SWAMI VIVEKANANDA (1863–1902) |
| At the end of the last century, Vivekananda swept with amazing vitality and power through America and Europe, tirelessly expounding, through preaching and example, India's message of the Spirit. As the dynamic representative of Hinduism at the world's Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893, he proclaimed the truth of all religions, the divinity of the soul and the oneness of all existence. He returned to his native land to awaken it to its own great heritage, and to bring to India the best which he had gathered from his visits to the West. He established the Ramakrishna Order of monks and founded the Ramakrishna Mission to embody his twofold ideal of self-realization and the service of God in man. |

| Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda (9 vols.)
’In these volumes we have not only a gospel to the world at large, but also, to its own children, the Charter of the Hindu faith. For the first time in history Hinduism itself forms here the subject of generalization of a Hindu mind of the highest order. What Hinduism had needed was the organizing and consolidating of its own idea. What the world had needed was a faith that had no fear of truth. Both are to be found here.’—, says Sister Nivedita pp. 4600 (9 volumes) |
