எளிமையானவர்,இந்துமதத்துறவி,இந்துமதப்புகழினை உலகளாவிய அளவில் பரப்பியவர்,என சுவாமி விவேகானந்தர் பற்றி கூறிக்கொண்டே போகலாம்.அந்த அளவிற்கு இந்து மதக்கோட்பாடுகளில் நம்பிக்கைக்கொண்டு உலகளாவிய அளவில் இந்து மதப்பெருமைகளை நிலைநிறுத்தியவர்.
சுவாமி விவேகானந்தரின் சிகாகோ சொற்பொழிவு அவரின் புகழை இந்தியாவின் பெருமையை உயரச்செய்தது என்றால் அது மிகை இல்லை.
மேற்படி சொற்பொழிவு பற்றிய சிறு தகவல் தொகுப்பினை உங்களுடன் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ள விழைகின்றேன்.
Chicago Address - 1
Response to Welcome At The World's Parliament of Religions,
Chicago, 11th September 1893
Sisters and Brothers of America, It fills my heart with joy
unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome
which you have given us. l thank you in the name of the most
ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the
mother of religions; and I thank you in the name of the millions
and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects. My thanks,
also, to some of the speakers on this platform who, referring to
the delegates from the Orient, have told you that these men from
far-off nations may well claim the honor of bearing to different
lands the idea of toleration. I am proud to belong to a religion
which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance.
We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all
religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has
sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all
nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered
in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to the
southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which
their holy temple was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am
proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still
fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation. I will quote
to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to have
repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day repeated by
millions of human beings:
"As the different streams having there sources in different
places all mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the
different paths which men take through different tendencies,
various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to
Thee."
The present convention, which is one of the most august assemblies
ever held, is in itself a vindication, a declaration to the world,
of the wonderful doctrine preached in the Gita:
"Whosoever comes to Me, through whatsoever form, I reach him;
all men are struggling through paths which in the end lead to
Me."
Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism,
have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled the
earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood,
destroyed civilization, and sent whole nations to despair. Had it
not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more
advanced than it is now. But their time is come; and I fervently
hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honor of this
convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all
persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all
uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same
goal.
இவ்விடத்தில் மேலும் ஒன்றினைக்கூற ஆசைப்படுகின்றேன்.சுவாமி விவேகானந்தரின் சொற்பொழிவு ஆடியோ வடிவில் எனக்கு
சில குறிப்புகளுடன் வரப்பெற்றது.அதன் வடிவத்தினை அப்படியே உங்களுடன் பகிர்ந்துகொள்ள ஆசைப்படுகின்றேன்.அதன் நம்பகத்தன்மை பற்றிய முடிவை உங்களிடமே விட்டுவிடுகின்றேன்

This is an audio of Swamy Vivekanandan´ s historic speech at World Religion´s Parliament at Chicago in 1893
The fellow who first uploaded this in internet, claims that this is original copy of the Swami Vivekanandan' s Chicago speech he made at the World Religion´s Parliament, and the uploader got the audion from the "Vivekanand Society of Chicago”. He claim that the audio track of the speech was recently discovered at the Chicago Museum of Art's audio archive where Swami Vivekananda had given this historic speech. Well, it may be possible to have audio records of such important meetings since commercial audio recording was started even before Chicago World Religion Meeting (1893). But I am not convinced however.
[This is simply because, there are so many controversies on the authenticity of this audio. Some sceptics say this is only similar to the voice of one Prof. N. Viswanathan, an Oxford trained Professor who later also served as the English News Reader in Calcutta Doordarsan during 80´s. Furthermore, in the World Parliament, Swamiji was introduced by a gentleman comparer, but here he was invited to the podium by a lady whose voice sounds far too contemporary American! Moreover there is no documental proof that the Conference was sound recorded, since gramophone was just discovered only 4 or 5 years before.]
It doesn't matter whether it is authentic or not, all it matters is that it provides an excellent opportunity for us to listen to message of Swami Vivekananda. . The full text of the speech is available on
Incidentally his "Brothers and Sisters" speech was delivered on one September 11th !
