Delhi Public School Faridabad Annual Function 2022-23

Vivekananda had stayed in Jaipur for quite sometime before he went to America. When he was in the Pink city, the King of Jaipur had organised a dance festival. Vivekananda refused to attend the programme saying that he being a saint should not indulge in such an event. The King was in a dilemma as the woman was known in his Kingdom and it would be a shame if the King send her back.
Vivekananda’s decision made the woman upset and she decided to sing a song for Vivekananda to change his mind. She is believed to have recited a poem written by the great poet Surdas. Vivekananda was greatly moved by the song and met the woman and sought forgiveness from her. The song that the woman sung meant that a person who is great by his virtues would never be affected by worldly affairs. Through the song, she asked him why he feared her despite being a saint.
