SWAMI VIVEKANANDA: STRUGGLE, RESILIENCE, AND LEGACY

The discussions surround Swami Ji's feat in taking Vedanta to the world, yet the immense struggles and challenges.

He faced often go unacknowledged. His journey marked by opposition, ridicule, financial hardships and poor health - reveals the challenges of a genuine, truth-loving individual and a social reformer. Despite being a spiritual giant, his progressive Vedantic teachings faced tremendous resistance, specifically from the society he aimed to uplift. His story reminds us of the human side behind his extraordinary mission.

It is common practice to elevate and idolize great individuals-be it Ram, Krishna, sages, or saintsby weaving magical stories and attributing mystical powers to them. Our motto has been to place great individuals on a high pedestal, and this allows us to dismiss their achievements as purely divine, sparing us the challenge of recognizing our own human potential for greatness. This mindset prevents us from truly learning from their lives and avoids the responsibility of driving meaningful change. Idolizing them as superhuman shields us from the challenge of rising up to their standards of perseverance, courage, and dedication.

This tendency of ours extends to Swami Vivekananda as well. Popular narratives about him often focus on the divine and extraordinary aspects of his traordinary aspects of his personality, overshadowing the very real struggles and challenges he faced as a human being. Swami Vivekananda's journey was fraught with immense challenges, as detailed in his letters to friends, students, and well-wishers.

Despite the popular notion that his visit to Chicago in 1893 was universally celebrated, he faced significant opposition, especially from orthodox Indian and American religious groups who criticized his attire, language, and eating habits.
