Since the train had to pass through Chengalpattu before reaching Chennai, and there was no official stop at Chengalpattu, the people gathered and requested the station master to stop the train at Chengalpattu station. When the request was denied, the people layed flat on the railway track and made the train stop. Swami Vivekananda delivered a speech for 10 minutes and the people were happy. This incident became the seed for the development and growth of Swamiji’s ideologies.
When I read these above from http://rkmchengalpattu.org/history.htm
it strikes to me how our தெய்வ தமிழ் நாடு people have been now converted to do what is called rail roko or to stop trains.Roots of these what could be now termed as disturbing acts are actually actions in a very high spiritual thoughts of the past.
When one reads on how Chengalpattu people were spiritually thirsty and hungry to listen to words from Swami Vivekananda its really wonderful.Lets hope once again the same people will lead on the spiritual seeds sprouting again as and when it is needed in the country and world.
