@Windsofchange72 Don't abuse him.Its his opinion and experience. He only glorified the Vishnu though his school of thought or philosophy differs. We can disagree with him and keep silent.
@astroshastri108@bikashhansia is important and not fear. Plz do not inculcate fear unnecessarily. Lalitha invokes chakras and so recite carefully sitting in one place while Vishnu sahasranama removes all negativity and gives positive energy. There is difference between Slokas, Mantras, etc...
@astroshastri108@bikashhansia Bhakti is not whims & fancies. It starts with fear or with wishes but ends up in selfless bhakti. Manasika Japa has no swara dosha. Few forms of deities might demand strictness but most of them are Shanti forms. That is the reason we recite in end 'Kaayena vaacha...' Discipline
@SHASHANKMUKHERJ@sathyashrii@grok I am not sure on % but noticed a significant drop in mileage. Itseems premium has less E20 mixing and so noticed that with premium there is no sibnificant drop in mileage.
End Days of Swami Vivekananda
at Belur.
He passed away in 1902 at the age of just 39. It was 9:10 p.m. at Belur Math.
It was reported that that night his disciples had prepared Hilsa fish. He had early supper and took bed. He was an acute diabetic, yet made no limitations of food. In fact he had jastic n other diseases also.
Words spread in the morning.
Yet no news reporters arrived, and remarkably, none of the newspapers published in Bengal carried the news of his death the following day. Nor did any prominent political leader or celebrated Bengali publicly express condolences. It is astonishing to think about.
In fact those days Daksineswar and Belur were known as residencies of lunatics.
Throughout his short life, Swami Vivekananda endured humiliation, neglect, and repeated rejection.
His father's was a wealthy lawyer. After his death, his uncles drove them out from their house.He had to fight legal battles with relatives over family property and had to appear in court on numerous occasions.
His mother lived in extreme poverty. Every morning he would leave home in search of employment, wandering from office to office. Many days, knowing there was no rice, lentils, oil, or salt at home to feed his mother, he would tell his mother, "Don't cook for me today, Mother. I've been invited to a friend's house for dinner." In reality, there was no invitation. He often went hungry so that the rest of the family could eat.
He struggled with poverty throughout his life. At the age of 23, he secured a teaching position at the Metropolitan Institution, founded by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar.
However, the headmaster—Vidyasagar's son-in-law—disliked Narendra Nath Datta and reportedly had him dismissed, alleging that he did not teach well. This happened despite his extraordinary intellect, scholarship, and eloquence.
Even abroad, a Bengali religious leader allegedly spread false rumours that Vivekananda had several wives, ten or twelve children, and was nothing more than a fraud and a gambler. 💥
"Many times I have passed days without food. I felt that perhaps I would die that very day. Then I would rise, crying, 'Victory to Brahman!' and declare: 'I have no fear. I know neither death nor hunger. I am beyond thirst. What power does the world have to destroy me?'"
When the ailing Swami Vivekananda returned to Calcutta after achieving worldwide acclaim, many prominent Bengalis reportedly declined to attend or organise a public reception in his honour. Eventually, Paryichand Mitra agreed but is said to have remarked that since Vivekananda was a Kayastha rather than a Brahmin, he could not truly be a monk and would therefore address him merely as "Brother Vivekananda."
By 1898, Americans were deeply inspired by his speeches and writings, while many in his own homeland remained indifferent.
That same year, the sick Swami consulted the renowned physician Dr. Rasiklal Dutt at his clinic on Sadar Street in Calcutta.
There is no known photograph of Swami Vivekananda after his death. Nor is there an officially preserved death certificate, despite the existence of the Bally–Belur Municipality at the time.
Ironically, that same municipality imposed an amusement tax on Belur Math.
Some people even mocked the monastery, dismissing it as a gathering place for idle young men and using insulting nicknames such as "Bichitra Ananda" or "Bibi-ka-Ananda"—
Being frustated he once said,
"Only another Vivekananda could truly understand what this Vivekananda has accomplished."
Swami Vivekananda now is
revered across India and around the world. Yet during his own lifetime, he endured poverty, insults, and neglect.

@Padmaja_Yatra Lord Rama and Maa Sita are an embodiment of a complete personality. Both (Ranbir Kapor and Sai Pallavi) lack that. We are not against them but we are againt mockery of our culture and Gods. We did not accept Prabhas as well in Adi Pusrush due to that reasons.
@Padmaja_Yatra Grace, Dignity,Resilience, Courage are some of the qualities of Maa Sita. In south Indian movies we used to have KR Vijaya amma enact as Goddess. There were more beautiful actresses than her but still we used to feel like prostrating on her feet the moment you see her. That is
@Padmaja_Yatra the dignity in personality not just by physical glamour but due to that auspicious smile,gentle expression, warmth,tradition grace,inner calmness, expressive eyes carrying that emotional depth and intense gaze, etc. Sai Pallavi is no where near to few qualities.
