Sarver paladar Krishnan said swami vivekananda through his message of enunciation service and discipline had given india the lesson of gratitude and suffering courage in despair in the evening there was a program in the newly built arama Krishna Institute of culture.
the 19th century in India was a turning point in her long history it was a challenge in the inner world of values even more than in the outer it was a period of flesh and confusion when the fate of the nation hanging in the balance would India perish among the many figures that rose to meet
that challenge and set the balance right none was more vehement none more effective than Swami Vivekananda the greatest of them all the spirit were the widest wings a grateful nation gave its full and frank verdict of veneration for the saint and the Savior so also the risk for door India was the apparent theme of all or most of his neighbor Vivekananda's vision easily overflew or
narrow national and sectarian boundaries a truly universal men his vision applies equally well to the human situation and if the crisis of civilization through which we are passing has to end this may be the only way out the way of the spirit and the way of Harmony it is only natural to wish to know something of this noble and remarkable career profound and paradoxical modern and ageless of a Rishi and a revolutionary one Souls ambition lifted up the race he drew energies the transmute and age he made great dreams a mold becoming things and gassed his deeds like bronze to felt the years this is pumping South India where Swami Vivekananda set foot on the Indian soil after his triumphant tour of the West this on the 26th of January 1897 a vast cloud
waiting patiently to welcome the national heroes all of them waiting to pay their homage to Swami Vivekananda the Pepsi of thing the first mighty voice of awakened India.
