C\u2019est \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque que Narendra entend parler pour la premi\u00e8re fois de Sri Ramakrishna par l\u2019un de ses professeurs d\u2019anglais \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9. Un jour de novembre 1881, Narendra va \u00e0 la rencontre de Sri Ramakrishna qui s\u00e9journe au temple Kali \u00e0 Dakshineshwar. Il pose imm\u00e9diatement au Ma\u00eetre une question qu\u2019il avait pos\u00e9e \u00e0 beaucoup d\u2019autres sans jamais recevoir de r\u00e9ponse satisfaisante&nbsp;: \u00ab&nbsp;Monsieur, avez-vous vu Dieu&nbsp;?&nbsp;\u00bb Sans h\u00e9siter un seul instant, Sri Ramakrishna r\u00e9pond&nbsp;: \u00ab&nbsp;Oui, je l\u2019ai vu. Je Le vois aussi clairement que je vous vois, seulement dans un sens bien plus intense.&nbsp;\u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">En plus de dissiper les doutes de l\u2019esprit de Narendra, Sri Ramakrishna le conquiert par son amour pur et d\u00e9sint\u00e9ress\u00e9. Ainsi commence une relation gourou-disciple plut\u00f4t unique dans l\u2019histoire des ma\u00eetres spirituels. Narendra est d\u00e9sormais un habitu\u00e9 de Dakshineshwar et, sous la direction de son Ma\u00eetre, fait une rapide avanc\u00e9e sur le chemin spirituel. \u00c0 Dakshineshwar, Narendra rencontre \u00e9galement plusieurs jeunes hommes qui sont d\u00e9vou\u00e9s \u00e0 Sri Ramakrishna et ils deviennent tous de proches amis.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;49&#8243; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apr\u00e8s quelques ann\u00e9es, deux \u00e9v\u00e8nements ont lieu et causent beaucoup de d\u00e9tresse \u00e0 Narendra. Le premier est la mort soudaine de son p\u00e8re en 1884. La famille se retrouve sans le sou et Narendra doit porter le fardeau de subvenir aux besoins de sa m\u00e8re, de ses fr\u00e8res et de ses s\u0153urs. Le second \u00e9v\u00e8nement est la maladie de Sri Ramakrishna qui est diagnostiqu\u00e9e comme un cancer de la gorge. En septembre 1885, Sri Ramakrishna d\u00e9m\u00e9nage dans une maison \u00e0 Shyampukur puis, quelques mois plus tard, dans une villa lou\u00e9e \u00e0 Cossipore. Dans ces deux endroits les jeunes disciples s\u2019occupent du Ma\u00eetre avec soin et d\u00e9vouement. Malgr\u00e9 la pauvret\u00e9 de sa maison et son incapacit\u00e9 \u00e0 trouver un emploi pour lui-m\u00eame, Narendra rejoint le groupe en tant que chef.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;17713&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;element_from_right&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;49&#8243; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;17714&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;element_from_left&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sri Ramakrishna inculque \u00e0 ces jeunes hommes l\u2019esprit de renonciation et l\u2019amour fraternel l\u2019un pour l\u2019autre. Un jour, il leur distribue des robes d\u2019ocre et les envoie mendier de la nourriture. C\u2019est de cette fa\u00e7on qu\u2019il pose les fondations d\u2019un nouvel ordre monastique. Il donne des instructions sp\u00e9cifiques \u00e0 Narendra sur la formation de ce nouvel ordre monastique. Au petit matin du 16 ao\u00fbt 1886, Sri Ramakrishna abandonne son corps mortel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9c\u00e8s du Ma\u00eetre, quinze de ses jeunes disciples (un de plus se joint ensuite \u00e0 eux) commencent \u00e0 vivre ensemble dans un b\u00e2timent v\u00e9tuste \u00e0 Baranagar au nord de Kolkata. Sous l\u2019encadrement de Narendra, ils forment une nouvelle fraternit\u00e9 monastique et prononcent les v\u0153ux formels de sannyasa en 1887, endossant ainsi de nouveaux noms. Narendra devient alors Swami Vivekananda (bien qu\u2019il n\u2019assume ce nom que bien plus tard).<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;49&#8243; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apr\u00e8s avoir cr\u00e9\u00e9 le nouvel ordre monastique, Vivekananda entend l\u2019appel int\u00e9rieur \u00e0 une plus grande mission dans sa vie. Tandis que la plupart des disciples de Sri Ramakrishna le pensaient en relation avec leur propre vie personnelle, Vivekananda pensait au Ma\u00eetre en relation avec l\u2019Inde et le reste du monde. En tant que proph\u00e8te de l\u2019\u00e9poque contemporaine, quel \u00e9tait le message de Sri Ramakrishna au monde moderne et \u00e0 l\u2019Inde en particulier&nbsp;? Cette question et la conscience de sa propre puissance inh\u00e9rente poussent Swamiji \u00e0 s\u2019aventurer seul dans le monde. Ainsi, au milieu de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 1890, Swamiji quitte Baranagar Math et entreprend un long voyage d\u2019exploration et de d\u00e9couverte de l\u2019Inde apr\u00e8s avoir re\u00e7u la b\u00e9n\u00e9diction de Sri Sarada Devi, la compagne divine de Sri Ramakrishna connue dans le monde sous le nom de Sainte M\u00e8re, s\u00e9journant alors \u00e0 Kolkata.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;17715&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;element_from_left&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;49&#8243; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;17717&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;element_from_left&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pendant ses voyages \u00e0 travers l\u2019Inde, Swami Vivekananda est profond\u00e9ment \u00e9mu de voir l\u2019\u00e9pouvantable pauvret\u00e9 et le retard des masses. Il est le premier chef religieux en Inde \u00e0 comprendre et d\u00e9clarer ouvertement que la v\u00e9ritable raison de l\u2019effondrement de l\u2019Inde est la n\u00e9gligence des masses. Le besoin imm\u00e9diat est de fournir de la nourriture et d\u2019autres biens de premi\u00e8re n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 \u00e0 des millions de personnes affam\u00e9es. Pour cela, il faut leur enseigner des m\u00e9thodes am\u00e9lior\u00e9es d\u2019agriculture, d\u2019industries villageoises, etc. C\u2019est dans ce contexte que Vivekananda saisit le c\u0153ur du probl\u00e8me de la pauvret\u00e9 en Inde (qui a \u00e9chapp\u00e9 aux r\u00e9formateurs sociaux de son \u00e9poque)&nbsp;: en raison de si\u00e8cles d\u2019oppression, les masses opprim\u00e9es ont perdu foi en leur capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer leur sort. Il est tout d\u2019abord n\u00e9cessaire de leur insuffler foi en eux-m\u00eames. Pour cela, ils ont besoin d\u2019un message plein de vie et inspirant. Swamiji trouve ce message dans le principe de l\u2019\u00c2tman, la doctrine de la divinit\u00e9 potentielle de l\u2019\u00e2me, enseign\u00e9e au Vedanta, l\u2019ancien syst\u00e8me de philosophie religieuse en Inde. Il s\u2019aper\u00e7oit que malgr\u00e9 la pauvret\u00e9, les masses se raccrochent \u00e0 la religion mais n\u2019ont jamais appris les principes pleins de vie et nobles du Vedanta et comment les appliquer \u00e0 la vie de tous les jours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ainsi, les masses ont besoin de deux types de connaissances&nbsp;: la connaissance s\u00e9culi\u00e8re pour am\u00e9liorer leur condition \u00e9conomique et la connaissance spirituelle pour leur insuffler la foi en eux-m\u00eames et renforcer leur sens moral. La prochaine question est&nbsp;de savoir comment diffuser ces deux types de connaissances parmi les masses&nbsp;?

On Sunday, January 17, Swamiji and his party visited a local temple in the Tamil quarter of the city.

Several notices appeared in the Indian newspapers about both photographs, 66 and 67.\"\n                class=\"ngg-fancybox\" rel=\"e868ab8cf64ac5e3d0e4f4ea838b1f76\">\n                <picture>\n\t\n<source srcset='https:\/\/www.discoverypublisher.com\/fr\/wp-content\/gallery\/swami-vivekananda\/swamiji066_en.jpg' media=''>\n<img title=\"KOLKATA, FEBRUARY 1897\" alt=\"KOLKATA, FEBRUARY 1897\" width=\"259\" height=\"350\" style=\"max-width:259px;max-height:350px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverypublisher.com\/fr\/wp-content\/gallery\/swami-vivekananda\/swamiji066_en.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverypublisher.com\/fr\/wp-content\/gallery\/swami-vivekananda\/swamiji066_en.jpg\" onerror=\"nggRetryFailedImage(this);\"\/>\n<\/picture>            <\/a>\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverypublisher.com\/fr\/wp-content\/gallery\/swami-vivekananda\/swamiji067_en.jpg\"\n               title=\"In From Holy Wanderings to the Service of God in Man, Swami Akhandananda said: Afterwards, at Gopal Lal Seal\u2019s garden house in Cossipore, Swamiji had a group photograph taken with Mother Sevier, some of his gurubhais on two sides of her and some devotees such as Alasinga and G.
