The religious legends of India

Clad in his maroon robe, Swami Vivekananda addressed a small audience composed mostly of women, at the Shakespeare Club this evening [January 16]. (Of which no verbatim transcript is available.)

Vivekananda quoted freely from the Sanskrit, translating as he went along. . .
