Swami Vivekananda, in introducing the lecturer Swami Saradananda, said:

Swami Vivekananda has been urging on the people of Lahore and Sialkote the need of practical work. The starving millions, he urged, cannot live on metaphysical speculation; they require bread; and in a lecture he gave at Lahore on Bhakti, he suggested as the best religion for to-day that everyma

This second hand story, recounted by John Henry Barrows, one of Vivekananda’s detractors, is not dependable. It was published in the Outlook magazine and re- published in several newspapers.

" The Swami seems to have been moving in fine society in the United States , if we are to believe his own words.

Previously published in the Chicago Times Herald, the anecdote below is, in our opinion, not reliable. It appears in a column of several anecdotes and news briefs in The Times Democrat of Lima, Ohio, on Friday. July 2, 1897, and refers to an incident, if true, which would have occurred in th

Referring to a statement attributed to the swami--" Scarcely could I go to a meeting or a society but I found three-quarters of the women present had turned out their husbands and children.    It is so here, there, and everywhere." and another from the Brahmavddin, June 19, 1897, the Swami

The Courier-Journal has received a peculiar appeal from far-off Calcutta . It is reasonable enough, doubtless, from the standpoint of those who send it, surrounded as they are by the atmosphere of Hinduism and Buddhism, but to us here, with an entirely different environment, it has in it som

We are glad that at the M. N. C. A. meeting Dr. Barrows pricked with success some of the Swami's bubbles. According to the Swami the Parliament of Religions has resulted in a victory of Vedantism over Christianity. Half America has been won over to Hinduism, if the Swami is to be believed.

Swami Vivekananda was accorded a most enthusiastic recep­tion at Colombo , where he landed on the 15th instant. All classes of the Colombo community, whether Hindus or Bud­dhists, forgot their differences, and went to work together to render fitting honour, where honour was so eminently due. The

Swami Vivekananda has received the ovation of a conquering hero, returning home. The last we heard of him in England was when he got a farewell address from his English disciples, who expressed their undying love for India. . .

" At a large meeting of the Swami Vivekananda's friends and sympathisers held at the galleries of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Piccadilly, London, on December 13th, 1896, the Chairman, E. T. Sturdy, Esq., was requested to present an address to the Swami on the motion of

. . . The gathering was a unique one, for the Indians met together to talk (in the Majlis they all talk), about the successes of Ranjit Sing[h] and Atul Chandra Chatterjee. It is a pity the name of Professor Bose was not associated with the above two; and we think, Swami Vivekananda, who was pre

On the 21st of this month [November], the Cambridge "Indian Majlis" gave a complimentary dinner at the University Arms Hotel [in Cambridge] to Prince Ranjit-sinhji and Mr. Atul Chandra Chatterjee. Mr. Hafiz G. Sarwir of St. John's College, took the chair. There were about fifty Indians present

We have been presented with a copy of a booklet entitled the "Ideal of Universal Religion", published by the Brahmavadin Publishing Company, Madras. It is a lecture by Swami Vivekananda, delivered in America. The lecture is highly interesting and instructive. It is an attempt at a reconciliation

On the sixth floor of one of the dismal but convenient Victoria-street houses, we lately listened to a discourse by Swami Vivekananda — one of a long series on the Hindoo Religion and Philosophy. * . . . For an hour and a half he spoke, without a note. It is true that the discourse was rather a f

Swami Vivekananda writes from Lake Luzern Switzerland, under date the 23rd of August last. He has been walking over several parts of the Cis-Alpine country, enjoying the pleasing views of nature there. He says that the scenery is in no respect less grand than that of the Himalayas. Still, he

Monotny, C. P. R. R. -- A station and two small wooden buildings; a blank waste of prairie, a line of track straight to the level horizon, a cloudless sky. The Ogden express (eastbound) is waiting upon a siding. A distant whistle, a faint hum, a vibrant roar -- a pounding, rattling rush of noise

I feel sure you will be glad to have an idea of the progress of the Swami's work in England, as a supplement to the letter which the Swami Saradananda sent you a few weeks ago. At that time a series of Sunday lectures was being arranged, and three of these have now been given. They are held in o

When first we heard that the Swami Vivekananda was coming to London to expound the Vedanta Philosophy, we were hopeful that his teaching would not only confirm the faith of Spiritualists, but might also add to their number. We hoped this, because the very essence of the Hindu Philosophy is that

Swami Saradananda in a letter from London written to the Editor of the Brahmavadin says: —

The Sesame Club. — At a meeting of the Sesame Club on Tuesday night [May 12], the chairman, Mr. Ashton Jonson, said he regretted to announce that Mrs. Norman was too unwell to be present to open, as announced, a debate on "Should we return to the land." An address was accordingly given by Swami

The Swami Vivekananda has, during the past few days, conducted a most successful work in connection with the Procopeia. During this time he has given four class lectures for the club itself, with constant audiences of between four and five hundred people, at the Allen Gymnasium, 44, St. Botolph

Swami Vivekananda told the large audience that crowded the Allen Gymnasium to hear him speak on the "Ideal of a Universal Religion," last night, (Of which no verbatim transcript is available.) that the recent Parliament of Religions at Chicago proved, to that date, that universal religion was i

VIVEKANANDA LECTURED IN TEMPLE BETH EL ——— Spoke on the Ideal of a Universal Religion He Will Probably Leave Tuesday

Vivekananda, the Hindoo missionary, lectured at the Hotel Richelieu last night. * The parlors of the private hotel were filled to overflowing with a crowd of ladies. When Vivekananda arrived at the hotel it was with difficulty he worked his way in. He went upstairs and very shortly came down agai

A fair house greeted the Hindu monk, Vivekananda, last night. . . . He was introduced by Mr. C. B. Patterson, in some fitting remarks. . . . His subject last night was "The Ideal, or Universal Religion". ("The Ideal of a Universal Religion" was delivered January 31, 1896, of which there is no ve
