Acharya Prashant highlights that Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's life cannot be understood without the influence of Swami Vivekananda. Born into a well-to-do Bengali family in Cuttack, his early education was primarily British-oriented, focusing on English grammar and vocabulary. However, his introduction to the Upanishads at a school in Cuttack and the accidental discovery of Swami Vivekananda’s writings at a relative's house sparked a profound internal revolution. This spiritual awakening led him to prioritize Vedantic principles over traditional rituals and British education, eventually forming a group of like-minded students dedicated to serious philosophical inquiry. Despite his deep spiritual inclination, Subhash Chandra Bose remained an exceptional student, ranking second in the Calcutta University matriculation and fourth in the Indian Civil Service examination. Acharya Prashant recounts the incident where Bose led a protest against a British professor who insulted Indians, resulting in his expulsion from Presidency College. This event marked the beginning of his fierce rebellion against the British Raj. Later, while in Britain for the civil service, he struggled with the idea of serving the colonial government. Encouraged by a letter from his mother advising him to follow the path of Mahatma Gandhi, he resigned from the prestigious service to join the freedom struggle. Upon returning to India, Bose met Mahatma Gandhi, and though they had different approaches, both shared a deep reverence for the Bhagavad Gita. Bose viewed Shri Krishna as a warrior rather than a pacifist, which shaped his radical approach to independence. After serving as the Congress President and facing internal opposition, he was placed under house arrest by the British. Acharya Prashant describes Bose's ingenious escape, where he used the Vedantic concept of silence as a ruse to grow a beard and disguise himself as a Pathan. He traveled through Afghanistan, Russia, and Germany, eventually reaching East Asia via a primitive submarine to lead the Indian National Army. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that Bose’s struggle was a form of spiritual practice, characterized by self-knowledge and a relentless pursuit of liberation. He argues that true nationalism in India can only be built on the foundation of Vedanta and self-knowledge, rather than external factors like race, religion, or language. Despite their political disagreements, Bose and Mahatma Gandhi maintained mutual respect; Bose was the one who first addressed Mahatma Gandhi as the Father of the Nation. The speaker concludes that Bose’s life exemplifies the Vedantic ideal of continuous movement toward freedom, proving that spiritual strength is the ultimate source of revolutionary courage.
