“Lord
Parthasarathy is there for us, ready to be our Sarathy in Life and guide us all
the way through if we are ready to offer selfless service”
Calls for 'Life-long sacrifice' to uplift the Poor and the Oppressed
A Sacrificial Journey will be full of 'Deadly Thorns' but believe in Lord Parthasarathy and you will succeed
A Sacrificial Journey will be full of 'Deadly Thorns' but believe in Lord Parthasarathy and you will succeed
This day
120years ago (August 20, 1893), Swami Vivekananda sent a letter to Alasinga
Perumal of Triplicane wherein he showered heaps of praise on Lord
Parthasarathy.
Calling Lord
Parthasarathy as a friend of the poor, he directs us to the Parthasarathy Perumal
temple to seek the Lord’s blessings. 'Take a bow before Lord Parthasarathy of Thiruvallikeni and give an undertaking before Him of a great
sacrifice, one of a whole life for the poor, the lowly and the oppressed - for
whom Lord Parthasarathy comes from time to time and whom he loves above
all.'
Swami Vivekananda asks us
to take a vow to devote our whole lives to the cause of redemption of the
300million poor 'who are going down and down every day.'
Sacrificial Journey will be full of deadly thorns
While he
cautions us that this is not the work of just one day saying that the path is full
of most deadly thorns, he gives us the confidence that Lord Parthasarathy of
Thiruvallikeni is there for us ready to be our Sarathy in Life and guide us all
the way through if we are ready to offer selfless service.
Swami
Vivekananda wants us to have eternal faith in Lord Parthasarathy and asks us to
set fire to the mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages. He
says 'the misery can be easily burnt down.'
Despite the task ahead of each one of us being a grand
one, especially in light of the fact that 'currently we are all so low', he reminds us that we are the sons of
Light and children of God. Belief in Lord Parthasarathy and reposing trust in Him will help us succeed in all our endeavours, concludes Swami Vivekananda.

Sir,
Thanks for your kind words.
He has written that letter to a person - Alasinga Perumal- known to him in Triplicane.
It may be a short- friendly- form for Azhagiya Singa Perumal...but his letter has been addressed as 'Alasinga Perumal'
Prabhu
The mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages . The misery can be easily burnt down .
Swamiji is referring to what misery ?
It is very obvious .
The persecution of Sanatan Vedic Dharma .
Swamiji wsa not only a great Yogi and Guru but also nationalist
Swami Vivekanand was a Bengali by birth and in Bengali there is no V or zya so when he addresses In English he uses ALASINGA
SWAMI IS A VEERA SANYASI HE IS NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE LANGUAGE NOW YOU SEE ANOTHER NARENDRA (MODI) HAS BUILT CONCRETE HOUSES AND TOILETS FOR POOR AND MAKING THEM LAKSHATHIPATHI
