SWAMI VIVEKANAND AND HIS CLOTHS

Once swami Vivekananda was travelling. He was wearing this typical orange monk robe.
Someone asked him, "why don't you wear some good clothes?"

Swami replied, " For you it is the clothes that makes the gentleman, but for me It is the character that makes one."

BE MORAL AND BE BRAVE, SWAMI 'S MOTO

As a boy, Vivekananda was called Narendra.
Once in school, a teacher doubted narendra for a mischief he didnt did.
When naren denied it , the teacher became furious and gave him punishment. But still naren denied the mischief.

After some time, the teacher realised that what he did was wrong and error was of someone else's. He went to naren and apologized. Then after everything was played by respect and regard.

Naren came home and narrated the incident to his mother.
His mother said, " it doesn't matter if you got punished, but always do what is right and what is true. No matter what."

He followed this lesson throughout his life.

SWAMI VIVEKANAND AND MONKEYES

one time after visiting a temple, swami vivekananda was crossing a place which had a tank on one side and wall on the other.
there was a group of monkey not allowing swami to cross.
They started to snatch him and trying to get hold of his belongings.
Swami after some trying, started to run. But as Vivekananda ran, the monkeys got even bolder.
After failing to escape, Vivekananda heard a monk shouting, " Face the Brutes!"
Words had a magical impact on Vivekananda, he turned back, stood his ground and faced the monkeys.
As he did that, the monkeys their ways and ran away.
Vivekananda thanked the monk with traditional 'namaste'. The monk started walking his way and swami his.

Like those monkeys, there will be mischiefs, negative thoughts, trouble and difficult situations coming your way. Never run. Turn back and "Face the brutes". they will disappear.

SWAMI JI AN HIS PERESNCE OF MIND

Swami Vivekananda was travelling in a train. He was wearing a wrist watch gifted to him by a raja.

There were some girls making fun of Vivekananda by the way he looks and his clothes. They decided to play a prank.

They said to swami to give the watch to them or else they will complain the cops that Vivekananda was physically harassing them.

Swami acted as a deaf and made a sign to the girls that to write what they want to say.
Girls wrote and gave the paper to vivekananda.

Then Vivekananda spoke,
"Call the cops, I have a complaint to make."

This was Vivekananda, wity and present in every moment.
