From Vedas to Vivekananda, Upanishads to Upagrah, Vivekananda remains as spirit of India: PM Modi.

Install Swami Vivekananda in your head and soul: PM Modi.

HENB | Petaling Jaya | Nov 22, 2015:: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called on people to “install” Swami Vivekananda’s vission and mission in their heart and soul.

He made the exhortation while unveiling a statue of the Indian sage at the Ramakrishna Mission in Petaling Jaya near Kuala Lumpur on the second day of his visit to Malaysia.

“Vivekananda is not just a name. He personifies the thousands-year-old Indian culture and civilization,” Modi said in Hindi after paying floral tributes at the Swamiji’s statue.

“From Vedas to Vivekananda, India’s culture is rich, Vivekananda spans from Upanishads to Upagrah (satellite)” he added.

Further adding, Shri. Modi mentioned that both Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna Paramhansa were in pursuit of truth which got them together. They were neither looking for a teacher nor a disciple. He hoped that statue of Vivekananda in Malaysia would be a source of inspiration to the people there.

The Ramakrishna Mission complex in Petaling Jaya came up in 2001 as a prime center for Indian Culturae and heritage in the vicinity of Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia too.

PM Modi, who arrived here on Saturday, attended the 13th Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations)-India Summit and then the 10th East Asia Summit on Sunday.

Of Malaysia’s total population of around 30 million, around two million people are of Indian origin and connected mainly with Hindu roots.
