Swami Vivekananda is known for his inspiring speech at the Parliament of the World's Religions at Chicago, USA on 11 september, 1893, where he introduced Hindu philosophy to the West. But this was not the only contribution of the saint.Read the passage and answer the questions that follow: He revealed the true foundations of India's unity as a nation. He taught how a nation with such a vast diversity can be bound
together by a feeling of humanity and brotherhood.
Vivekananda emphasized the points of drawbacks of western culture and the contribution of India to overcome those drawbacks. Freedom fighter Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose once said: “Swamij
harmonized the East and the West, religion and
science, past and present. Our countrymen have gained unprecedented self-respect, self-reliance and self-assertion from his teachings." Vivekananda was successful in constructing a virtual bridge between the culture of East and West. He interpreted the
Hindu scriptures, philosophy and the way of life to the western people. He made them realize that in spite of poverty and backwardness, India has a great contribution to mark the world culture. He played a key role in ending India's culture isolation from the rest of the world.He was also associated with Brahmo Movement led by Keshab Chandra Sen, for sometime. He also questioned the validity of superstitious
customs and discrimination based on caste and religion. During this spiritual crisis, Vivekananda first heard about Sri Rama Krishna from William Hastu, the Principal of the Scottish Church College.One day on November 1881, Vivekananda went to Kali Temple in Dhakshineshwar where Sri Ramakrishna was staying. He straight away asked the Ramakrishna, "Sir, have
you seen God?" Without a moment's hesitation, Sri Ramakrishna replied: "Yes, I have seen. I see him as
clearly as I see you, only in much deeper sense."
Vivekananda was surprised to hear this. Sri
Ramakrishna won him over through his pure, unselfish love. Vivekananda started visiting Dhakshineshwar frequently and the relationship of “Master anDisciple” developed between the two.
