Stumbled upon a very interesting fact yesterday.
Three great sons of India had gone to the Ramakrishna Math and Mission to take sanyas,the life of a monk. In all these cases the Math-Mission saw that these young boys were meant for a different kind of service to the nation
Three great sons of India had gone to the Ramakrishna Math and Mission to take sanyas,the life of a monk. In all these cases the Math-Mission saw that these young boys were meant for a different kind of service to the nation
and gently refused or discouraged them. All three rose to dizzying heights. Here is their story.
The first was Subhas Chandra Bose. He went to the Varanasi Ashram. Swami Brahmanandaji gently refused him sanyas. He is our revered Netaji!

The second was a former professor...
of zoology from Varanasi,a young Maharashtrian man called Madhav Sadashivrao Golwalkar. In his case he succeeded in becoming a Brahmachari under Swami Akhandanandaji and stayed in the Sargachhi Ashram in Murshidabad doing famine relief work despite discouraging. After
Akhandanandaji left his earthly abode he also left the Mission and joined the RSS to become its second Sarsanghchalak. He nursed it and conceived of Vividh Sangathanas like the Bharatiya Jan Sangh. He is Param Pujaniya Guruji to all of us Swayamsevaks.

And the third?...
None other than Narendra Damodardas Modi! After leaving school he came to Swami Atmasthanandaji at the Ahmedabad Ashram to seek sanyas. He was sent to Belur Math,where the senior monks refused him because he was not yet a graduate. He then went to the Himalayas and...
wandered about like Sadhus. Later he came back and joined the RSS. The rest is history.
What an institution Swami Vivekananda founded that could attract such brilliant minds and moreover could discern that they were not meant to be monks but serve the people in other ways!...
