IMPACT OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA ON INDIAN POLITICS

Abstract [English]

•Particular life
Swami Vivekananda was born on January 12, 1863, in Kolkata (also Calcutta), India. His birth name was Narendranath Datta. He came from a well-respected Bengali family with a strong cultural background. His father, Vishwanath Datta, was an enlightened lawyer, and his mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was a deeply religious woman. Vivekananda grew up in an environment that encouraged learning and spirituality.
From a young age, Vivekananda showed an interest in philosophy, spirituality, and different aspects of knowledge. He was known for his inquisitive nature, often asking deep questions about life and existence. His family supported his curiosity, and he received his early education at various schools in Kolkata. He attended the prestigious Presidency College, where he studied a wide range of subjects including philosophy, history, literature, and Western logic. His academic excellence and intellectual abilities were evident early on, and he was admired by his teachers and peers.
Despite his academic success, Vivekananda felt that traditional education did not satisfy his deeper questions about life. He wanted to understand the true nature of the soul, God, and the universe. His search for spiritual knowledge led him to meet Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, a great saint and spiritual teacher. Under Ramakrishna’s guidance, Vivekananda began to focus on his spiritual development and eventually became one of his most devoted disciples. This was a turning point in his life, as he decided to dedicate himself to spirituality and service to humanity.
Vivekananda’s spiritual journey took him to various parts of India. He traveled extensively to learn from different teachers and to understand the problems facing Indian society. He also spent a lot of time in meditation and prayer, seeking inner peace and wisdom.
