  :_Omm:We are aware that this is not the Original Voice of Swami ji. Sorry for not mentioning it in the video. However, the words themselves are so powerful that they leave you in awe nonetheless:_Omm: <br><br>And clearly this speaker did a great job... Sabine got very emotional within the first minute 😅

  I only knew swamiji had started his speech with &quot;my brothers and sisters in America&quot; but has never listened to his entire speech. This is the first time I have gotten a chance to listen and it is mind blowing. Thank you guys.

  Swami Vivekananda &nbsp;was only &nbsp;30 years old at that time but he had such enlightened thinking. Proud to be Hindu 🕉️. &nbsp;A tradition of TOLERANCE .&amp; ACCEPTANCE OF ALL &nbsp;If ONLY &nbsp;Abrahamic faiths had the wisdom to be like Dharmic tradition, there will be very little HUMAN TO HUMAN &nbsp;violence in this world. &nbsp;Long live Dharmic wisdom. <br>Thank you 🙏 for sharing

  This Swami Vivekananda&apos; said &quot;give me 100 men like me. I will change the world&quot;. Such was his clout. One of the visionary!!!

  Vocabulary and eloquence of Swamiji amazes me more than anything. It is even better than 10s of shashi tharoor together.

  My first time hearing this speech. Swami was one with the truth through out to this speech. This is freedom of life, freedom of seeking. I have no words to describe his thoughts

  Being a student of Swami Vivekananda&apos;s life and work, there are a few things: 1. This speech is partial and not the first day&apos;s speech. The start is from Day 1, I think it was September 11, 1893. But then the complete speech is from a later date. Anyways, it does not reduce the quality of the speech. But, the complete speech from beginning to end paints the full picture. 2. This speech has two portions, first is the explanation of God and why we suffer, and the second portion is why there is idolatry in Hinduism and what it means. Sabine teared up multiple times during the first portion. This is a question Swamiji struggled with in his early life. The second portion was addressing religious bigotry he and others faced during that time in the West. He explained that all religions are the same, and though they may take different paths, the destination is the same. In 1893, US was not the world leader, but Swamiji loved USA and believed that a new dawn is coming to US. And it did. There are books on Shree Ramakrishna and Swamiji in Ramakrishna Mission. Those books may help. Some of the books I read, are fascinating, but are not in English. I think reading Swamiji&apos;s life is a great way to understand what he is really talking about.

  It was this speech that kick started spread of sanatana dharma in western scholars. Nicola tesla, Einstein , oppenheimer and many more great minds were the product of it. This speech changed western landscape of thinkers forever. It shattred the persived limits of human brilliance in west. Hence it is still considered iconic even after more than 125 years.🙏😊
