Wake Up Bharat, Enlighten the World
The year 2013 is Swami Vivekananda's 150th Birth Anniversary.

Uttishthata Jagrata Prapya Varan Nibodhata

उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान् निबोधत

Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached.

Swami Vivekananda Jayanti 

Swami Vivekananda Jayanti celebrates the birthday of Swami Vivekananda. Swami Vivekananda's birthday falls on the Paush Krishna Saptami, the 7th day after the full moon day in the Hindu month of Paush. Therefore the date varies from year to year. In 2013, the date of the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda is on February 3 as per traditional Hindu calendar. According to the English calendar or the generally used Indian Calendar, Swami Vivekananda was born on January 12, 1863.Numerous programs are organized in India and in several countries around the world on the day.

Saints of Sanatana Dharma never sought blind followers. Their sole aim was to initiate a discussion on a particular topic. They wanted each individual to arrive at a conclusion through a healthy debate and contemplation. They wanted each individual to realize his/her potential. Swami Vivekananda was one such modern saint who kindled the passion of search for knowledge in the minds of people.

The ideal way to remember or honor a saint is by understanding his/her teachings. Swami Vivekananda has given his valuable thoughts on several topics. It is for us to pick up these pearls of wisdom and contemplate and apply it in our daily life. This can be done not just on his birthday but on all days of the year.

Trip to Olumirin Water Falls in Erin-Ijesa,

26^th December 2011.

The awe-inspiring falls, also known as Erin-Ijesha Waterfalls is an assemblage of seven distinct cascades located on the south western slopes of the lush Effon Ridge, The gigantic Ridge constitutes a conspicuous eye-catcher for every traveller along the Ilesa-Akure expressway, as it towers into the distant skyline, forming a spectacular backrest for the sleepy towns of Erin-Ijesha and Erinmo in  Osun state.

Seven layers of rocks and seven waterfalls. The water flows majestically among the rocks and splashes down with great force on the vegetation around.

This Christmas vacation we sweetco expertise and their families and friends a group of eight Visited Erin-Ijesha (Olumirin) Waterfalls and be spellbound.

The waterfall is 2km off Erin Ijesha town, which is a few kilometres east of Ilesa town on the Ilesa-Akure Road. A study was carried out at Erin-Ijesha in Osun State, which revealed that the waterfall is situated within latitude 7°30’ and 8°45’ North and longitude 4°31’ and 5°East.

Olumirin Water Falls  

It is one of the very few water bodies where fresh prawns thrive and which has some feel of wildlife. The awe-inspiring falls, also known as Erin-Ijesha Waterfalls is an assemblage of seven distinct cascades located on the south western slopes of the lush Effon Ridge, The gigantic Ridge constitutes a conspicuous eye-catcher for every traveller along the Ilesa-Akure expressway, as it towers into the distant skyline, forming a spectacular backrest for the sleepy towns of Erin-Ijesha and Erinmo in  Osun state.

As part of South Western Nigeria, the area falls within the tropical climatic belt, with alternating hot/dry and a warm humid season. Atmospheric temperatures range slightly from 30 – 34 degree Celsius, while annual rainfall averages 1500cm. Erin Garden is a thick forest, which houses Olumirin Water Falls. The waterfall is 2km off Erin Ijesha town, which is a few kilometres east of Ilesa town on the Ilesa-Akure Road. 

Olumirin Waterfalls: Acrobatic display of nature

According to one of the custodians of the waterfall, it was discovered by a woman called Akinla, founder of Erin-Ijesha town and a granddaughter of Oduduwa, the progenitor of the Yoruba race, in the year 1140 AD during the migration of Ife people to Erin-Ijesa.

Often times, first time tourist at the waterfalls unconsciously starts to number the waterfalls from the last drop (the base of the ridge) as it is the first of all the falls to be encountered when visiting; whereas the numbering is supposed to be from the top. Nevertheless, going by layman’s standard, the seventh drop of the waterfalls is the first waterfall.

The people of Erin-Ijesa believe that the waterfalls 
exude from a big pot located at the top of the ridge.
