Vivekananda and Parliament of Religion IV

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

Please find the last portion of :

 

Swami Vivekananda and the Parliament of Religions: Chicago 1893

Part IV

 

Here are a few newspaper reports and other comments:

 

" The Parliament of Religions at Chicago is, we believe, the beginning of

the movement that will come into greater prominence by and by for

unification of all nations into a common religious bond. That was the

impression, at least, of all those whom attended the Parliament of

Religions, and listened intelligently to presentation of the different

religious creeds. ... "

 

" Vivekananda's address before the Parliament was broad as the heavens

above us; embracing the best in all religions, as the ultimate universal

religion --charity to all mankind, good works for the love of God, not

for fear of punishment or hope of reward... "

 

" That man a heathen! " said one, as he came out of the great hall, " and

we send missionaries to this people! It would be more fitting that they

send missionaries to us (America). "
