Awaken the Giant: A Tribute to Swami Vivekananda

They called him Narendra first—
a boy with fire in his heart,
a mind that danced with stars
while the city slept in the dark.
His questions shook the ground:

"Don’t give me words or songs—
I want to feel it in my youth!"

To Swami Girijatmananda

You'd embroidered the Inferno
sewn with the thread
of supple beauty,
endowed Ganguria
with philosophical
profundity and great altitude
of enlightenment.
You'd reconciled
an old skirmish
between disdain
and phobia.
O God, you made
Ganguria an ultimate abode
decked with platonic ideal
of love and mosaic complexion

if awareness be unbroken
signalling ego forsaken
light of God consciousness draws near
maya veils drop; truth becomes clear

Who Is Swami Sez

"Who is 'Swami Sez?'
It's the pseudonym
for b.e. singer
(Bruce E. Singer)...

brings 'upliftment, wit and wisdom'
as an insightful 'shining light bringer'"

Yogi Swami Vivekananda

Once a yogi, of the century,
has deep faith in youth of country.
Said the yogi to youth of today,
talk to yourself once a day.

You have to grow from inside out,
which will make your country happy and proud.
Blood of youth got filled with enthusiasm,
he taught them truth and national spiritualism.

Helplessness in heart make you shiver,
just have confidence
