On the occasion of the 158th Birth Day of Swami Vivekananda , we are adoringly remembering the great reverence of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism to Swami Vivekananda. Here, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism is seated in the Ramakrishna Dhyanapeetham, which He named after Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, the guru of Swami Vivekananda, out of complete gratitude and love. The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism is seated in front of the guru parampara, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda and after whom He lovingly dedicated the first KAILASA in Thiruchengode. The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism reveres Swami Vivekananda as His own guru. In His own words He says, "All of you call me as “Swamiji”, but I tell you, I use that word only for Vivekananda! His sacrifice, his dedication…! The first time I read Vivekananda’s life was, may be, when I was fourteen, surely below fourteen, a book published by Ramakrishna Mission, Chennai Ramakrishna Mutt. It is a combined biography of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. Then, I don’t know how many times I read different, different biographies, reminiscences, to grasp, to understand all the three great personalities of modern-day Hinduism, architects of modern-day Hinduism – Vivekananda, Ramakrishna and Sharada Devi" #guru #vivekananda #nithyananda #kailasa https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ8M8rbgnd_/?igshid=1anzryfo0qrk1
