Shat Shat Naman

शत् शत् नमन

१८६३ में जन्मे एक महात्मा
जिन्होंने की विश्व शांति की स्थापना
सप्तर्षि मंडल के ऋषि ने लिया बालक का अवतार
जिससे नर-नारी का हुआ पूर्ण उद्धार

जानते हैं नरेन्द्र था यह बालक
जो बना विश्व का प्रतिपालक
सबमें थी इसकी रूचि
चाहे हो पढाई कुश्ती या तैराकी
संगीत में माहिर होने पर भी
बिताया इसने अपना जीवन एकाकी

रामकृष्ण के स्सनिध्य में
बालक पला बढ़ा
मुख से प्रेम वाणी सुनकर
इसका चरित्र परिमार्जित हुआ

श्री रामकृष्ण मिशन की स्थापना पर
सबमें थी उमंग
बालक नरेन्द्र से बने ये स्वामी विवेकानंद
नर-नारी की सेवा
यही था इनका नारा
चले जिसपर यह विश्व सारा

परन्तु अल्पायु में ही समय ने अपनी दिशा मोड़ी
उसपार उड़ चले स्वामी जन जन की संगती छोड़ी
भुला न पायेंगे उस नक्षत्र को कभी
भारत क्या जग्वासी सभी

तो आइये करें उस स्वामी को हम
!!शत् शत्  नमन!!
!!!!शत् शत्  नमन!!!!

Preachings of Swami Vivekananda

“Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached!”
-swami Vivekananda

“Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within, by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy – by one, or more, or all of these – and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.”
-swami Vivekananda

“Look upon every man, woman, and everyone as God. You cannot help anyone, you can only serve; serve the children of the Lord, serve the Lord Himself, if you have the privilege.”
-swami Vivekananda

“The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that.”
-swami Vivekananda

“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.”
-swami Vivekananda
