Vivekananda Puja

VIVEKANANDA

Sri Ramakrishna's life-breath, 
Sri Ramakrishna's supreme gift to mankind, 
Sri Ramakrishna's victory-song all-where! 
The victory-world's delight you were; 
Lo, the cyclone-valour of the Absolute! 
You awakened your slumbering India, 
You awakened humanity's sleep. 
In you blossomed the Form Universal. 
O hero-warrior sannyasin, 
In the core of the creation, 
Sleeplessly shall burn 
The incense of your self-offering.
