Course Content
Swami Vivekananda is a world famous figure who is by far the most important disciple of the Master. He is in one way a touch stone of the Master’s realizations. Originally a rationalist, learned in science and philosophy and scorner of Hindu ways of Life and Worship, he came to Sri Ramakrishna as a critical enquirer. He came questioning the Master, ‘Have you seen the God?’ and got the reply as, ‘I have seen Him and I have seen Him in a way more real than I see you. And if you follow my instructions I can also help you to see him.’ This perfect and uncompromising answer to his challenging question brought the rash Narendra, as Swami Vivekananda. This young man of very powerful intellect and will was brought under subjugation by the power of the Master’s realization and the charm of his selfless love.
The above extract has been taken from our course materials. The Life and Message of Swami Vivekananda is a part of the Yoga Instructor's Course. You may now apply for the YIC residentially while staying in Prashanti Kutiram campus or non-residentially while staying outside Prashanti!
