12 January:
12 Jan 1863 : Vireshwar - Narendranath was born to Bhuvaneshwari - Vishwanath Datta in Kolkata
12 Jan 1895 : Swamiji write to Alasinga Perumal from U.S. : An
organisation that will teach the Hindus mutual help and appreciation is
absolutely necessary....What I now want is a band of fiery missionaries.
We must have a College in Madras to teach comparative religions,
Sanskrit, the different schools of
Vedanta, and some European languages; we must have a press, and papers
printed in English and in the vernaculars. When this is done, then I
shall know that you have accomplished something.....
12 Jan 1896 :
Lecture on the world mission of Swamiji's life : " The Ideal of a
Universal Religion" at 3:30 pm at Hardman Hall, 19th St and 5th Ave.NY -
Every great & recognised religion has 3 parts - Philosophy,
Mythology, Rituals ...Religion is realisation; not talk, nor doctrine,
nor theories, however beautiful they may be. It is being and becoming,
not hearing or acknowledging; it is the whole soul becoming changed into
what it believes. That is religion.
