அமெரிக்க சகோதர சகோதரிகளே..!! இந்து மதத்தின் பெருமையை உலகறியச் செய்த வீரத்துறவி சுவாமி விவேகானந்தரின் சிகாகோ சர்வ சமய மாநாடு உரை நிகழ்த்திய 121 ஆவது ஆண்டில்,( செப்டம்பர்11,1893) 121 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன் சுவாமி-ஜியை பாராட்டிய அமெரிக்க பத்திரிகைகளின் கருத்துக்கள்...!! Dr Barrows, the president of the parliament had said: “India, the mother of religions, was represented by Swami Vivekananda, the orange-monk who exercised the most wonderful influence over his auditors.”. The American Press: Vivekananda as ‘handsome oriental’, the ‘cyclonic monk from India”, the ‘greatest figure in the Parliament of Religions’ and the ‘most popular and influential man in the Parliament’. The New York Critique wrote: “Swami Vivekananda is an orator by divine right and his strong, intelligent face in its picturesque setting of yellow and orange was hardly less interesting than those earnest words, and the rich, rhythmical utterance he gave them.” The New York Herald said: “Vivekananda is undoubtedly the greatest figure in the Parliament of Religions. After hearing him we feel how foolish it is to send missionaries to this learned nation.”Yes, he was a missionary, but he didn’t convert people from their native faith. The Boston Evening wrotes: “Vivekananda was a great favourite at the Parliament… if he merely crosses the platform, he is applauded.”
