160 years of inspiration – a year-long celebration of the “lion among men” and his message that continues to resonate with all Indians…
Sri Aurobindo in speaking about Swami Vivekananda, said: “We perceive his influence still working gigantically, we know not well how, we know not well where, in something that is not yet formed, something leonine, grand, intuitive, upheaving that has entered the soul of India…”
It is this fragrance of his influence that lingers on and continues to inspire, motivate and guide each one of us at the Vivekananda Institute for Leadership Development (V-LEAD) and the Vivekananda Institute of Indian Studies (VIIS), units of the Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement (SVYM). It is in this context that the Vivekananda Lecture Series has been conceived and is in the process of being rolled out – a series of 12 lectures starting with the inaugural lecture on January 12, 2022 followed by a lecture on the 12th of every month, January through December 2022.
