THE Vivekananda Ashram and the statute of Swami Vivekananda in Brickfields is not just a symbol of the past. It is a place of learning and is an inspiration to everyone who follows the teachings of Swami Vivekananda, said Ramakrishna Mission Malaysia president Swami Supriyananda.
Supriyananda said Vivekananda was a philosopher, the chief disciple of the 19th century mystic Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and the founder of the Ramakrishna Mission.
