VIVEKANANDA |
|
Very soon Sri
Ramakrishna taught him all about the Truth of God.
Narendra became a sanyasin in his 25th year. Afterwards he came to be called Vivekananda.
He travelled throughout India on foot, studying the condition of people in the country.
One day he was meditating on a rock in Kanyakumari. At that time, he got a call from God
to preach the greatness of India.
He decided to spread it throughout the world and also make every Indian feel strong as
iron and brave as a lion.
In 1893, a Parliament of Religions met in Chicago, in America. Spiritual leaders from all
parts of the world attended it.
Vivekanda also attended it.At first they had allotted to this Indian monk only a few
minutes. |
