Vivekananda Darsanika Samajam is a registered non-government and non-sectarian organization founded and established in Palakkad, Kerala in 5th August 2008 officially by a band of truly dedicated and highly motivated youngsters, who are inspired by Swami Vivekananda’s life and teachings. Samajam is affiliated to Bhava Prachar Parishad under Sri Ramakrishna Math, Belur, Kolkata. (http://www.belurmath.org/bhavprachar.htm).
As the name suggests, Vivekananda Darsanika Samajam was established with an aim of studying, assimilating and propagating the ‘life-giving, character-making and nation-building’ ideas and ideals embodied in the life and teachings of Swami Vivekananda, the great patriot saint and practical visionary of modern India and the supreme inspirer of her dormant national consciousness, among people in general, but youth in particular. Samajam has the patronage of Sri Ramakrishna Math and the encouragement and support of a large number of prominent persons from all walks of life. Read More
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

'Kerala Flood Relief Programmes'
Rehabilitation
The state of Kerala was struck by a natural disaster the kind of which has never been witnessed before by its population in the month of August 2018. Heavy rains and powerful wind that rocked the state day in and day out destroyed the dreams and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people. Major rivers all across the state crested and the hillsides got drenched and crumbled resulting in massive destruction of life and property. The state lost approximately 445 of its citizens. 17,343 houses were decimated. Ten lakh evacuees were moved to relief camps. 35 dams in the state opened their shutters. The disaster created fear and panic in the hearts and minds of people. Finally the clouds have cleared and the chaos is almost over; now Kerala is in the path of rebuilding and recovery. All of us are involved and engaged in this mighty effort and by God’s grace Sri Ramakrishna Mission has also come forward with a helping hand.
