What Mohan Bhagwat Actually Said

 

Athmano Mokshartham, Jagath Hithayacha

The historic time has arrived again. The golden opportunity to project the greatest icon of modern day Hinduism- Swami Vievekananda - and his ideals in to the limelight. January 12th 2013, is Swami Vivekanada's 150th birth anniversary. From the perception of an ordinary man, there is nothing special about this. And even for ordinary fans of Swamiji, they might wonder what is so special about the 150th birth anniversary, compared to 148th or 149th ?
