                   Swami Vivekananda is relevant today when the humanity is facing the challenges of modern complexity. Sri Aurobindo wrote, “Vivekananda was a soul of puissance if ever there was one, a very lion among men, but the definitive work he has left behind is quite incommensurate with our impression of his creative might and energy. We perceive his influence still working gigantically, we know not well how, we know not well where, in something that is not yet formed, something leonine, grand, intuitive, upheaving that has entered the soul of India and we say, "Behold, Vivekananda still lives in the soul of his Mother and in the souls of her children.”

            
 He is relevant today in India when India has emerged as a great economical and civilizational power, but still she has to learn to use this power as a fit vehicle to deliver the message of spirituality to the world. She also has to learn not to fritter away this power in self-aggrandizement or for crushing others but helping the needy in the Vedantic Vision of Oneness.
