 • Swami Vivekananda Education

 In 1871, at the age of 8, Swami Vivekananda was admitted to the Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar Metropolitan Institute, until 1877 when his family was established in Raipur, Narendra attended the school.

 In 1879, after his family returned to Calcutta, he became the first student to take the first division in the entrance examination of the Presidency College.  He was a keen reader of various subjects like philosophy, religion, history, social sciences, art and literature.

 He was also very interested in Hindu scriptures such as Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata and Purana.

 Narendra was proficient in Indian traditional music, and was always a participant in physical yoga, sports and all activities.  Narendra had also studied Western logic, Western life and European history from the General Assembly Institute.

 In 1881, he passed the fine arts exam, and in 1884 completed a Bachelor of Arts degree.

 Narendra has David Hume, Emmanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fitch, Baruch Spinoza, George W. F.F.  Hegel, Arthur Schopenhauer, Auguste Comte, John Stuart Mill and Charles Darwin also practiced.

 While he was practicing Western philosophers, he also read Sanskrit texts and Bengali literature.  William Hasti (President of the General Assembly Society) wrote, "Narendra is really smart, I have traveled far and wide but I and the students of philosophy of German University have never been ahead of Narendra's mind and skill  To go ”.

 Some people called Narendra as Shrutidhara (a person with fierce memory).

 • With Ramakrishna

 In 1881 Narendra met Ramakrishna for the first time, who after the death of Narendra's father mainly threw spiritual light on Narendra.

 Narendra introduced himself to Ramakrishna while William Hasti was delivering a speech on William Wordsworth's poem "Tourism" at the General Assembly's institution.  As he was explaining the meaning of one word of the poem "Trance", he told his students that he met Ramakrishna located in Dakshineswar to find out what it meant.

 His talk inspired many students to meet Ramakrishna, including Narendra.

 They met in person in November 1881, but Narendra did not consider it his first meeting with Ramakrishna, nor did anyone see that meeting as Narendra and Ramakrishna's first meeting.  At that time Narendra was preparing for his upcoming F.A. (Fine Arts) examination.

 When Ramakrishna was to go to Surendra Nath Mitra's house to deliver his speech, he kept Narendra with him.

 According to Paranjpe, "During that meeting Ramakrishna asked young Narendra to sing something.  And fascinated by the art of his songs, he told Narendra to walk with him to Dakshineswar.

 In late 1881 and early in 1882, Narendra went to Dakshineswar with two of his friends and he met Ramakrishna.  This meeting became the biggest turning-point of his life.

 Soon he did not accept Ramakrishna as his mentor, nor did he ever go against his ideas.  He was just impressed with his character and that's why he went quickly to Dakshineswar.  He soon saw Ramakrishna's ultimate bliss and dream as "imagined things of imagination" and "hallucinations".  As a member of the Brahmo Samaj, he was opposed to idol worship, polytheism and worship of Kali Devi of Ramakrishna.

 He rejected Advaita Vedanta's "completely equating" as divine condemnation and lunacy, and ridiculed him.  Narendra also took the test of Ramakrishna, who (Ramakrishna) endured the controversy patiently and said, "Try to know the truth from all perspectives".

 Narendra's father died suddenly in 1884 and the family had become insolvent, the moneylender was demanding the return of the loan, and his relatives also removed their rights from their ancestor's home.

 Narendra wanted to do something good for his family, he had become the poorest student in his college.  Unsuccessfully, they started looking for some work and the question of the existence of God was created in front of them, where Ramakrishna got comforted with him and he went to Dakshineswar.

 One day Narendra asks Ramakrishna to pray to Kali Mata for the financial well being of his family.  And on the advice of Ramakrishna, he went to the temple thrice, but he failed to ask for what he needed every time and he prayed to take himself to the path of truth and do good to the people.

 At that time, for the first time Narendra had realized God and since that time Narendra had accepted Ramakrishna as his Guru.

 In 1885, Ramakrishna had throat cancer, and due to this he had to go to Calcutta and later to Cossipore Gardens.

 Narendra and his other companions served him in the last days of Ramakrishna, and at the same time Narendra's spiritual education began.

 In Cossipore, Narendra experienced nirvikalpa samadhi.  Narendra and his other disciples took saffron attire from Ramakrishna, obeying his orders like an ascetic.

 Ramakrishna in his last days taught him that serving man is the greatest worship of God.

 Ramakrishna tells Narendra to take care of his monks, and that he wants to see Narendra like a guru.  And Ramakrishna received God in the morning on August 16, 1886 at Cossipore.

 • death

 On 4 July 1902 (the day of his death) Vivekananda woke up early in the morning, and went to worship at the worship house of Belur Math and later did yoga for 3 hours.

 He taught the students about Shukla-Yajur-Veda, Sanskrit and Yoga Sadhana, later discussed with his mates and discussed building a Vedic college at Ramakrishna Math.

 7 P.M.  Vivekananda went to his room, and persuaded his disciple to disturb the peace, and died while doing yoga on 9 P.M.
