Bharat Ek Khoj 47: Vivekananda

Bharat Ek Khoj-The Discovery of India
A Production of Doordarshan, the Government of India’s Public Service Broadcaster
Episode 47: Vivekananda
With Alok Nath as Vivekananda, Vipin Sharma as Ramkrishna Paramhansa, Ashok Banthia as Maharaja Mangal Singh, Arjun Raina as Maharaja of Khetri, Narayan Pati as Mahendra Gupta, Sudhir Kulkarni as Sarat Chandra, Anand Mishra as Devendranath Tagore, Subrata Bose as Keshubchandra Sen, and Jasjeet as the dancer. Playback is by Chhaya Ganguly, Pankaj Mitra, and Jolly Mukharjee. Script by Gulan Kripalani.
Nehru records that the real impact of the West came to Bengal in the 19th century through technological changes and their dynamic consequences. The first reaction, limited to the small English-educated middle class, was one of admiration and acceptance of almost everything Western. The counter-attempt by Raja Rammohun Roy was to adapt Hinduism to this new environment and start ‘Brahmo Samaj’ on rationalist and social reform basis. Another notable reform movement in the late 19th century was by Swami Dayananda Saraswati that struck root in the form of ‘Arya Samaj’ among the Hindus of the United Province and the Punjab with the slogan: ‘Back to the Vedas’.
Another person in Bengal, whose life and precepts considerably influenced the new English-educated classes, was Ramakrishna Paramahansa, a simple man who searched for self-realisation. He even met and lived with Muslim and Christian mystics emphasising: All roads lead to truth. One of his chief disciples was Swami Vivekananda, who founded the non-sectarian Ramakrishna Mission of service.
Young Naren’s queries of mystic nature lead him to Ramakrishna at Dakshineshwar, whom he charms with his Nirguna song: O mind, return to your own abode, forsaking your useless sojourn in material worlds as an uninvited stranger … Ramakrishna embraces him as the one for whom he was waiting so long. While Naren is eager to experience Nirvikalpa Samadhi (salvation, by total absorption in the universal identity), the Master chides him for his self-absorption, rather than be a huge tree to provide refuge to others!
After the Master’s demise in 1886, Naren moves to a dilapidated house in Baranagar and leads a life of austerity. At Hathras railway station, he meets Sarat Chandra Gupta who becomes his first disciple (Swami Sadananda). At Khetri, Maharaja Ajit Singh becomes his friend and disciple, where he listens to a Bhajan from a Baiji and calls her ‘mother’.
After travelling throughout the country for three years, he reaches Kanya Kumari and, to everybody’s consternation, swims across the sea to the southernmost rock ( ‘Vivekananda Rock’) and sits all night in deep meditation. The vast panorama of India passes before his mind’s eye with its past, present and future. On return to Khetri, the Maharaja suggests that he should assume the name of ‘Vivekananda’. With financial help from him and others, Vivekananda proceeds to America to attend the Parliament of Religions, convened in Chicago, in 1893.
There his address, opening with: ‘Sisters and Brothers of America!’, meets with thunderous applause. He declares that like all rivers finding a confluence in the sea, all religions ultimately end in one common God. Purity, sanctity and cordiality to all are not the property of any one religion. Nehru observes that Vivekananda laid stress on liberty and equality: ‘Liberty of thought and action is the only condition in life, of growth and well-being; where it does not exist, the man, the race, the nation must go’.

Swami Vivekananda was born at Orissa, got dicsha at Calcutta, once again enlightened the world with Hindu ignition. He taught the whole world not to end up as a worm, instead lead a life productive for the service of mankind. He was a star incarnate who had indescribable memory power; one who witnessed only thirty nine springs in his life and in wonderful peace he breathed his last. That star-incarnate is always worshipable.

After Lord Buddha chronologically, but above him spiritually. Buddha did not face the world, he escaped it by following an ascetic life. Vivekananda on the contrary found that monastic life even in an isolated ascetic style is too comfortable, he returned back into the world to see the sorrow of people, the oppressed and unfairly treated by the high classes. He placed bravery as the highest virtue. Buddha closed his eyes and blocked the outside world, finding an equilibrium he called enlightenment only in his own soul. Like someone who blocks the light of the sun inside a cave and lights a candle refusing the outside world. Vivekananda opened his own eyes and embraced the world with courage to stay benevolent in the world which is much more difficult than to give benevolent advice from outside the world (which is hypocritical, "do as I preach, then the world pains will disappear") like Buddha. Buddha would have fallen down to Vivekananda's feet and told him you opened my closed eyes and i will stop rolling my thumbs and be in the world, not out of it. I was lost and because of me many have become lost. It would have been better for me to stay in the palace of my forefathers and lived a life of luxury and abundance so that i wouldn't have mislead so many people Lord Vivekananda would have made him rise and told him, "you searched a long time inside your soul, I searched a long time in thousands of souls, not only mine. You found an acceptable state for you own soul to shine like a candle in a dark cave, I found the truth for millions of soul to shine together outside in the bright sun." Buddha would have answered, "Yes swammy, now i understand it is how people relate to each other that is important, not how i see myself in the mirror of my soul." Buddha would then have all his gigantic stone statues ordered destroyed.

Most people in the world did not realise the play of my Grandfather Bhagwan Mepa Natha Chitroda he was code named as Aurobindo Ghost. It was his 007 Role as he played the Bible entirely and played it before 1947. It only lasted around 50-60 years. People like Vivekananda where sponsored by Bhagwan Mepa Natha Chitroda as they wanted education it is very likely that Ramakrishna was also a student of my Grandfather Bhagwan Mepa Natha Chitroda. This was a separate movement as another movement was also funded by Bhagwan Mepa Natha Chitroda and went on to create the Hindu Franchise known as ISKON with Srila Prabhupad. 🤴🏽🕉🔺➕
