MESSAGE FOR THE GET-TOGETHER 25 JUNE 2011

Each soul is potentially divine – so said Swami Vivekananda – a well-known patriot saint of India. Each soul is potentially divine but this divinity is not manifested unless and until is interconnected between different souls. The totality of different souls is the right place where the divinity manifest itself in various lives of the members.

Renunciation and Service are the twin ideals which entrust every people always and everywhere and those people will become great and happy who acquire these two ideals.

I am very happy that the members connected with Ramakrishna Vivekananda Mission, Barrackpore, West Bengal try to preach and practice these two ideals in their lives and that is why they are in the process of manifesting the divinity in their minds to become one with all humanity irrespective of Caste, Creed, Religion and region.

Wishing you all success,
With best wishes,
From
Swami Nityananda
General Secretary
Ramakrishna Vivekananda Mission
