Swami Vivekananda was perhaps one of the greatest thinkers and philosophers the world has ever witnessed. He was born as Narendranath Dutta into an aristocratic Bengali family of Calcutta.

He was born on January 12, 1863, and died on July 4, 1902—lived until the age of 39. Yet his contribution in inspiring young minds remains untouched!
