1. INTRODUCTION : 4.

Sri Adi Sankaracharya had brought into swamiji's literary dexterity in the works, both in prose and poetry, and at Acharya's hands, under the heat of Acharya's fervent ideals. the great Sanskrit language became almost a dove. Swamiji could mould it into any shape and into any form. From vigorous prose, heavily laden with irresistible arguments to flowing rivilets of lilting tuneful songs of live and beauty, there is no technique in language that Acharya did not take up; and whatever Swamiji took up, Swamiji proved himself to be a master in it.

From masculine prose to soft feminine songs; from marching army verses to dancing songful words, be Acharya in the halls of the Upanishad discourses, or in the temple of the Brahma-Sutra expositions, or in the amphitheatre of Bhagavad Gita discourses, or in the open flowery fields of Swamiji's devotional songs, Acharya's was a creation that danced to the rhythm of heart and to the swing of thoughts.

Pen alone would not have won the war of our country. Swamiji was an example to be a great organiser, a farsighted diplomat, a courageous hero, and tireless servant of the country. Selfless and unassuming this mighty angel strode up and down the length and breadth of the country, serving his motherland and teaching Swamiji's  countrymen to live up to the dignity and glory of Bharatham.

Such a vast programme can neither be accomplished by an individual nor sustained and kept up without institutions of great discipline and perfect organisation. Establishing the Matha-s, opening up temples, organising halls of education and even establishing certain legislations, this mighty Master left nothing undone in maintaining what Swamiji achieved.
