SWAMI VIVEKANANDA'S inspiring personality was well known both in India and in America during the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth. Vivekananda is regarded as the patriot saint of modern India and an inspirer of her dormant national consciousness. A spiritual genius of commanding intellect and power, Vivekananda crammed immense labor and achievement into his short life, 1863-1902. He inspires us in our endeavour to make India a better place, by helping the young minds of the country find their true potential.
