Chicago Addresses

In the present impression which is being published on the occasion of the Centenary of Swami Vivekananda’s participation at the Parliament of Religions we have added a background story of the inspiring circumstances that made Swami Vivekananda’s appearance on the platform of the Parliament of Religions in 1893 possible. In the appendix we have presented to our readers what many eminent persons wrote about Swamiji and his speeches at the Parliament. Sanskrit quotations referred to by Swamiji in his speeches have also been provided with in the endnotes together with their references to source-books. It is hoped that these renovations will help the readers to understand and appreciate Swami Vivekananda and his message delivered at Chicago in a deeper way.
