As all of us aware 2013 is Swami Vivekananda's 150 Birth Anniversary Celebrations. Several organisations and institutions the world over will organise programmes as a befitting tribute to this great Patriot Saint of India who was intensely nationalistic and deeply universal. In a special effort initiated by Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari several individuals, organisations and institutions working at local, state, regional, national, international levels will come together to celebrate this historic event. The uniqueness of this effort by the Vivekananda Kendra is that it will be celebrated without any organisational banner.

Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya, Kanyakumari celebrated the birth anniversary of Mananeeya Eknathji Ranade as Sadhana Diwas on 19th November, 2012. The school also organized a science and arts exhibition which concluded on that that day.

A 15,000 sq feet rangoli, depicting Swami Vivekananda in the forefront, with his rock memorial in the background, will be made to mark Swami Vivekananda's 150th anniversary.
