Puttur, Jan 12: Swami Vivekananda was the one, who set the idea of 'Daridra Narayana Devoja' globally. He was against casteism and untouchability. He had realized that India could attain incredible growth with the science and technology of Western nations, noted Kannada professor of Maharani College of Mysore and ABVP national vice-president Dr. BV Vasanth Kumar.
He was speaking at the Vivekananda Jayanthi -2019 program organised by Vivekananda Vidyavardhaka Sangha here.
"While the different religions of the world claim that man was a sinner, financial animal, political animal; Vivekananda said that man was an Amrutaputra (son of immortality). Vivekananda is not limited to Hinduism or India. Instead, he belongs to the religion of the world. For this reason, Vivekananda is worshiped in the world," Vasanth Kumar said.
Vivekananda Vidyavardhaka Sangha Secretary Dr.KM Krishna Bhat presided over the function.
Vivekananda Vidyavrdhaka Sangha Vice President Dr. Sudha Rao welcomed, and treasurer Surendra Kini proposed the vote of thanks.
