RELIGION AS THE PRIME CONCERN IN INDIA : SWAMI

VIVEKANANDA

 

_________

What is the secret of this strength ? Believe of when

I say, after my experience of the world, it is here.

To the other nations of the world, religion is one of

the many occupations of the world, and among all there

various occupations of life, there is perhaps a bit of

religion. But here in India religion is the one and

the only occupation in life. This has been the case

with up for the past several millenniums, and as a

consequence our culture and national genius have

derived a special cent or direction in which alone

they are bound to travel now and in the future also.

Each race, by virtue of its part, has such a bent, a

peculiar raison detre, and a particular mission to

fulfil in the life of the world. Political greatness

or military power has never been mission of our race.

But there has been the other mission given to us,

which is to conserve, to preserve, to accumulate, as

it were,into a dynamo, all the spiritual energy of the

race, and that concentrated energy is to soup forth in

deluge on the world, whenever circumstances are

propitious. Let the Persian, or the Greek, the Romans

or the Arab, or the Englishman march his battallions,

conquer the world, and link the different nations

together,and the philosophy and spirituality of India

is ever ready to flow along the newly made channels

into the veins of the nations of the world. The Hindus

calm brain must soup out its own quota to the

sum-total of human progress. Indias gift to the world

is the light spiritual.

Namaste,

 

That is very true what Swami Vivekananda

says.

 

But that was a hundred years ago.

 

The Western world has had the experience

of hearing his words in Chicago at the

turn of the 20th century.

 

From there it has grown. Thanks to

Swami Vivekananda and others like him,

the west has become more spiritual than

in his day.

 

Although, there were Westerners,

during Swamiji's time, who were very spiritual,

following perhaps the somewhat 'limited' paths of

Theosophy and other such schools of oriental thought.

 

Vedanta is rapidly catching on, with the help of

modern technology, especially the Internet.

 

Hope springs eternal.
