Significance of Swami Vivekananda Birthday

Swami Vivekananda Jayanti

Swami Vivekananda inspired millions of youths throughout the world with his teachings. His prominence was felt at a convention in Chicago in the year 1893 where he was a participant and speaker. His famous speech on India's spirituality-driven culture and robust history drew praises from the Americans, especially from the intellectual circle.

His strong personality, vast knowledge in science and Vedanta, and empathy towards human and animal life, made him the torchbearer of peace and humanity.

It should also be noted that Vivekananda was strictly against any form of superstitious beliefs and condemned any kind of violence. His approach to religion was an amalgamation of scientific studies and Vedanta. He was also a devoted disciple of Ramakrishna, a Hindu mystic and saint.

Like every year, Swami Vivekananda's birthday will be celebrated on 12 January 2025. Vivekananda's teachings continue to inspire millions of people across the world. Though predominantly a Hindu saint, Vivekananda always put humanity above everything else.
