A Great Coachman
1. A little boy jumped out of the coach. He ran to his mother. He pointed to the coachman and said, “Mother, I want to be a coachman like him. How nice it is to drive a coach!”
2. His mother smiled, and wisely said, “Naren, if you want to be a coachman, you can. But you should be a coachman like Krishna who guided Arjuna and showed the path to the innocent people of the universe”. Little Naren could not understand his mother’s words quite clearly. Later on, he became what his mother wished for. Narendra became famous as Swami Vivekananda.
3. Narendra was born on 12th of January 1863. His parents were Vishwanath Dutta and Bhuvaneshwari Devi. They considered the child was a gift from Lord Veereshwara. So they named the child Veereshwara. Later they gave him the name Narendranath Dutta. He was sent to school at the age of six. He read stories from Ramayana and Mahabharatha. He had a desire to study more and become a scholar. He wanted to see God.
4. Later he met his real guru Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and experienced God. He stayed with Ramakrishna Paramahamsa for a few years. Then he became a wandering monk, visiting different places in India. He spoke to the people about the importance of education. He said that education should develop a complete human being. He fought against social evils like the caste system, superstitions and so on.
5. Swami Vivekananda went to the United States of America (USA) in 1893. He made a great speech in the Parliament of Religions in Chicago. He said that all religions in the world preached the same truth. Therefore everyone in the world should develop a sense of brotherhood and love each other. He came back to India and began to teach tolerance and love.
6. He established the Belur Math in Calcutta, which became the centre of the Ramakrishna Mission. The main motto of Ramakrishna Mission is “Work is Worship”. He lived for only 39 years, but his achievements are great. He made the world understand that India was a great country.
7. Vivekananda’s words guide us even today.
