Bhagat Singh transformed Swami Vivekananda’s call for heroic spirituality into a political struggle for justice. In that transformation, the hero of the freedom struggle built a bridge between spiritual nationalism and revolutionary activism in India’s freedom movement. An analysis on how the non-violent sage inspired the revolutionary freedom fighter.
The revolutionary yogi Vivekananda propagated the spiritualisaton of nationalism, as he believed that patriotism should be rooted in dharma. His revolutionary vision of nationalism inspired generations of Indian freedom fighters to blend activism with asceticism and courage with compassion.
Why Vivekananda looked upon Shivaji as a hero and exhorted the youth of India to be heroes like the Maratha warrior-king.
Pope Francis’ life was a testament to his belief that true wealth lies not in material possessions, but in service to God and humanity. He will be remembered for reviving the belief that the Church was meant to serve the poor.
A living example of the transformative power of yoga, Vivekananda, a bridge between East and West, is a revolutionary force who continues to guide humanity towards a more holistic and interconnected existence.
For a long time, teachers of religion have condemned humans as sinners. Taking a cue from our scriptures, isn’t it time we say goodbye to sin and discover the divinity within all of us.
