Dimensions of Personality Development

Strengthening of will-power, the essence of personality development: 

The divine core of our personality is covered, as it were, by five dimensions:

• Physical dimension consisting of our body and senses.
• Energy dimension which performs digestion of food, circulation of blood, respiration and other activities in the body.
• Mental dimension characterized by the activities of the mind, like, thinking, feeling and emotions, etc.
• Intellectual dimension characterized by the determinative faculty in a person. This is also the seat of discrimination and will-power.
• Blissful dimension experienced as bliss during deep sleep.

Each succeeding dimension is subtler than the preceding one and pervades it.

Personality development implies progressive identification with higher dimensions of personality. Thus a person identified only with the physical dimension without exercising his higher mental faculties, lives not far different from animals, whose pleasure and pain are restricted to the sensory system.

Development involves struggle with one's lower mind characterized by desires, old habits, wrong tendencies, impulses and bad impressions The lesser we identify with the lower mind, and the more we identify with the higher mind, and exercise our buddhi (discrimination) the more developed will our personality be. This involves struggle to grapple with one's mind and its old habits, to cultivate new and wholesome ones. But this struggle is the greatest of all struggles in that it makes us civilized in the real sense of the term by manifesting our divinity and thereby our hidden perfection.

In other words, these dimensions can also be referred as the Panchakoshas namely:

• Annamaya Kosha 
• Pranamaya Kosha
• Manomaya Kosha
• Vijnamaya Kosha
• Anandmaya Kosha

Kali, the Mother

Kali the Mother is a poem written by Swami Vivekananda. Swamiji wrote the poem in 1898 when he was staying in Kashmir, on a houseboat, on Dal Lake in Srinagar.

The stars are blotted out,
The clouds are covering clouds,
It is darkness vibrant, sonant.
In the roaring, whirling wind
Are the souls of a million lunatics
Just loose from the prison-house,
Wrenching trees by the roots,
Sweeping all from the path.
The sea has joined the fray,
And swirls up mountain-waves,
To reach the pitchy sky.
The flash of lurid light
Reveals on every side
A thousand, thousand shades
Of Death begrimed and black —
Scattering plagues and sorrows,
Dancing mad with joy,
Come, Mother, come!
For Terror is Thy name,
Death is in Thy breath,
And every shaking step
Destroys a world for e’er.
Thou “Time”, the All-Destroyer!
Come, O Mother, come!
Who dares misery love,
And hug the form of Death,
Dance in Destruction’s dance,
To him the Mother comes.

एक ऐसा युवा

                           

                 एक ऐसा युवा

एक ऐसा युवा जिसने युवाओं को शक्ति के रूप में परिलक्षित किया। 

एक ऐसा युवा जिसने भारतीय दर्शन, धर्म एवं संस्कृति को सम्पूर्ण विश्व के समक्ष प्रतिबिंबित किया। 

एक ऐसा युवा जिसने सम्पूर्ण विश्व को "वसुधैव कुटुंबकम" के भारतीय दृष्टिकोण से अवगत कराया। 

एक ऐसा युवा जिसने अपने ज्ञान की गंगा से सारी दुनिया का शुद्धिकरण किया। 

एक ऐसा युवा जो न केवल भारत अपितु सम्पूर्ण विश्व के युवाओं का आदर्श बना। 

एक ऐसा युवा जिस पर स्वयं  भारत माता को भी गर्व हुआ होगा। 

एक ऐसा युवा जो मात्र 39 वर्ष के अपने अल्प जीवन काल में ज्ञान एवं अध्यात्म का ध्रुव तारा बन  समस्त जगत पर छा गया और युवाओं के लिए सन्मार्ग का एक आदर्श पथ प्रदर्शक बना । 

आज के दिन उन्ही चिर युवा अनुकर्णीय व्यक्तित्व जिन्हें सारी  दुनिया स्वामी विवेकानंद जी के नाम से जानती है, के जन्मोत्सव को सारा भारत " राष्ट्रीय युवा दिवस " के रूप में मनाता है। 

12 जनवरी,1863 को नरेंद्र नाथ दत्त  के रूप में एक प्रकाश पुंज बंगाल के कायस्थ परिवार में भारतीय धरा पर अवतरित हुए। 

जिन्हे गुरु रामकृष्ण परमहंस जी का मार्ग दर्शन प्राप्त हुआ।
सन 1893 में अमेरिका के शिकागो में आयोजित विश्व धर्म महासभा में सनातन धर्म का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हुए भारत के  आध्यात्मिक वेदांत दर्शन को अमेरिका यूरोप सहित पूरे विश्व में पहुंचाया। 

अपने गुरु रामकृष्ण परमहंसजी के नाम पर ही उन्होंने रामकृष्ण मिशन की स्थापना की जो आज भी कार्यशील है।

4 जुलाई 1902 को मात्र 39 वर्ष की अल्प आयु में माँ भारती का ये लाल सम्पूर्ण विश्व को ज्ञान का प्रकाश से आलोकित कर भारत माता की गोद में चिर निद्रा में लीन हो गया .

Commemoration of the 125th Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda’s Chicago Addresses

It is a well known fact that 125 years ago on 11th September 1893, Swami Vivekananda proclaimed  India’s Spiritual, cultural and intellectual greatness at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago.  His unflinching patriotism gave a new colour to the national movement throughout India and his heroic lectures are source of inspiration for the development of our nation in many fields, like arts, science, spirituality, etc.

Let us again hear the Historic Chicago Address and feel the import of the ideas.......

At the World's Parliament of Religions, Chicago 
11th September, 1893

Sisters and Brothers of America,

It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world ; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions ; and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects.

My thanks, also, to some of the speakers on this platform who, referring to the delegates from the orient, have told you that these men from far-off nations may well claim the honour of bearing to different lands the idea of toleration. I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance.We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy temple was sheltered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation. I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day repeated by millions of human beings : "As the different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so O Lord, the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee."

The present convention, which is one of the august assemblies ever held, is in itself a vindication, a declaration to the world of the wonderful doctrine preached in the Gita ; "Whosoever comes to Me, through whatsoever form, I reach him ; all men are struggling through paths which in the end lead to me." Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilisation and sent whole nations to despair.Had it not been for these horrible demons,human society would be far more advanced than it is now. Bur their time is come ; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honour of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal.

Personality Development: Central Message of Swami Vivekananda

What was the central message of Swami Vivekananda ?

Swami Vivekananda’s lectures, talks, letters, poems -his life’s work-is published in nine volumes entitled The complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. Is there any central message of Swamiji that runs through the pages of these nine volumes? Let us hear Swamiji himself: ’My ideal can be put into a few words and that is: to preach unto mankind their divinity, and how to make it manifest in every movement of life.’ Man’s inherent divinity was Swamiji’s central message. The following famous quotation of Swamiji can be our mantra for personality development: ‘Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal.’

Swamiji was never tired of rousing people to be conscious of their inherent divinity and perfection. He wanted this divinity to manifest in our day to day lives. In fact, he held this manifestation of divinity as the sole index of civilization of human-kind:

“A nation may conquer the waves, control the elements, develop the utilitarian problems of life seemingly to the utmost limits, and yet not realize that in the individual, the highest type of civilization is found in him who has learned to conquer self.”

“This universe is simply a gymnasium in which the soul is taking exercise; and after these exercises we become gods. So the value of everything is to be decided by how far it is a manifestation of God. Civilization is the manifestation of that divinity in man.”

This divinity in us is the repository of eternal existence, eternal knowledge and eternal bliss. The more it manifests, the more we experience abiding happiness and get supreme knowledge.

Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti

Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti is observed on Panchami Tithi during Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha month and usually falls between April and May. Adi Shankara was born in Kalady which is situated in Kerala, during 788 C.E. and he disappeared at young age of 32 in year 820 C.E. Shankaracharya consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanata (अद्वैत वेदान्त) and revived it at a time when Hindu culture was on decline.

The main knowledge of Adi Shankara is only one thing, everything is perishable. Thoughts come and go, feelings come and go. One day everything disappears. But you are the light that stays forever".

Lets celebrate today's day by feeling immensely blessed, totally full of gratitude towards our master. ❤

Adi ShankaraCharya, A great Saint and Philosopher........ May his Glory and Legacy keep alive Forever & Forever..........
