IT IS FEAR THAT IS THE CAUSE OF OUR WOES, AND IT IS FEARLESSNESS THAT BRINGS HEAVEN EVEN IN A MOMENT.


"Arise, awake and stop not till the desired end is reached." Be not afraid, for all great power, throughout the history of humanity, has been with he people. From out of their ranks have come all the greatest geniuses of the world, and history can only repeat itself. Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvellous work. The moment you fear, you are nobody. It is fear that is the great cause of misery in the world. It is fear that is the greatest of all superstitions. It is fear that is the cause of our woes, and it is fearlessness that brings heaven even in a moment. Therefore, "Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached."

  1. I have been a great fan of SRI RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA and SWAMI VIVEKANANDA from my school days 1975 when I studied at Ramakrishna Mission High School, T.Nagar.
    I have read the complete works of Swami Vivekananda almost three times but still there are certain chapters that I do not understand. From last year I have been reading again many of his works and almost more than 50 books written about him, his writings, and speeches.
    Through these I revisited this great Saint who presented the wisdom of Vedanta philosophy and the spiritual science of Sanathana Dharma to the Western world in a very rational way.
    I would like to share part of what I understood and enjoyed through this small write up covering his teachings, views, observations etc, I would prefer to call them his wisdom, on a wide variety of topics from love to education to Shraddha [ devasam].
    This is my humble contribution to the 150th year of this great Saint.
