Speech of the President Shri V.V Giri on the Occasion of the Inauguration of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial at Kanyakumari on September 2, 1970 - 3

The problem of human suffering and inequality between man and man has no doubt existed from the dawn of time, but it was only during the recent decades the affluence of a few and the misery of the many has become sharper and more acute. Whether one approaches the problem purely from the materialistic angle or a humanistic angle or from as ethical angle, one will find that only by a change of heart and outlook can we wipe out sufferings and truly we will be able to establish the kingdom of God.

Inaugural function of Vivekananda Rock Memorial on 2nd September, 1970 Welcome address by President, Shri D.N. Sinha

I shall however tell you in a very small compass, the story as to how Swamiji came to be associated with the rock, to enable you all the better to appreciate the gravity of the occasion and the grandness of the idea that lies behind this attempt to dedicate a memorial on the rock to Swamiji, to commemorate an unique spiritual experience of his, which has now become a part of history.

SHINING STARS & SMILING FLOWERS

Many a times, we say there is no ideal in front of us; we dream and wish for the best. And while grieving or being melancholy over what is not with us, we do miss so many inspiring, heart-warming, life nurturing moments in life which can make our life purposeful. While grieving over the unavailability of the shining stars in life, we miss so many beautiful smiling flowers around us. These smiling flowers warm our heart and make our life fragrant. The shining stars are distant and visible only in the night but the fragrant flowers are always around. Let us stop grudging and grumbling and open our eyes to see these smiling flowers in our society. These smiling flowers are strewn liberally on each path. As a Jeevanvrati Karyakarta of Vivekananda Kendra, on my path too, I come across many beautiful smiling flowers, the inspiring, heart touching moments. This series is a garland of such blossoming, smiling flowers

Parameswaran, A Warrior For Dharma In The Intellectual Battlefield

Aggressive Hinduism

The greatest threat to Hinduism and the Hindu Nation, Bharatavarsha, comes not from aliens from outside the country or from those children of Mother Bharat who have fallen stooges to alien culture and values of life, but from the so called sadhus, sants, spiritual heads of various sampradayas and sectarian leaders within the Hindu society who, out of their urge for domination over their blind followers, have divided the Hindu Society into multifarious groups and organizations, some even claiming themselves to be non-Hindus and minorities to enjoy political privileges and material well-being.

Effort And Sport

Effort is to be converted into sport. Sport ceases to be enjoyable, if it is for a fruit. Effort is often for a fruit and sport is its own fruit. Any attempt for a specific fruit may make us concerned more with the fruit than with the effort.
