[Poem] - சுவாமி விவேகனந்தர் எழுதிய கவிதை (மொழியாக்கம் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது)


Swami Vivekananda Poem Translated in Tamil

அனைத்தும் ஆகி அன்பாகி
அமைபவன் அவனே அவன்தாளில்
உனதுளம் ஆன்மா உடல் எல்லாம்
 உடனே தருக என் நண்பா

 இவைகள் யாவும் உன்முன்னே
 இருக்கும் அவனின் வடிவங்கள்
இவைகளை விடுத்து வேறெங்கே
இறைவனைத் தேடுகின்றாய் நீ

\மனத்தில் வேற்றுமை இல்லாமல்
மண்ணுல கதனில் இருக்கின்ற
அனைத்தையும் நேசித் திடும் ஒருவன்
ஆண்டவனை அவனைத் தொழுபவனாம்

--விவேகானந்தர்

[Quotes] - Same Nerve Systems Carry Good and Bad - Swami Vivekananda.





We find as a fact that the same nerve systems carry good and bad sensations alike, and when the nerves are injured, neither sensation comes to us. If a certain nerve is paralysed, we do not get the pleasurable feelings that used to come along that wires and at the same time we do not get the painful feelings either. They are never two, but the same.

Swami Vivekananda Birthday 12th Jan 2012

Today we are celebrating World's One of the Great Philosopher and Guru Swami Vivekananda Birthday and National Youth Day.



  • The brave alone do great things, not the cowards. Know once for all, you faithless ones, that I am in the hands of the Lord. So long as I am pure and His servant, not a hair on my head will be touched ... Be brave, be brave! Human beings die but once. My disciples must not be cowards.
  • Liberation means total freedom--freedom from the bondage of good, as well as from the bondage of evil. A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one.
  • We have been low animals once.
    We think they are something different from us. ...
    The worm that crawls under your feet today is a God to be.
  • Look here—we shall die! Bear this in mind always, and then the spirit within will wake up. Then meanness will vanish from you, practicality in work will come, you will get new vigor in mind and body, and those who come in contact with you will also feel that they have really got something uplifting from you.
  • Preach the philosophy, the spiritual part, and let people suit it to their own forms.
  • The calmer we are and the less disturbed our nerves, the more shall we love and the better will our work be.
  • External nature is only internal nature writ large.
            - Swami Vivekananda.

[Swami Vivekananda] - Build up Your Character & Manifest your Real Nature






                                                     If I teach you, therefore, that your nature is evil, that you should go home and sit in sackcloth and ashes and weep your lives out because you took certain false steps, it will not help you, but will weaken you all the more, and I shall be showing you the road to more evil than good. If this room is full of darkness for thousands of years and you come in and begin to weep and wail, "Oh the darkness", will the darkness vanish? Strike a match and light comes in a moment. What good will it do you to think all your lives, "Oh, I have done evil, I have made many mistakes"? It requires no ghost to tell us that. Bring in the light and the evil goes in a moment. Build up your character, and manifest your real nature, the Effulgent, the Resplendent, the Ever-Pure, and call It up in everyone that you see.

[Quotes] - Who Build highways for others with their heart's Blood. - Swami Vivekananda.

       Will such a day come when this life will go for the sake of other's good? The world is not a child's play — and great men are those who build highways for others with their heart's blood. This has been taking place through eternity, that one builds a bridge by laying down his own body and thousands of others cross the river through its help. " Shiva!"

[Quotes] - About Meditation (by Swami Vivekananda)

Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as meditation can. The mind goes on jumping even in deepest sleep. Just those few moments in meditation your brain has almost stopped. … You forget the body. … You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light. This perfect rest we will get in meditation. - Swami Vivekananda.
