Vivekananda is one of the most recent phenomenon, spiritual leader who left remarkable legacy for global civilization. With an impeccable will, discretion, courage and adherence to the lasting purpose of igniting the youth towards purpose & impact, Vivekananda is the most impeccable global leaders that made a lasting dent for the generations to come.
Mere mention of Vivekananda asks for building that innate compass which makes one deserving to write few lines about him. It takes time to build that compass and this article aims to assimilate his resounding persona that has not yet unfolded in entirety, however holds immense value for the world. He took most of the astounding sufferings over the course of his youth since he was the one who can take it and yet turn it to upgrade. He showcased how to turn obstacles into opportunities, chaos into creations and pain into progress. He ran the entire wheel of Virtuous Loops in an astounding way and provided nuggets of spirituality at a global pedestal.
When Vivekananda is talked about, there is only essence of spirituality and excellent oratory on the most superficial layers. However, there is much more within perpetual layers that a mere article cannot encompass. Perhaps, Ramakrishna was the spiritual leader who had been close to him and understood him in the most essential way. That may be enough for Vivekananda, however youth and generations still do not have complete essence of what this spiritual legend encompassed.
Born during the initial years of the Industrial age, Vivekananda started winning over his own self from early years of life. History has made it evident that leaders who won over themselves go on to leave lasting legacy for the generations to come. His Siddhis of reading mind of other people, having enlarged stretches without food as a part of spiritual fasting, spiritual celibacy, unchartered stretches of concentration, indomitable courage are some of his far-fetched accomplishments. More importantly, Vivekananda had been winning over himself with his rigorous approaches, toughness regimes and upgrading rituals.
No one can encapsulate what Vivekananda had faced during his youth as well as during his renditions of the most impactful contributions. Just before his historic speech at World Parliament of Congress - Vivekananda had one of the most severe treatments, yet he went on to deliver at the global stage and represent his lasting thoughts for the generations to come. Vivekananda had seen stretches of poverty during his childhood, yet that never curbed him from contributing to the downtrodden and needy. It is still remembered that he went on to give all his clothes and food as alms to the needy even when he himself was in the dire requirement of same during his early childhood. It requires immense servant leadership and empathy for people around to reach this feet. And on the other side, he had cherishing relations with some of the most wealthiest global capitalist, Industrialist and businessman during his youth.
Vivekananda went through two extreme stretches at the same time. His rigorous practises like Celibacy, Spiritual Fasting, Long stretches of concentration and on the other hand he received dire and shocking treatment while propagating his Spirituality essence. Passing through both of these extremes and yet delivering at the global diaspora with an indomitable will without getting deterred is one of the life-time phenomenon.
Vivekananda is one of the nearest spiritual phenomenon who is still not fully absorbed in the essence of youth, whose indepthful life and principles are not embedded and propagated in the deserving way. There are no big budgeted movies, enchanting statues, big buildings, or documentaries in his name that can fully encompass his modern and lasting legacy for the coming generations. Vivekananda is that spiritual leader whose revocation can shift modern spirituality for the youth and transform generations to come. He has his embeddings in the Industrial Revolution, Modern Spirituality, Business, Science and Leadership building. A life that had been filled for upgrading the youth and generations to come still channelizes various leaders around the world.
Can we super-impose his virtuous loops, spiritual prowess, his inputs on mind-body-soul upgrade, knowledge across political, business, industrial and entrepreneurial ecosystem. What will be the resultant outputs of the same ? How will youth and generations get impacted by this strategic approach. This is quite required since it will showcase how we can still propagate a legend's life and his worthy contributions for the wider societal interests. That will be an impeccable flavor of moral conscience and showing unbiased adherence to the collective growth for the generations to come. Yes, mere sheeps and contractive individuals who are dwelled in playing gimmicks & games cannot do that - it is not even expected out of them. It will take few tough-minded, substantial and determined individuals to shift the entire macrocosm for the collective upgrade. The biggest addiction is not that of drugs or smoking. It is that of mind that is dwelled in gimmicks and kiddish games which propagates the same, the one whose antenna is still far from absorbing upgrade regimes, real essence of spirituality and greatness at the core. The ones who are dwelled in substantial progress and adherence for growth of everyone around will only be able to enable this leap. And that empowerment is now bound to happen.
Only greatness can comprehend greatness. Ramkrishna Paramhansa had been aware of the same, it would be disrespect to this legendary persona to claim that one can comprehend insurmountable greatness that he possessed.
"In one word, this ideal is that you are divine."
