Born in Calcutta in 1863.

Contact of Ramakrishna change Namenda's life.

Became world famous at Chicago in 1883.

“jive is Shiva”. “Awake, arise & stop not till the goal is

reached.”

He founded Ramakrishna mission in 1897. Swami

Vivekananda was born Narendranath Datta on 12

January 1863 in Calcutta in a respectable middle-class.

His father, Viswanath Dutta, was an attorney and was a

lover of the arts and literature.

Swami Vivekananda's inspiring personality was well

known both in India & America.

The unknown monk of India suddenly leapt into fame at

Parliament of Religion held in Chicago in 1893.

In the course of short of 39 years of which only 10 were

devoted to public activities.

He gave: gyan yog, bhakti yog, karma yog, raj yog.

On the other hand, Narendra’s mother, Bhubaneshwari

Devi, was a pious, kind-hearted lady, devoted to the Hindu

traditions.

Narendranath had varied interests & wide range of

scholarship in philosophy, history, social sciences, art and

other subjects.

He evinced much interest in spiritual text. Vivekananda

started his education at home, later he joined metropolitan

institution of Ishwarchandra vidyasagar in 1871 and he

passed the entrance examination of presidency college,

Calcutta. His initial beliefs were shaped by Brahmo

concepts, which include belief in a formless God and

deprecation of the worship of idols. Not satisfied with his

knowledge of Philosophy, he wondered if God and religion

could be made a part of one's growing experiences and

deeply internalized. Narendra went about asking

prominent residents of contemporary Calcutta whether they

had come "face to face with God. But could not get answers

which satisfied him
