With the coronavirus outbreak
The bulletin, among others, reprints the plague manifesto written by Swami Vivekananda in 1898 which starts with the line: "We feel happy when you are happy and we suffer when you suffer. Therefore, during these days of extreme adversity, we are striving and ceaselessly praying for your welfare and an easy way to save you from disease and the fear of an epidemic."
Swamiji said in another part of the manifesto "Do not pay any heed to rumours. The British government will not vaccinate anyone by force. Only those who are willing will be vaccinated."
He also said if there is none to help the affected person, he/she can send information immediately to "the servants of Shri Bhagavan Ramakrishna at Belur Math. There will be no dearth of help that is physically possible."
