From the Secretarys Desk

Dear friends, members of Vidyalaya, and students, Warm greetings for the New Year! This year will be a significant and a memorable year for all of us since we will all be paying our tribute to Swami Vivekananda by way of observing various celebrations in commemoration of his 150th Birth Anniversary celebrations (1863-2013). As you all might know, the occasion is being celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm the world over. It is also an opportune moment, for our youth especially, to realize that Swami Vivekananda fittingly deserves to be our national ideal. For, there is not a great leader who has not drawn inspiration from him. Mahatma Gandhiji said, I have gone through his works very thoroughly, and after having gone through them, the love that I had for my country became a thousand-fold. Jawaharlal Nehru said, Where can you find a man like him? Study what he wrote, and learn from his teachings, for if you do, you will gain immense strength. Take advantage of the fountain of wisdom, of spirit, and of fire that flowed through Vivekananda! Subash Chandra Bose said, Swamiji harmonized the East and the West, religion and science, past and present. Rabindranath Tagore said, If you want to know India, study Vivekananda. And Sri C. Rajagopalachari summed up thus: We therefore owe everything to Swami Vivekananda. May his faith, his courage and his wisdom ever inspire us so that we may keep safe the treasure we have received from him. Our activities this year will therefore be centred on Swami Vivekanandas 150th Birth Anniversary. And as a fitting tribute to him, the Vivekananda Ratham will be flagged off from the Vidyalaya in April 2013. Besides recalling Swami Vivekanandas wandering days in India and especially in Tamil Nadu, the Ratham will spread across his life and message and awaken the spirit of the masses. After touring for around 300 days, the Ratham will be received at Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, in January 2014. A tentative schedule of the Vivekananda Ratha Yatra through the various towns and villages of Tamil Nadu is given in page no. 28 of this newsletter and the final schedule will be uploaded on our website shortly. So, we look forward to your active involvement in the Ratha Yatra celebration, wherever you are. Thanks to the powerful and inspiring ideas of Swami Vivekananda, the Vidyalaya has continued to provide man-making education curricular education integrated with values and discipline to around 7000 students every year, as is evident from the following pages of the newsletter.

News from abroad on Swami Vivekanandas 150th Birth Anniversary Celebrations

Swami Vivekananda said, My Master used to say: Religion can be given and taken more tangibly, more really than anything else in the world. The second idea that I learnt from my Master, and which is perhaps the most vital, is the wonderful truth that the religions of the world are not contradictory or antagonistic. They are but various phases of one eternal religion. The message of harmony of religions practiced by Sri Ramakrishna and advocated by Swami Vivekananda has today cut across geographical and religious barriers and received universal acceptance. It is therefore no wonder that Swami Vivekanandas 150th Birth Anniversary is being celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm not just in India but the world over. Here are some recent news from abroad about the celebrations. Year-long celebrations in Bangladesh The Inaugural Function of the year-long BangladeshIndia Joint Celebration of the 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda was organized by Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, Dhaka, Bangladesh, in the main auditorium of Bangladesh National Museum on 12 January 2013. The Chief Guest H.E. Dr. Dipu Moni, Hon. Minister for Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh, declared open the inauguration of the year-long celebration and H.E. Mr. Pankaj Sharan, Hon. High Commissioner of India in Bangladesh, and Srimat Swami Balabhadranandaji Maharaj, Asst. Secretary of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math, were present as Honourable Guests. Swami Ameyanandaji Maharaj, Adhyaksha, Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, Dhaka, Bangladesh, presided over the function. Monks, dignitaries, representatives of Ramakrishna Ashramas and Vivekananda Shiksha Sangskriti Parishads from all over the country attended the celebration. Celebrations in Nepal At a function organized to commemorate the 150 birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda in Nepal, the Nepalese President praised Swami Vivekananda for his contribution towards the upliftment of the society. A day-long programme was organised to mark the occasion. President Ram Baran Yadav, who was the chief guest said, Vivekananda was a humanitarian, a visionary and spiritual teacher who also worked for the upliftment of women in the society. Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Sri Jayanta Prasad, said Vivekananda became the bridge between the East and the West after delivering his famous speech in the World Parliament of Religions held in Chicago, USA, in 1893. Swami Gauranganada, Ramakrishna Ashram, Nepal, was present on this occasion. Devotional songs and bhajans were presented and the famous Chicago speech of Swami Vivekananda was also recited. Incidentally, the Ramakrishna Ashram, Nepal, established in April last year, has been conducting various programmes including health, education and rural development in the country.

there was a lot of enthusiasm especially from the younger generation. It is now proposed to celebrate the occasion as an annual affair. Reacting on the brewing tension between India and Pakistan, one participant said, Our aim is to spread the message of peace. News from the US (An extract from an article by Philip Goldberg, an Interfaith Minister, Spiritual Coach, Public Speaker, and author of American Veda: How Indian Spirituality Changed the West) Visitors exiting the Art Institute of Chicago on Michigan Avenue are often perplexed by the street sign that reads Swami Vivekananda Way. What is it doing there? Who is this swami, and why does he deserve an honorary street name like Oprah Winfrey, Hugh Hefner and other Chicago legends? Most Americans would not have a clue, but interfaith activists do, and Hindus do, and a great many yoga practitioners and students of Eastern philosophy do, and everyone in India certainly does. And this year, millions more will learn why Vivekananda remains a revered figure more than a century after his passing. January 12th was the 150th anniversary of his birth, and celebrations and tributes will be held all year throughout India and much of the West.
Celebrations in Pakistan
The Indo-Pak tension was no dampener for the Hindus in Pakistan who celebrated the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda with cultural programmes and religious quiz competitions. The President of Pakistan Hindu Seva Welfare Trust The leading disciple of the legendary 19th century said that a function at Radha Krishna temple, Steel saint, Sri Ramakrishna, Vivekananda came to the U.S. Town, about 60km from Karachi, was held to mark in 1893 for the Parliament of the Worlds Religions, the occasion. He also added that there are very few a 17-day festival in the midst of a huge worlds fair Hindus in Pakistan who know about the legendary called the Columbian Exposition. He was an exotic spiritual leader and hence they decided to celebrate sight in his orange robes and turban; very few his birth anniversary to generate awareness. Detailed Americans had even met a Jew or a Muslim at the lectures on the life and teachings of Vivekananda time, much less a Hindu monk. Against all odds, the were delivered and a quiz competition was held. It swami became an instant sensation, not as some was noted that this was first of its kind programme carnival attraction but as a fresh, erudite voice that ever held in Pakistan on Swami Vivekananda and spoke with authority, in impeccable English, about Inauguration of Year-long Celebrations in Bangladesh

his own tradition, religious harmony and the universal truths at the unseen depths of all religions. Open-minded, rational, spiritual seekers found his message and his demeanor irresistible. He was a bold and talented figure shattering widespread misconceptions and biases. He became such a superstar that extra talks had to be scheduled for him to accommodate the crowds that flooded the amphitheater in the building that would later become the Art Institute. Hence, the location of Swami Vivekananda Way. In America, Vivekanandas most enduring impact may be the organization he created to perpetuate his work. The Vedanta Society, which eventually established centers in most major U.S. cities, was the place for seekers interested in Hinduism, Indian philosophy, and yogic meditation in the early part of the 20th century. Through its publications and the swamis who came from India to run the centers, it was the leading voice for what the title of one of its widely read anthologies called Vedanta for the Western World.

That 1893 gathering of religious leaders would probably not even be remembered if the token Hindu hadnt ignited such a fervent response. Instead, it launched the modern interfaith movement and catalyzed an East-to-West transmission that has reshaped Americas spiritual landscape. For those reasons and more, you will be hearing about Swami Vivekananda a great deal in the coming year, and so will people 150 years from now.
Vivekananda relevant forever, says Hon. President of India Sri Pranab Mukherjee
(An extract from a press report on a function held at Swami Vivekanandas ancestral house in Kolkata) It is impossible not to feel overwhelmed while sitting in the courtyard of the ancestral house of Swami Vivekananda here (Kolkata). Atop this two-storey building in north city, a century and half ago was born a man whose contributions to humanity are yet to be clearly understood. It is in a room in this house that the reformer defied the social dogmas of those times. It is from this house that the child Naren (Vivekanandas pre-monastic name) one day gifted away to the poor (who gathered under his window sill) all objects of daily use kept in a room. It is in this very courtyard that he played a game of kings with his friends. Born to lead, he was always placed on the throne by his peers, who were his ready subjects. The President, the Governor, the Prasar Bharati CEO and senior monks of the Ramakrishna Order had gathered there to pay homage to him. Mr. Mukherjee said Vivekananda would continue to be relevant as long as civilisation continued. He was relevant then, now and will continue to be relevant. Pointing out that one of his greatest contributions was to transform a society which had lost selfconfidence totally, the President said 1860-70 was a momentous decade for India, with the births of Rabindranath Tagore (1861), Vivekananda (1863) and Mahatma Gandhi (1869). I had a desire to be on this sacred soil. I feel blessed to be able to pay my homage to a great visionary and great humanist, the President said. Swami Smarananandaji, Vice-President, Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, said the sesquicentennial celebrations should be an occasion for spreading Vivekanandas ideals. We have to see how his ideals on education and the uplift of women can be fulfilled. Swami Prabhanandaji, another Vice-President, said while India had made progress, Vivekanandas ideals had to be followed for tackling the several negative aspects of growth.
