Vivekananda was born Narendranath Datta .t his ancestral home at 3 Gourmohan Mukherjee Street in Calcutta, the capital of British India, on 12 January 1863 during the Makar Sankranti festival.He belonged to a traditional Bengali Kayastha family and was one of nine siblings.Durgacharan Datta, Narendra's grandfather was a Sanskrit and Persian scholar who left his family and became a monk at age twenty-five. His mother, Bhubaneswari Devi, was a devout housewife.
The progressive, rational attitude of Narendra's father and the religious temperament of his mother helped shape his thinking and personality.
Narendranath was interested spiritually from a young age, and used to meditate before the images of deities such as Shiva, Rama, Sita, and Mahavir Hanuman.He was fascinated by wandering ascetics and monks.
Narendra's first introduction to Ramakrishna occurred in a literature class at General Assembly's Institution when he heard Professor William Hastie lecturing on William Wordsworth's poem, The Excursion.
While explaining the word "trance" in the poem, Hastie suggested that his students visit Ramakrishna of Dakshineswar to understand the true meaning of trance. This prompted some of his students (including Narendra) to visit Ramakrishna.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

-Amey Hegde
5. Attitude
It is our own mental attitude which makes the
world what it is for us. Our thought make things
beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The
whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see
things in the proper light.
We must have friendship for all; we must be
merciful toward those that are in misery; when
people are happy, we ought to be happy; and to
the wicked we must be indifferent. These
attitudes will make the mind peaceful.
6. Belief in Self
Never think there is anything impossible for the
soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there
is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are
weak, or others are weak.
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively
taught and practiced, I am sure a very large
portion of the evils and miseries that we have
would have vanished.
7. Concentration & Focus
The world is ready to give up its secrets if we
only know how to knock, how to give it the
necessary blow. The strength and force of the
blow come through concentration.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life -
think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the
brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body,
be full of that idea, and just leave every other
idea alone. This is the way to success.
8. Grumble Less, Work More
Those who grumble at the little thing that
has fallen to their lot to do will grumble at
everything. Always grumbling they will lead
a miserable life... . But those who do their
duty putting their sshhoouullddeerr ttoo tthhee wwhheeeell
will see the light, and higher and higher
duties will fall to their share.
9. Kindness & Service
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.
Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping
hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless
your brothers, and let them go their own way.
10. Persistence
To succeed you must have tremendous
perseverance, tremendous will. "I will drink the
ocean," says the persevering soul, "at my will
mountains will crumble." Have that sort of
energy, that sort of will, work hard, and you will
rreeaacchh tthhee ggooaall..
Don't look back- forward, infinite energy, infinite
enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience -
then alone can great deeds be accomplished.
11. Positive Thinking
If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about
death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and
masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes
more secure, more fraught with action, richer in
achievement and experience.
Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place
them day and night before you, and out of that will come
great work.
12. Responsibility
Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole
responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you
are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and
succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make
your own future.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we
wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make
ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our
own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we
wish to be in future can be produced by our present
actions; so we have to know how to act.
13. Serve: Do good
Tt is only by doing good
to others that one attains
to one's own good.
Portraitoon by Alexyz, one of Goa’s premier cartoonists
