[ramakrishna] Sweet

[Guest guest]

namaste,

i think i have read in a book that when the news of swamiji's success at the

world parliament of religions reached his guru bhai's, they were not very sure

of the identity of the person as they knew Swamiji with the name Swami

Vividishananda. Probably it was at the request of Maharaj of Khetri, Ajit Singh,

that swamiji stuck to the name Swami Vivekananda, before leaving for America. I

do not know, Who actually coined the word vivekananda. I think he also

introduced himself as swami Satchidanada when he was wandering as a monk. He

stayed with Tilak during this time, but did not introduce himself with the name

Vivekananda. That is why, Tilak only recognised swamiji after seeing him, when

the latter returned from America.

I also do not know which of these three names he took when he formally took

monastic vows after performing Viraja homa.

regards,

Vikas

Dear Sir,

 

Your effort in spreading out the teachings of Swami Vivekananda is quite

commendable.

 

We are confused as to who was behind the very name

of " Swami Vivekananda " . Did he himself coin the name?

 

Ours is an institution for kids of 3 to 9. Class IV students

have to write a piece on Swamiji. They will be benefited with the reply.
