Vivekananda Meeting his Guru and taking Sanyas
The relative of Swami Vivekananda, Dr Ramchandra Dutt, who had been grown in his home, was Shri Ramkrishna Paramhansa’s devotee. In Vivekananda’s childhood, Dr Ramchandra Dutt noticed those religious feelings inspired him very much that he was entertaining renunciation.
Dr Ramchandra Dutt told him that, If you want to enrich the religion greatly, don’t involve yourself in the Brahmo Samaj or others. Just visit Dakshineswar and meet Shri Ramkrishna over there. Vivekananda met Shri Ramkrishna at his neighbour’s house.
In the beginning, Shri Ramkrishna won’t permit Swami Vivekananda to leave his side at once. Swami Vivekananda used to sit next to him. And Shri Ramkrishna gave him a lot of advice and counsel. Both persons had excellent personal discussions.
Then, Shri Ramkrishna decided to convey the responsibility of his incomplete Mission to Swami Vivekananda. On a piece of paper, Shri Ramkrishna wrote, Viveknada will accomplish the Mission of enlightening the masses. Swami Vivekananda, in hesitation, answered, “I will not be able to execute the mission.” With an incredible will, Shri Ramkrishna said, “Why, “you won’t be able to execute this”?
Your bones will accomplish the Mission?” Then, Shri Ramkrishna incited Narendranath on the course of Sanyas. Also, offered him a new name, Swami Vivekananda.
One incident in his school time was, while he had an English language class, Swami Vivekananda spoke, “I will not learn the language of the white master.” For almost 7 to 8 months, he refrained from learning the English language. Swami Vivekananda later learned the English language owing to compulsion. He stood first in the matriculation exam.
And counting on the glory of his school and family. Vivekananda joined the Presidency College in Kolkata and finished his M.A. in Philosophy for further studies.
Swami Vivekananda established the Ramakrishna Mission.
After the Mahasamadhi of Sri Ramkrishna Paramhansa, Swami Vivekananda, with his mate Taraknath, also one devotee of Ramkrishna, launched the Mission. They started the exercises from a dilapidated building located at Varahnagar, near Kolkata. Previously it was acknowledged as a haunted house. Swami Vivekananda held the human ashes of Shri Ramkrishna and other things at the place. Shortly Shri Ramkrishna’s devotees began living there.

Education is not the load of knowledge that is never understandable in the whole life and only filled in the brains. Education is the one that will form ‘human’ acceptable character. And teaching good thoughts. Your education will be more profitable if you learn everything by heart. Just learn 4 to 5 suitable thoughts and attempt to teach them yourself.
