\"Swami<\/p>\n

Indian<\/a> Hindu<\/a> monk<\/a>, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna<\/a>. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math<\/a> and the Ramakrishna Mission<\/a>. He is perhaps best known for his speech which began, “Sisters and brothers of America\u00a0…,” in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago in 1893.<\/p>\n
