- About the Legend
- </h1>
- <p>
- <b>Birth and Childhood</b>
- <br>
- Statue of Vivekananda at the Ramakrishna Mission Swami Vivekananda's Ancestral House and Cultural Centre
- Vivekananda was born Narendranath Datta (shortened to Narendra or Naren) in a Bengali family
- at his ancestral home at 3 Gourmohan Mukherjee Street in Calcutta,the capital of British India, on
- 12 January 1863 during the Makar Sankranti festival.He belonged to a traditional family and was one
- of nine siblings.His father, Vishwanath Datta, was an attorney at the
- <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcutta_High_Court"> Calcutta High Court.</a>
- Durgacharan Datta, Narendra's grandfather was a Sanskrit and Persian scholar who left his family and
- became a monk at age twenty-five.His mother, Bhubaneswari Devi, was a devout housewife.The
- progressive, rational attitude of Narendra's father and the religious temperament of his mother helped
- shape his thinking and personality.Narendranath was interested in spirituality from a young age
- and used to meditate before the images of deities such as Shiva, Rama, Sita, and Mahavir Hanuman.He
- was fascinated by wandering ascetics and monks.Narendra was naughty and restless as a child, and
- his parents often had difficulty controlling him. His mother said, "I prayed to Shiva for a son and he
- has sent me one of his demons"
- </p>

- <b> Education</b>
- <br> 1871, at the age of eight, Narendranath enrolled at
- <a href=" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishwar_Chandra_Vidyasagar">Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's</a>
- Metropolitan
- Institution, where he went to school until his family moved to Raipur in 1877.In 1879, after his
- family's return to Calcutta, he was the only student to receive first-division marks in the Presidency
- College entrance examination.He was an avid reader in a wide range of subjects, including
- philosophy, religion, history, social science, art and literature. He was also interested in Hindu
- scriptures, including the Vedas, the Upanishads,<a
- href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita">Bhagavad Gita,</a>the Ramayana, the Mahabharata
- and
- the Puranas. Narendra was trained in Indian classical music, and regularly participated in physical
- exercise, sports and organised activities. Narendra studied Western logic, Western philosophy and
- European history at the General Assembly's Institution (now known as the Scottish Church College).
- In 1881, he passed the Fine Arts examination, and completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1884.
- Narendra studied the works of David Hume, Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Baruch Spinoza, Georg
- W. F. Hegel, Arthur Schopenhauer, Auguste Comte, John Stuart Mill and Charles Darwin.He became
- fascinated with the evolutionism of Herbert Spencer and corresponded with him,translating
- Herbert Spencer's book Education (1861) into Bengali. While studying Western philosophers, he also
- learned Sanskrit scriptures and Bengali literature.
- William Hastie (principal of Christian College, Calcutta, from where Narendra graduated) wrote,
- "Narendra is really a genius. I have travelled far and wide but I have never come across a lad of his
- talents and possibilities, even in German universities, among philosophical students. He is bound to
- make his mark in life".
- Narendra was known for his prodigious memory and the ability at speed reading. Several incidents have
- been given as examples. In a talk, he once quoted verbatim, two or three pages from Pickwick Papers.
- Another incident that is given is his argument with a Swedish national where he gave reference to some
- details on Swedish history that the Swede originally disagreed with but later conceded. In another
- incident with Dr. Paul Deussen's at Kiel in Germany, Vivekananda was going over some poetical work and
- did not reply when the professor spoke to him. Later, he apologised to Dr. Deussen explaining that he
- was too absorbed in reading and hence did not hear him. The professor was not satisfied with this
- explanation, but Vivekananda quoted and interpreted verses from the text, leaving the professor
- dumbfounded about his feat of memory. Once, he requested some books written by Sir John Lubbock from a
- library and returned them the very next day, claiming that he had read them. The librarian refused to
- believe him until cross-examination about the contents convinced him that Vivekananda was being
- truthful.
- Some accounts have called Narendra a shrutidhara (a person with a prodigious memory)
