Swami Vivekananda Narpani Mandram

Appoodi Adigal, one among the 63 Nayanmars is very unique. He has heard of Appar Swamigal and was so motivated by Appar’s உழவாரப்பணி (to clean temple premises wherever he visited to pray.) that Appoodi adigal started social services(in those times, social services means doing services to Siva devotees or pilgrims who visits different temples in different parts of the country, offering free food/shelters) in the name of Appar Swamigal even though he had not seen Appar in person.

The country declared Swami Vivekananda’s birthday as the National Youth day. It’s wonderful to see some motivated youth to do social service in Swami Vivekananda’s name and ideals. Few such Narpani manram is working for years under the support and blessings of Swami Virupakshananda of Chengalpat Sri Ramakrishna Mission.

In this direction, youths should start more Swami Vivekananda Narpani manrams in their villages and help the poor as real social service. As of now when I do google search on Swami Vivekananda narpani mandram I get below link first and rest are not really fitting the search results

Power of youth when channeled towards the National Youth’s ideal will do wonders to the country. Let’s wish and hope people and other mission centers take up Chengalpat mission branch as an example to motivate and help youths to form Swami Vivekananda நற்பணி மன்றம்.
