Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Namaskar from Kanyakumari – the Holy Feet of Bharatmata!
We are bringing out the Vivekananda Kendra Samachar of the Year April 2025 - March 26.
This year Kendra’s presence is in 18 Prants covering 25 States and 4 Union Territories.
We continue with “Sambhav Karen Asambhav Ko Bhi” (सम्भव करें असम्भव को भी) as Sadhana (साधना) during this year. Each and every work done with total surrender and instrument bhava for the good of Bharat turns into Sadhana. That makes every work achievable. The lead article Sadhana by Mananeeya Nivedita Didi, Vice President, gives us various facets of Sadhana in day to day life. Let us make each of our work a Worship.
We appeal you to continue your involvement and also spread a word to your colleagues to be a part of this National Yajna and actualize the vision of Swami Vivekananda of “Jagadguru Bharat”.
With regards and prayers,
Yours sincerely
Bhanudas Dhakras
General Secretary
AKHIL BHARATIYA ADHIKARI BAITHAK 2026
6-8 FEBRUARY 2026 BHILWARA, RAJASTHAN
341 Adhikaries, hailing from various Prants across the country, actively participated in this
three-day Akhil Bharatiya Baithak. During the inaugural session,
Mananeeya Hanumanthraoji, All India Vice-President of the Vivekananda Kendra,
spoke on the theme ‘Making the Impossible Possible’ (सम्भव करें असम्भव को भी) to the
entire gathering through a variety of contemporary and mythological examples.
He emphasized that we carry out our work through organizational strength,
selfless service, profound faith, and unwavering dedication.
It is through this alone that any task can be made
possible. Similarly—for the welfare of creation and in this monumental endeavor
for the resurgence of India—it is essential to realize that I, too, have a role
to play as a dedicated karyakarta. We, too, are instruments of the Divine work;
our work is, in essence, Divine work. Therefore, we must deeply comprehend the
significance of the responsibilities entrusted to us and the tasks assigned to
us by the organization. Citing
an episode from the Ramayana, he remarked, “The very moment Sri Rama and
Hanumanji first came into contact, the realization that ‘the impossible can be
made possible’ became evident. This meeting between the two marked a historic
occasion—the inception of the principles of organization and collective action.
During the search for Sita Mata, Hanumanji sat quietly to one side; yet, when
he was reminded of his boundless power and the purpose of his life, he assumed
a colossal form and took the leap. A description of this event can be found in
the Valmiki Ramayana. Hanumanji says—
दासोऽहं कोसेलेन्द्रस्य रामस्याक्लिष्टकर्मणः।
हनुमान् शत्रुसैन्यानां निहन्ता मारुतात्मजः॥
Daso’ham koselendrasya ramsyaklishtakarmanah.
Hanuman shatrusainyanam nihanta marutatmajah.
That is, I am the slave of Shri Ram, the King of Skills who does the most
difficult tasks with ease. I am Hanuman, the son of the wind and the destroyer
of enemy armies.
In the first line, Hanumanji's humility and servile attitude is expressed
and in the second line, Hanuman, the son of Pawan, who destroyed the enemy
army, is expressed.
During the Baithak discussions were held — collectively, Prant-wise, and
based on specific responsibility — to bring clarity to various subjects such as
Prashikshan (training), Karyapaddhati, the 'Amrit Parivar' initiative, and
Mahavidyalya Sthan (college-based activities), as well as to reinforce both the
quantitative and qualitative aspects of these areas.
Shri Alokji, Mananeeya Sah Sarkaryavah of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh,
delivered an interactive address that primarily served to provide clarity
regarding the significance of organizational Pravas. He remarked, "Just as
blood circulation is vital to the human body, so too is Pravas vital to an
organization."
If there is Pravas, everything is fine. Without Pravas, no work can be
accomplished. Without Pravas, nothing is possible.”
Mananeeya Nivedita Bhide, All India Vice-President of the Vivekananda
Kendra, said in her concluding lecture, “Our Hindu society should be organized.
India's destined task should be accomplished. India's role is crucial for the
welfare of the world. India must awaken. Everything depends on Hindu society.
Then the question arises, “Who is a Hindu? Who is referred to as a Hindu?” Upon
returning from his travels abroad, Swami Vivekananda undertook a
journey—spanning from Colombo to Almora—to awaken the nation. Through his
powerful oratory, he roused India from its slumber. It was while elucidating
these very points that Swami Vivekananda addressed a massive gathering in Lahore. She further added, “Mananeeya Eknathji used
to say: ‘India is a land of a God-oriented society. Nevertheless, there
remains a need for dedicated workers willing to devote their time to the
service of the Divine.’”
Today, there is much discussion regarding various problems. The Muslim
community appears increasingly assertive, while opposing forces are far
better-resourced. These are indeed challenges; yet, can we not direct our
thoughts toward finding solutions? What is the remedy? We must affirm our contribution,
our commitment, and our specific role in the service of the nation. Let the
pursuits of material prosperity (Artha) and worldly fulfillment (Kama)
be grounded in righteousness (Dharma), thereby guiding us forward
toward the ultimate liberation (Moksha). For if Dharma is
stripped from life—if the very pursuit of Moksha ceases
to be a guiding purpose—then Artha and Kama will
inevitably lead to utter and total destruction.
The meeting venue in Bhilwara was beautifully and tastefully adorned with
Rajasthani artwork by volunteers arriving from various Nagar across the Prant,
thereby allowing new visitors to fully experience the essence of Rajasthan's
traditions through its cuisine and warm hospitality.
