On account of the Covid-19 pandemic that still seems to linger, we are constrained to conduct this function in hybrid (blended) mode to offer our humble homage to Swami Vivekananda on the day of his mahasamadhi, the 4th of July, the very day on which he conceived and envisioned a University at Belur Math: “Keeping the ancient Bharatiya (Indian) Wisdom tradition intact and blending it harmoniously with the modern scientific knowledge, we should establish a University at Belur Math” to quote his own words.
