Swami Vivekananda(1863-1902)
                                                                                                                                                         Swami Vivekananda was born on 12th January 1863 and died in the year 1902 at the age of 39 years. It is not important how many years one lives but it is important what one delivers during his life. In that  context  Vivekananda  lived  Thirty nine  years of very meaningful life. It is observed that the Great man comes with some mission and goes away as soon it is competed. Swamiji refreshed and propagated the Hindu philosophy through out world during his short life. He educated the whole world regarding Hinduism up to such extent that one can held  head high for Hindu religion in the world. His approach was very practical regarding Modern Science. He was taken to see the highly mechanized cattle slaughter factory in America. Swamiji was asked his opinion about it. He said "We in India convert Human out of Animal but you people kill the Animal."
                                                                                 It was not easy for Vivekananda to attend world religious congress at chicago.  He had no contacts and even money then to travel so far. He was moving all over india to visit religious places meeting people. he also visited and sat on rock to do penance near kanyakumari the last tip of india in south. however on the way he made lots of friends and well wisher who encouraged him to attend religious world congress at america. some people also tried to help him even financially. however one thing was certain that he was total stranger for america then. it is very interesting and pleasant incident on the ship when he reached san francisco. He was standing on the deck along with one of the American who had become friendly with him. All travellers were waving at the people who had come to recieved them. He asked Swamiji who has come to receive you? He replied with smile  'No body and He added 'You are there my friend.' That American became the host of Swamiji then.  This shows that How difficult was the situation for Swamiji in America then. Therefore Vivekananda said once ' The relationship are more important in life, but those relationship are more important which have life in it.'

                                                                             Swamy Vivekananda was the disciple of Ramakrishna Paramhansa on whose name worldwide 'Ramkrishna Mission' was started. Swami Vivekananda had asked so many questions to his guru which were troubling him. Ramkrishna  Paramhansa replied him following manner in order to guide his  disciple  It is very important for all truth seeking people.
1) Live the life without analysing unnecessarily
2) Be cheerful forgetting the problems of life.
3) The good people always suffer because they have to pass through difficult test. The Gold become more pure by heating more and more.
4) The suffering in the life  is a experience of facing the strict teacher.
5) Always count what you have recieved in life instead if what you have lost. It will help to boast up your spirit.
6) It is surprising that people ask in suffering 'why I am?  Instead of asking why I am? when they get happiness.
7) Always face present with self confidence. Be ready to make bright future and do not regret your past. These all makes life  best.
8) You must decide how to live life and should be never afraid of  facing any problem regarding the same.  There is no use of doing prayer to make life happy.
 9) The fruits of your action will make you happy if you feel that your life has become busy because of your activities have cornered you.
                                                        All those things had a deep reflection on the life of Swami Vivekananda.
                                                         Swamy Vivekananda said -
1)Who is loving you do not hate them and who is believing you do not cheat them.
2) If you like me I am in your Heart. If you hate me I am in your Mind.
3) Talk to yourself at least once in a day. Otherwise you may miss a meeting with an excellent person in this world.
4) By study of different religions we find that in essence they are one.


                                                         Thus Swami Vivekananda had done the greatest service to Hinduism after Great Adi Jagadguru Shankaracharya. He also died in his Thirty after completing his Mission.
