With Swamiji is his classic seated posture, this wallpaper talks about teaching and rousing of the soul: "Teach yourself, teach everyone his real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes.

Swami Vivekananda on Worship - Wallpaper

This cool blue wallpaper features two photos of Swamiji - one composed and the other confident. Again the message is simple: "This is the gist of all worship - to be pure and to do good to others." As he explained in his address at the Rameshwaram Temple: "He who sees Shiva in the poor, in the weak, and in the diseased, really worships Shiva; and if he sees Shiva only in the image, his worship is but preliminary."

Swami Vivekananda on Knowledge - Wallpaper

This wallpaper has a wooden wall backdrop featuring our man in a happy pose looking knowledgeable indeed. As he said in his book 'Karma-Yoga': "Next to spiritual comes intellectual help; the gift of knowledge is a far higher gift... because the real life of man consists of knowledge; ignorance is death, knowledge is life."

Swamiji on Religion - Wallpaper

Swamiji adorned in his classic saffron robe sitting with eyes lowered in a meditative pose with 'Om' in the background is a perfect setting for the profound message he bore: "Religion is the manifestation of the divinity already in man." This is similar to one of his popular aphorisms: "Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man."
