S248: Vi-Ve-Ka_nanda Trilogy on 12-Jan the National Youth Day,/GRP @2023.

Dear young Bros & Sisters the Youth of India,

Wishing all a Happy National Youth Day. On Jan-12’s.

Q: Where are The Indian Youth missing out.. See todays news.. ? https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/nine-doctors-arrested-in-karnataka-for-trafficking-consuming-drugs-3683412/amp/1

Ans: Many Youth are on paths of toxicity and irrationality due to avidya (Ignorance) and adharma (Immorality) and can improve by listening and extracting value from  Vivekananda’s message to the Youth of India. #ViVeKa-Method/Model of Life.

For Indian model of Rationalness is Viveka-tva.

Basis of Technology is Science and the Basis of Science is Rationality.

#Doctrine Of HigherDiscretion I.e #UpaVivekaSidanta.  #Hitha-Vivekam (Beneficial-Discretion). Viveka is not Discrimination (DurBeda) but it is Discretion (Su-Viveka). Also there exists a Spectrum between Discrimination (Negative-Hurting) to Discretion (Positive-Helping).

Q: What’s Distinction between Discrimination (Fake-Viveka) & Discretion (True-Viveka)?

Both are forms of diffrentiation, difference is Discrimination is irrational, baseless and more biasful (@Whims and fancies of a tyrant or a dominant group) , while Discretion is rational, bias-less and more basis full (@needs and fairness of empaths and Egalitarian groups).

How to Go from Right Facts to Fair_Acts to Helpful_Impacts?  Swami Viveka teaches us How.. through service dedicated to the nation Connecting Dots of Spirituality, Nationalism & Socialism.

“Arise, Awake and Stop not until the goal is reached“. said Swami Vivekananda the Youth Icon Of India since year 1893 the ripples of claps from the religious parliament at New York.. that is 120+yrs of waves of that Speech and Swamijis work have been transforming many lives and institutions.

In an aligned spirit Let me request you to scroll, read and stop not until the end of post is reached. What good can it do reading this today on National Youth day 2023?..  Ans: Its to highlight the Youthful Facts of Swamiji, his Soulful acts and the impacts it has around us and how it influenced many & me too personally, this expressed in just three “Steps of Vi- Ve- Ka.”

‘Viveka‘ in Indic languages means ‘Discretion‘, Intellect or Intelligence..  I can say that With the Viveka like that of Vivekananda “Vee-Vake-up” to Ananda or Bliss.

In any subject the power/practice of discretion (different from discrimination that supremacism likes to mislabel it) or distinctions between things is essential to deeper understanding, be it Scientific-discretion (Rationality), Artistic-discretion (Artistry), Judicial-Discretion (Judiciary) or Civic-Discretion (Citizenry).

This critical faculty of Logical-Discretion (not Irrational-Discrimination) is what distinguishes us the homo-sapiens with ‘6th sense‘ I.e a more capable power among the animal kingdom. This power gives us the ability to say which is which.. eg. Which idea is helping and which is hurting, which tool is more useful and which is lesser useful to a given task. This is not to destabilize but to optimize our lives and society.

Below is what can make us better humans Vi-Ve-Ka (Vidya,Veeram, Kartavyam) (Education, Courage & Moral Duty).

Let’s now together Introspect and define Vi-Ve-Ka and we find it also relatable to the 3 phases of Swami ViVeKananda’s Life.

1. ‘Vi-step’ 1st Phase of Vishaya (Facts) (Years 1863-1881) Vidya (Education), Vigour(Energy), Vichara(Thinking), Vishala(Vastness), Vidya(education) and Vinamrata(Humility-Discipline) of the young Narendranath at Kolkata in his founding childhood years.

He was a very inquisitive and enquiring young child full of curiosity and compassion. He was on a Quest of inquiry (Vichara Vimarshane) into many questions of life and society. This vigour of questioning of vishaya facts lead him to question his spiritual guru Sri Ramakrishna and get initiated into the monastic life as Vivekananda. Which led to the 2nd phase of speedy dedicated acts.

2. ‘Ve-step’ the 2nd-Phase of Ve-ga (Speed/Acts) (Yrs. 1881-1892), This phase with speed and force he set-out on a journey across the nation from the north to southern tip of The Indian peninsula, to Kanyakumari and and dint stop where the land stopped he swam across the waters of Indian Ocean to the Vivekananda-Rock to look at the mother land and meditate on his journey and the future. Here he saw envisioned and set out planning his mission of life. This is his phase of Which moved on to the 3rd most brilliant phase of Impacts.

3. ‘Ka’ the 3rd phase of Kartavya/Karma Yoga (Duty-Impact) (Yr.1893-1902) & Karmaphala Beyond till date. Here he set out on the most extraordinary journey across the space and time.. from Kanyakumari to Chicago to Colombo to Almora and more.. The Ripples he created as a spiritual-citizen has turned to great waves for our nation.

Impact-1: In this journey his first major impact was when he met JN Tata the worlds most philanthropic personality of the Century ($102 billion donation), where he impacted Tata in the creation of India’s best Institute of research 110+ years back the Indian Institute of Science (Mother/Father of IITs) fondly called by Bengalurean localites by the founder’s name as the ‘Tata-Institute‘. His letter is also a testimonial fact to Swami Vivekananda’s acts & Impact on J.N. Tata sourced from Tatas Company website.

1. https://www.tata.com/newsroom/jamsetji-tata-letter-to-swami-vivekananda

Impact2– Starting of the Ramakrishna Mission. Associating with greats like sister nivedita and other brothers of mission.

Impact3– Founding of Belur Math at Kolkata.

Impact4: Egalitarian Concept of ‘Daridra Narayana’. TREATING the Poor, Marginalized, Downdrodden, suppressed, oppressed and depressed classte as equally divine, godly and respecting them spiritually-honorable and valuable. Few ideas may have collaborated with Dr.Ambedkars Egalitarian Ideas if there may have been a chance meetup with like J.N Tata on the ship. There is a correlation similarity between Ambedkar and Vi-Ve-Ka that slogan of educate(Vidya), agitate(Veeram) and organize(Kartavyam) https://www.speakingtree.in/blog/when-swami-vivekananda-destroyed-the-caste-system

Impact4– Inspired & Inspiring many Indians including Subhash Chandra Bose (INA) , JN Tata(IISc), Gandhi, Tagore, Jayalalitha, Anna Hazare (Anti Corruption, Jan Lok Pal), etc

Many more impacts may be there not listed here..

Conclusion:

“Expansion is Life, Contraction is Death” – Swami Vivekananda.

Thus swami ‘Vi-Ve-Ka‘-ananda was a youth icon of the Nation who lived his initiated-name sharing viveka of Vidya(Wisdom), Veerya(Valour) & KarmaNistata (Dedicated Service).

May we all be inspired by his message and works to get to the Facts, convert it to dedicated Acts and create positive Impacts in our lives and nation as Patriots for a Prabuddha-Bharat (Awakened-India 2030) as is the vision of Swami Vivekananda.

Bharat Mata Ki Jai, (Glory be to Mother India)

Bharatiya Bhaiya (Vivekananda) ki Jai, (Glory to Brother Vivekananda)

Bharatiya janta ki Jai. (Glory to all Indian Citizens).

One line Summary:

Vivekananda’s life teaches us the Attainment of Rationalness Vivekatva.. ViVeKa= Vishaya/Vidya + Veeram/Vegam + Karya/Kartavyam.

Better Discretion can be Achieved by Facts by Education + Acts with Courage + Impacts by our Duty.
