Mystery of 'voice of Vivekananda' solved

 

This is from wikipedia, where somebody had put the voice of Swami

Vivekananda

------------

It is good that you removed the link! I recount one funny experience

of a monk of the Ramakrishna Order regarding the 'Voice of

Vivekananda'. He was presented with a CD supposed to contain the

'original' voice. The moment he heard it attentively he remembered

that he had heard it before. It struck him that there was one cassette

of N Vishwanathan who had read out some selected lectures of Swamiji.

This was brought out during the Centenary commemoration of Chicago

Parliament of Religions in 1993. He played the CD and the cassette

simultaneously and lo! both had omission of one para from the lecture

of 27th Sept, 1893. Not only that - in narrating the story of Frog in

the well, Vishwanathan had expounded in a little dramatic way by

modulating his voice, Swamiji's lecture also had the same style!

Wherever Vishwanathan had pronouced the word 'often' as 'often,

Swamiji in the CD also had the same pronounciation! More over before

Swamiji's lecture begins, there is an announcement in female voice.

The written down records of Parliament of Religions show that there

was no female announcer at that time! It appeared to our monk that the

new CD has been produced by increasing the speed of the lecture and

adding 'noise' level so as to appear as ancient one. Vishwanathan's

cassette is still available for sale from Udbodhan Office,

Dear friends

 

The voice posted on the website you mentioned is not that

of Sw. Vivekananda. I have these following facts to set

this right:

 

1. The voice which introduces Swamiji in this recording is

that of a lady (on all the 3 lectures). But if you look at

the book published by the Chicago Parliament of Religions

(which documents in detail every day proceedings) it was

Barrows who introduces swamiji.

 

 

2. I have checked with Dr Nanjundiah of Bangalore (He

worked with UN in Washington) & he had corresponded with

the Chicago's Oriental Institute and they have confirmed in

writing that there were no recordings of swamiji's

lectures, except in short-hand notes.

 

3. Also I checked with Sw. Harshanandaji, president of RK

Math, Bangalore & he also confirms that this has surfaced

few times earlier (in tapes) and that tapes were traced to

Hongkong, where somebody
