Class - 4th Eng

Lesson-5 Swami Vivekananda

Once Narendra was punished at school. The geography teacher asked him a question which he answered correctly. But the teacher thought Narendra was wrong and punished him. The boy protested, “I’ve not committed any error, sir. I am sure what I said is right.” This made the teacher not only furious but also led him to slap Narendra. When Narendra returned home, his eyes were filled with tears. He narrated everything to his mother. His mother consoled him and said, “My son, why do you care if you are right? Always follow the truth, whatever may happen.” Later, when the teacher realized his mistake, he regretted it.

Narendra: A Brave Boy

Narendra was a brave boy. One day while Narendra and his friends were playing in the garden, they heard a voice calling, ‘Run! Run! Ghost! Ghost! There is a ghost in that tree’. Hearing these words all boys ran away in fear. But the boy Narendra stood fearless and asked the gardener, “Where is the ghost? I don’t see any ghost in the tree.”

Narendra Becomes Swami Vivekananda

Narendra’s habit of fearlessness, love for mankind and concentration made him one of the greatest spiritual leaders of mankind and thereafter he began to be known as Swami Vivekananda. He was deeply inspired by the teachings of the Gita.
