6. Evidence of demonstrating the skills and recognizing the benefits of working collaboratively

During my CAS experience there were many actions which required teamwork and which allowed me to work collaboratively. It taught me that sometimes it is better to work in group and then the certain activity becomes more fascinating. The two action which involved collaborative work were: organizing TED x Rasz

https://www.tumblr.com/maksadamowicz1/736522879776276480/service-november22

7. Evidence of engagement in issues of global significance

The engagement in such actions taught me that it is important to help others and that there are many areas in the world which require human help. By engaging in helping to resolve global issues I learned that sometimes it is important to spend time to help others because it serves for a greater good. Two actions which are showing my engagement are: volunteer cleaning my local forest and helping Ukrainian refugees:

9. Evidence of reflection on significant CAS experiences

Creativity

https://www.tumblr.com/maksadamowicz1/736524135882178561/creativity-october22

The process of creating the website was fascinating, as I am interested in computer science and programming, the whole idea of creating website was awesome. It gave me the ability to improve my programming skills and allowed my to create something new, which haven’t been done before. During the programming I had a lot of problems because it was really hard at first to properly code the website. The creativity during CAS was an awesome experience and I was able to develope a lot of skills and I found many new passion and hobbies

Service

https://www.tumblr.com/maksadamowicz1/744100011727568896/service-december22

During the volunteery activities I was able to spend my time on helping other people. It included a lot of teamwork skills and the idea of helping other people is great. It gave me a feeling of fulfillment and it required also planning skills to properly plan an event of giving scholarships. I had a lot of fun during organizing and planning and after an event I was proud of myself that I did my best to help other people.

Activity

https://www.tumblr.com/maksadamowicz1/702735787280760832/activity-4-here-is-a-photo-of-me-done-by-my

Playing basketball was one of the best CAS experiences I have ever had during the whole process. It allowed my to collaborate with other teammates and the success was shared between the whole team. The idea of playing a sport with other people was great and even though the sport is highly competitive it was still a lot of fun and the atmosphere on the basketball court was unforgettable. The team trainings were really engaging and I have developed a lot of new basketball skills.

Final reflection

-What did you enjoy most about CAS?

The most enjoyable thing about CAS was the idea of spending time productively and having an opportunity of developing new skills. CAS gave me motivation to perform new actions and to develop my hobbies. Also it motivated me to work volunteerly and to help other people. Before CAS the being the volunteer was unusual to me but it turned out that I really enjoyed any service I had

- What was your greatest challenge and how did you overcome this?

The greater challenge during CAS was overcoming laziness and staying consistent. Sometimes I lacked any motivation to perform any actions, and I was too lazy to start any action. To overcome this I have created a timetable to track all my activities, this helped me to stay consistent and be able to stay motivated through whole CAS

- What have you achieved through CAS?

During CAS I have achieved a lot of things but the main achievement was the feeling of fulfillment that I have completed something new and that for example during the services I have served for a greater good. The activity and creativity tasks, gave me the feeling of learning something new and I was feeling that I am the better person

- What abilities and skills did you develop most significantly in CAS?

During CAS I have managed to acquire a lot of new skills. The main skill which I have developed is the teamwork. Before CAS I was an individualist, but it turned out that sometimes it is better to work collaboratively because then, the task becomes 100 times more enjoyable.

- Which learning outcome did you find most easy to achieve? Most difficult to achieve?

The easiest outcome to achieve was the LO 4(the commitment), as before the CAS I was committed to playing basketball for 5 years, therefore long term commitment was not something new and it was not hard to achieve because it was my habit, therefore every day of playing basketball was not something new to me. The hardest outcome to achieve was LO6 because before CAS I was not used to any volunteery activities therefore, engagement in global issues was something new and at first it was hard to engage.

Swami Vivekananda was a Hindu monk and one of the most celebrated spiritual leaders of India. He was more than just a spiritual mind; he was a prolific thinker, great orator and passionate patriot. He carried on the free-thinking philosophy of his guru, Ramakrishna Paramhansa forward into a new paradigm. He worked tirelessly towards betterment of the society, in servitude of the poor and needy, dedicating his all for his country. He was responsible for the revival of Hindu spiritualism and established Hinduism as a revered religion on world stage. His message of universal brotherhood and self-awakening remains relevant especially in the current backdrop of widespread political turmoil around the world. The young monk and his teachings have been an inspiration to many, and his words have become goals of self-improvement especially for the youth of the country. For this very reason, his birthday, January 12, is celebrated as the National Youth Day in India.

Early Life and Education

Born Narendranath Dutta, into an affluent Bengali family in Calcutta, Vivekananda was one of the eight children of Vishwanath Dutta and Bhuvaneshwari Devi. He was born on January 12, 1863, on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. Father Vishwanath was a successful attorney with considerable influence in society. Narendranath’s mother Bhuvaneshwari was a woman endowed with a strong, God-fearing mind who had a great impact on her son.

As a young boy, Narendranath displayed sharp intellect. His mischievous nature belied his interest in music, both instrumental as well as vocal. He excelled in his studies as well, first at the Metropolitan institution, and later at the Presidency College in Calcutta. By the time he graduated from the college, he had acquired a vast knowledge of different subjects. He was active in sports, gymnastics, wrestling and body building. He was an avid reader and read up on almost everything under the sun. He perused the Hindu scriptures like the Bhagvad Gita and the Upanishads on one hand, while on the other hand he studied western philosophy, history and spirituality by David Hume, Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Herbert Spencer.

Spiritual Crisis and Relationship with Ramkrishna Paramhansa

Although Narendranath’s mother was a devout woman and he had grown up in a religious atmosphere at home, he underwent a deep spiritual crisis at the start of his youth. His well-studied knowledge led him to question the existence of God and for some time he believed in Agnosticism. Yet he could not completely ignore the existence of a Supreme Being. He became associated with Brahmo Movement led by Keshab Chandra Sen, for some time. The Bramho Samaj recognised one God unlike the idol-worshipping, superstition-ridden Hinduism. The host of philosophical questions regarding the existence of God roiling through his mind remained unanswered. During this spiritual crisis, Vivekananda first heard about Sri Ramakrishna from William Hastie, the Principal of the Scottish Church College.

Earlier, to satisfy his intellectual quest for God, Narendranath visited prominent spiritual leaders from all religions, asking them a single question, “Have you seen God?” Each time he came away without a satisfying answer. He put forward the same question to Sri Ramkrishna at his residence in Dakshinewar Kali Temple compounds. Without a moment's hesitation, Sri Ramakrishna replied: "Yes, I have. I see God as clearly as I see you, only in a much deeper sense." Vivekananda, initially unimpressed by the simplicity of Ramkrishna, was astonished with Ramakrishna's reply. Ramakrishna gradually won over this argumentative young man with his patience and love. The more Narendranath visited Dakshineshwar, the more his questions were answered.

Spiritual Awakening

In 1884, Naredranath underwent a considerable financial distress due to the death of his father as he had to support his mother and younger siblings. He asked Ramakrishna to pray to the Goddess for the financial welfare of his family. On Ramakrishna’s suggestion he himself went to the temple to pray. But once he faced the Goddess he could not ask for money and wealth, instead he asked for ‘Vivek’ (conscience) and ‘Bairagya’ (reclusion). That day marked the complete spiritual awakening of Narendranath and he found himself drawn to an ascetic way of life.

Life of a Monk

During the middle of 1885, Ramakrishna, who had been suffering from throat cancer, fell seriously ill. In September 1885, Sri Ramakrishna was moved to Shyampukur in Culcutta, and a few months later Narendranath took a rented villa at Cossipore. Here, he formed a group of young people who were ardent followers of Sri Ramakrishna and together they nursed their Guru with devoted care. On 16 August 1886, Sri Ramakrishna gave up his mortal body.

After the demise of Sri Ramakrishna, around fifteen of his disciples including Narendranath began to live together in a dilapidated building at Baranagar in North Calcutta, which was named Ramakrishna Math, the monastic order of Ramakrishna. Here, in 1887, they formally renounced all ties to the world and took vows of monkhood. The brotherhood rechristened themselves and Narendranath emerged as Vivekananda meaning "the bliss of discerning wisdom".

The brotherhood lived off on alms donated voluntarily by patrons during holy begging or ‘madhukari’, performed yoga and meditation. Vivekananda left the Math in 1886 and went on a tour of India on foot as a ‘Parivrajak’. He travelled the breadth of the country, absorbing much of the social, cultural and religious aspects of the people he came in contact with. He witnessed the adversities of life that the common people faced, their ailments, and vowed to dedicate his life to bring relief to these suffering.

Lecture at the World Parliament of Religions

During the course of his wanderings, he came to know about the World Parliament of Religions being held in Chicago, America in 1893. He was keen to attend the meeting, to represent India, Hinduism and his Guru Sri Ramakrishna’s philosophies. He found assertion of his wishes while he was meditating on the rocks of Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of India. Money was raised by his disciples in Madras (now Chennai) and Ajit Singh, Raja of Khetri, and Vivekananda left for Chicago on May 31, 1893 from Bombay.

He faced insurmountable hardships on his way to Chicago, but his spirits remained as indomitable as ever. On 11 September 1893, when the time came, he took the stage and stunned everyone with his opening line “My brothers and sisters of America”. He received a standing ovation from the audience for the opening phrase. He went on to describe the principles of Vedanta and their spiritual significance, putting Hinduism on the map of World Religions.

He spent the next two and a half years in America and founded the Vedanta Society of New York in 1894. He also travelled to the United Kingdom to preach the tenets of the Vedanta and Hindu Spiritualism to the western world.

Teachings and Ramakrishna Mission

Vivekananda returned to India in 1897 amidst warm reception from the common and royal alike. He reached Calcutta after a series of lectures across the country and founded the Ramakrishna Mission on May 1, 1897 at Belur Math near Calcutta. The goals of the Ramakrishna Mission were based on the ideals of Karma Yoga and its primary objective was to serve the poor and distressed population of the country. The Ramakrishna Mission undertook various forms of social service like establishing and running school, collages and hospitals, propagation of practical tenets of Vedanta through conference, seminars and workshops, initiating relief and rehabilitation work across the country.

His religious conscience was an amalgamation of Sri Ramakrishna’s spiritual teachings of Divine manifestation and his personal internalization of the Advaita Vedanta philosophy. He directed to achieve the divinity of the soul by undertaking selfless work, worship and mental discipline. According to Vivekananda, the ultimate goal is to achieve freedom of the soul and that encompasses the entirety of one’s religion.

Swami Vivekananda was a prominent nationalist, and had the overall welfare of his countrymen topmost in his mind. He urged his fellow countrymen to “Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached”.

Death

Swami Vivekananda had predicted that he will not live till the age of forty. On July 4, 1902, he went about his days’ work at the Belur Math, teaching Sanskrit grammar to the pupils. He retired to his room in the evening and died during meditation at around 9. He is said to have attained ‘Mahasamadhi’ and the great saint was cremated on the Banks of river Ganga.

Legacy

Swami Vivekananda revealed to the world the true foundations of India's unity as a nation. He taught how a nation with such a vast diversity can be bound together by a feeling of humanity and brother-hood. Vivekananda emphasized the points of drawbacks of western culture and the contribution of India to overcome those. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose once said: "Swamiji harmonized the East and the West, religion and science, past and present. And that is why he is great. Our countrymen have gained unprecedented self-respect, self-reliance and self-assertion from his teachings." Vivekananda was successful in constructing a virtual bridge between the culture of East and the West. He interpreted the Hindu scriptures, philosophy and the way of life to the Western people. He made them realize that in spite of poverty and backwardness, India had a great contribution to make to world culture. He played a key role in ending India's cultural isolation from the rest of the world.
