Tributes to Swami Vivekananda

India and several countries are heartily celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, one of the greatest the world has ever seen.A A redoubtable harbinger of renaissance movement, and an undaunted representative of Hinduism and Vedanta culture, he championed the cause of the oppressed, marginalised and illiterate sections. He tirelessly propagated the Hindu dharma and Vedanta abroad. Already hundreds of books have been written on him, highlighting his most valuable contribution by several scholars of repute. However, tributes can never be complete. The Hans India thought it befitting and appropriate to enlighten its valuable readers, particularly the youngsters, with a plethora of tributes and articles by some eminent Indians and his foreign disciples. It will carry a daily column titled 'Legends on Vivekananda' in Young Hans from Monday.
