Existing Book Collection Display

As a regular monthly feature library will be displaying books on Swami Vivekananda to mark his birth anniversary on 12th January. All library members are requested to please visit the library and get a chance to peruse through books on this great soul. Swami Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated as the National Youth Day.

A Message of him:

"Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep; you are souls immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal; ye are not matter, ye are not bodies; matter is your servant, not you the servant of matter"

Some of his famous quotes are:
“All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.”

“We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.”

“The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.”
