Great initiative, respected web admin. I enjoyed reading the first letter you have displayed on this new web-site. Wish you all the best.
Again, Swami Ji's birthday is being celebrated here in India and in RK Mission centres worldwide on January 17th this year. Anyway, tomorrow is also his birthday, the fixed or constant one unlike the moving Indian one!
With regards,
Ankur

Replying to:
Tomorrow, January 12th, 2009, is the 146th Birthday of Swami Vivekananda. In honour of this momentous occasion, if it pleases the Holy Trio, we shall be presenting daily readings from Swamiji's Letters. Simply click on the image above, to access this NEW resource.
Of course, we shall still be offering daily readings from "In THe Company Of THe Holy Mother" HERE
Although the Ramakrishna Mission is celebrating Swamiji's birth on the 17th of this month, as you mentioned, the Government of India also celebrates the birthday today.
Here is a quote: "January 12 being the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda is observed as National Youth Day." Read a brief article about that HERE
