NEW DELHI, Jan 12:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday paid tributes to Swami Vivekananda on his birth anniversary and asked people to spread his thoughts and ideals.
In a tweet, Modi shared a link to his app (Namo) which lets people share Vivekananda’s thoughts.
“Tributes to Swami Vivekananda on his birth anniversary. This Vivekananda Jayanti, there’s a creative effort on the NaMo App that lets you share his thoughts and a personalised message. Let us spread Swami Vivekananda’s dynamic thoughts and ideals far and wide!” he said.
A towering spiritual philosopher, Vivekananda was born in 1863 in Kolkata and is credited for popularising the Vedantic ideas.
Modi has cited Vivekananda as a key influence on him. He had recently installed a statue of him in Jawaharlal Nehru University. (PTI)
