New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday paid tributes to Swami Vivekananda on his birth anniversary and asked people to spread his thoughts and ideals.

In a tweet, Modi shared a link to his app (Namo) which lets people share Vivekananda’s thoughts.  “Tributes to Swami Vivekananda on his birth anniversary.

This Vivekananda Jayanti, there’s a creative effort on the NaMo App that lets you share his thoughts and a personalised message.  Let us spread Swami Vivekananda’s dynamic thoughts and ideals far and wide!” he said.

A towering spiritual philosopher, Vivekananda was born in 1863 in Kolkata and is credited for popularising the Vedantic ideas.  Modi has cited Vivekananda as a key influence on him. He had recently installed a statue of him in Jawaharlal Nehru University.

स्वामी विवेकानंद को उनकी जयंती पर कोटि-कोटि नमन।
