His exceptional courage and leadership qualities were first witnessed when he was just of six. Along with younger relative, he had gone to the Charhak Fair which is held in honour of Lord Shiva. There he bought some idols of Shiva. When the two boys were returning home it was beginning to get dark. Due to the crowd, the two friends got separated from each other.
At that moment, a horse-drawn carriage came charging at a great speed. It made people run in confusion .When Naren looked around for his friend, he was horrified to see him standing in the way of the carriage. Another few seconds and this boy would have been trampled over, and killed. Showing an exceptional presence of mind, Naren put the Shiva idols under his left arm and rushed towards the boy. In one swift movement, he pulled his friend to one side, thus saving him by the skin of his teeth. A grave accident was thus avoided.
The crowd was wonderstruck at young Naren’s courage and bravery. They all praised him for his boldness, and also for his presence of mind. On reaching home, he related the incident to his mother. She was beside herself with joy and broke into tear, saying, “Always be a man, my son!”

Born Great
Swami Vivekananda was born on 12 January 1863 . Swami Vivekananda was earlier known as Narendra or Naren. From his very childhood, he showed sign of greatness. He had great courage, great intelligence and greater wisdom.
He was a gifted child with a sense of love and fellow-feeling for everyone around him. He was equally concerned about the animals and plants. On many occasions, he showed a presence of mind that even people older that him could not have easily shown. Naren was born ‘great ‘!
Rightly, it has been said that coming events cast their shadows beforehand. This was always the case with Naren even when he was a school-going boy and late on USA, where he was virtually treated as an ‘Uncrowned King’. He was not the one to run away from any difficulties or danger, whatever the cost maybe. It was this extraordinary boldness and determination that won him respect from one and all.
Even as a young child, Naren was always engaged in some activity or the other. He was an ever restless spirit. In the words of the great seer, Sri Aurobindo, “His spirit was like a sea of living fire!”
In later years, talking to his disciple, Mr. E.T. Sturdy in England, Swamiji had said, “In my childhood, I used to observe an inexhaustible energy arising in me, overflowing my body, as it were. I used to become restless and could not keep quiet.”
A follower of Vedanta, he was a deeply spiritual being. He poke as though his was the voice of God! He was always speaking of love and universal brotherhood. In the language of the poet, Sri Aurobindo, he was,
“ A foster child of beauty and solitude,
A brother of sunshine and sky!”
It was this sort of spirit that won him friends even in foreign lands. When he uttered just five words in the Parliament of Religion at Chicago, on Spetember 11,1893 it created a stir. He said,
“Sisters and brothers of America”
An audience of seven thousand stood up and cheered him loudly for full three minutes. It was the result of his atma shakti or the inner strength.
He was a great lover of the Upanishads. A worshipper of Shakti his message was,
“Everything is within you, you willed it and it appeared before you.”
Swami Vivekananda has rightly been hailed as the Prophet of Divinity. He may as well be called the Prophet of a New India, a resurgent India!

शिवजी का वरदान
कलकत्ता एक बहुत बार शहर है और शिमला उसके एक मुहल्ले का नाम है । अब से सो साल पहले की बात है । उसी मुहल्ले के एक घर में भुवनेश्वरी देवी , भगवन शिव की पूजा कर रही थी। प्रतिदिन शिवजी की पूजा करने के बाद प्रणाम करते समयवे कहती,"प्रभु,मेरी गोद में एक बच्चा दे दो।" उनकी कई पुत्रिया थी,परन्तु बिना पुत्र के काम कैसे चलता ? इसीलिए वे पुत्र की कामना से प्रतिदिन पूजा देने के लिए उन्हने अपनी एक वृद्ध नातेदारिन से कह रखा था ।
सरल हृदय से और भक्ति के साथ कोई भगवन से कुछ कहे, तो भगवन उसकी सुनते है। उन्होंने भुवनेश्वरी देवी की प्राथना भी सुनी। १२ जनुअरी १८६३ के दिन बरे सवेरे उन्हें एक पुत्र हुआ ।
वह पौष महीने की संगक्रांति का दिन था। पास की महिलाये गंगा स्नान करने गई थी। भुवनेश्वरी देवी के घर से शंख की आवाज सुनकर वे सभी दूरी चली आयी
This child only became famous by the name Swami Vivekanada . His father's name was Vishwanath Dutt . He was वकील थे. How earn enough and spend also fully . दस दसियों और गाड़ी घओदों से उनके घर में चहल पहल रहती थी। वे बारे दानी भी थे। उनके अन्ने पर अनेको लोग पलते थे।
विश्वनाथ के पिता दुर्गाचारना दत्त विश्वनाथ का जन्म होते ही घर छोर कर चले गए थे। वे जाकर सन्यासी हो गएऔर फिर जो घर से निकले फिर कभी नही लोटे।
