speech on Vivekanand by my student Ankita


“Love must conquer hatred; hated cannot conquer itself.”
Swami Vivekananda had a very dynamic persona.

 He was a man with great will power and determination. He had immense
 faith in the youth of the country. 
That’s why once; he had famously said that “If I get 10 or 12 boys 
with the will power of NACHIKETA, I can change the perception 
of the whole world.” He considered the entire world as a single unit and all
 the people as his brothers and sisters. That’s why, in one of his lectures,
 he has mentioned the phrase, “Brothers and sisters of America.” He believed that our 
Atman, our soul is immortal and it has the might of the entire universe
 within it. His thinkings
 were that we shouldn’t curb or condemn our old traditions; rather
 we should try to remould them according to the time. He had also laid the emphasis 
on Rajas i.e., activity. He believed that Rajas is the only and sole basis for the ladder of the success and he wanted everyone to live freely in this country. That’s why he had mentioned,
                          “None deserves liberty who isn’t ready to give liberty.”
