Think—And Fitness Was Not the Point
Over a century ago, a Hindu monk named

9. Vivekananda's Appearance in Chicago
Swami Vivekananda was born in 1863 in a well-to-do Calcutta family.
As a young man, he became a disciple of the mystic Ramakrishna and
took monastic vows shortly before his teacher’s passing. After
traveling in India for five years, Vivekananda left India to travel to the
1893 World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago, an interfaith
conference held during the massive World's Columbian Exposition.
According to the legend that has grown around Vivekananda’s appearance at the Parliament,
despite travel difficulties and nervousness, the swami addressed the crowd as “sisters and
brothers of America” to thunderous applause. Vivekananda then rode the wave of success and
lectured, wrote books, and opened branches of the Ramakrishna Mission known as Vedanta
Societies during two separate U.S. tours.
The approval given to Vivekananda at the Parliament in Chicago was not unique to him,
however. In the account of the Parliament published by its president John Henry Barrows,
applause was also freely given to the other speakers as part of the self-congratulatory spirit of
the Parliament. And Vivekananda did not just receive praise at the Parliament. Barrows
also noted that “very little approval was shown to some of the sentiments expressed” by
Vivekananda in his closing address.

some hostility. In a letter to one of his
American students in 1897, Swami
Vivekananda described himself as “a much
reviled preacher” in the United States.
