Parents – The Silent Pillars Behind Every Success

Image
 By Nitesh Srivastava | New Inspiration Behind every confident step we take in life, there’s a pair of eyes that once stayed awake through our sickness… A pair of hands that held us during our weakest moments… And a pair of hearts that never stopped believing in us—our parents. 🏡 They Don't Say It Often—But They Give Everything   Parents don’t always express their love in words. They express it through sacrifices. Through early mornings and late nights. Through silent tears and untold stories. They may not always understand the world we live in, but they never stop trying. Their love is constant—even when the world turns its back on us. 🙏 They Gave Us More Than Just Life   They gave us values. They taught us how to stand up after falling. They were our first teachers, our first friends, and our biggest cheerleaders—even when we failed. From skipping their dreams to help us live ours, to aging silently while watching us grow—they’ve always put us first. 🌱 As We Grow,...

Swami Vivekananda: The Voice of Modern Indian Spirituality

Swami Vivekananda, originally named Narendranath Datta (also spelled Dutt), was born on 12 January 1863 in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and passed away on 4 July 1902 near the same city. A prominent Hindu spiritual leader and reformer, he sought to bridge Indian spiritual traditions with Western progress and materialism, believing that both could enhance each other. For him, the highest reality was the divine self within, and serving humanity was the noblest goal.

Coming from an upper-middle-class Kayastha family, he was educated in a Western-style university where he studied philosophy, Christianity, and science. These influences shaped his worldview, prompting him to engage in social reform, including women’s education, and fight against child marriage and illiteracy through his association with the Brahmo Samaj. He later became the most renowned disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, who emphasized the unity of all religions.

Vivekananda focused on the universal and humanistic messages of the Vedas, placing service to others above ritualistic practices. He revitalized Hinduism by promoting its practical and spiritual aspects rather than its passive elements. His efforts took him to the West, where he introduced Vedanta philosophy to audiences in the United States and Britain. His speech at the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago earned him global recognition as a powerful orator and representative of Hindu thought.
                  In 1897, he returned to India with a few Western followers and established the Ramakrishna Mission at Belur Math near Kolkata. His vision centered on perfection through service, and he reshaped the ideals of Vedanta for the modern era. Despite living only two years into the 20th century, Vivekananda left a lasting impact on both Eastern and Western thought.
