Let's have a quick introduction about Swami Vikekanand -
Born
as Narendranath Dutta on 12 January 1863, Swami Vivekananda is considered one
of the chief saints of India. The prime disciple of 19th century Indian mystic
Ramakrishna Paramhansa, he reintroduced the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and
Yoga to the Western world. Naren (he was popularly known as) was born at his
ancestral home at 3 Gourmohan Mukherjee Street in British Capital Calcutta. Son
of Vishwanath Dutta, who was an attorney at the Calcutta High Court and a
devout housewife Bhubaneswari Devi, Naren's upbringing was influenced by his
father's liberal thinking and his mother's spiritual and religious temperament.
Swami Vivekananda was intelligent since childhood. He was the only student to
have received first division marks in Presidency College entrance examination.
An avid reader of various subjects, including religion, history, social
science, art and literature, he also had profound interest in Puranas, Vedas
and Upanishads. He travelled to the West bearing HIndu philosophy and
introducing Indian heritage, culture and philosophy to the West. Of his many
lectures, the one in Chicago at the Parliament of the World's Religion is the
most revered. Here, he gave a brief speech representing India and Hinduism. With
his introductory speech, starting "Sisters and brothers of America",
Swami Vivekananda earned a 2-minute standing ovation from the crowd of seven
thousand people. He also plays an important role in social reforming (fight for
