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 two-fold ideal of self-realization and the service
of God in man.
