Indira Gandhi On Swami Vivekananda

We have already an article on Jawaharlal Nehru's quotes and comments on Swami Vivekananda. We have also written Swami Vivekananda's quotes on Indian National Congress.

Now in this article we're going write on ex Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi's quotes and comments on Swami Vivekananda.

Indira Gandhi told—
Swamiji's teachings, writings, and speeches
which appear on every page of his works,
are indeed stimulant.

I had had the great fortune to know about the life and teachings of Swami Vivekananda as well as about the activities of the Ramakrishna Mission. My parents and specially my mother were very close with the Ramakrishna Mission. And I must say that the teachings of Vivekananda had inspired all the members of the Nehru family both in their political activities and day-to-day lives.

Swamiji's teachings, writings, and speeches which appear on every page of his works, are indeed stimulant. Swamiji provides us courage, strength, and faith and teaches us how to be self-sufficient. These are the basic tenets of life which India needed most and which would be relevant for all time to come.

Swamiji has taught us that we are the inheritors of a glorious and sublime culture. He has at the same time shown us and analysed the root causes of our national malady. It was Swami Vivekananda who has given us the ways and means how to reconstruct a new India. Swamiji preached the message of universal brotherhood. And a single word echoed and reached in all his speeches, was abhih i.e. fearlessness.
