the most potent opportunity to rid the nation of its spiritual, intellectual, social, political and national lethargy and confusion.
Important social leaders, thinkers, admirers of Swami Vivekananda along with experienced volunteers of many service organisations and youth representatives have come together to form the "Working Committee" at the national level and 39 at regional level. These committees have started contacting eminent intellectuals, youth icons, social and spiritual thought leaders, achievers in scientific, economic, administrative fields and many others to form "Swami Vivekananda Sardh Shati Samaroh Samiti" or "Swami Vivekananda 150th Birth Anniversary Celebration Committee" both at National and the state levels.
