Swami Vivekananda confirmed glory of Hinduism to the world: Doval at JNU

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval Tuesday stated Swami Vivekananda was the primary particular person to make the world realise “the high spiritual content and exalted glory of Hinduism”.
He was addressing the primary Swami Vivekananda Memorial Lecture at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi to commemorate his 158th beginning anniversary.

Two months in the past, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had unveiled a statue of Swami Vivekananda on the JNU campus. JNU’s Executive Council had determined to carry an annual week-long youth competition to commemorate Vivekananda’s beginning anniversary. It had additionally handed a decision to “constitute a committee to develop academic/research programs on Swami Vivekananda”.
The lecture by Doval on Tuesday was attended by JNU V-C M Jagadesh Kumar.
Doval stated: “The British colonial power was at its pinnacle and the country was politically subjugated, economically impoverished, socially fragmented and psychologically, people had been stunned to silence…. As a young man with no resources and few supporters, he (Swami Vivekananda) plunged himself in the battleground to awaken sleeping India… He derived his energy from India’s spiritual past and its strength.”

Doval referred to as him a “great Hindu missionary” and stated: “He inspired people to hold onto their Hindu spiritual heritage. He profusely wrote and preached about dhyan, sadhana and yog. He said that you may learn many things from the West, but must have faith in their own spiritual heritage.”
Doval stated that Swami Vivekananda talked in regards to the unity of the society and lamented that one of many causes of India’s degradation was its “social fragmentation, caste system and self-centric narrow vision”.
