Swami Vivekananda

Chakravarthy Rajagopalachari:  Vivekananda saved Hinduism and saved India. But for him we would have lost our religion and would not have gained our freedom. We therefore owe everything to Swami Vivekananda. May his faith, his courage and his wisdom ever inspire us so that we may keep safe the treasure we have received from him.”​ 

Romain Rolland: “The Indian nationalist movement smoldered for a long time until Vivekananda’s breath blew the ashes into flame, and erupted violently three years after his death in 1902.”​ 

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: “The foundation of the present freedom movement owes its origin to Swami-ji’s message. If India is to be free, it cannot be a land especially of Hinduism or Islam – it must be one united land of different religions inspired by the ideal of nationalism. And for that Indians must accept whole heartedly the gospel of harmony of religions.”​
