Swami Vivekananda (The Master Builder of Our Nation)

[Guest guest]

LUXURIOUS RECEPTIONS

His object was not only to spread the correct spiritual and philosophical ideas of Hinduism in America and Europe, but also to procure funds from this wealthy country for the various philanthropic activities which he planned to start in India.

 

PURPOSEFUL STAY IN AMERICA

For this, Swamiji worked very hard, holding classes, lecturing both in public and private and rushing from place to place to meet the demands of his lectures. The fact that his message was being warmly received everywhere gave him great satisfaction. He had thousands of admirers and followers and a few among those distinguished men and women were even prepared to be initiated into sanyas to carry on his work. He spent four intensive year in America spreading Vedanta on the one hand and trying to collect funds on the other.
