Rajaram Ramachandran - ##42 (Vivekananda) The Public Opinion

The young Vivekananda, br The unknown monk of India, br Suddenly became a popular br Religious man the World over. br br In the Chicago streets, br His life-size portraits, br Attracted many passers-by br Who stopped close-by. br br With all due reverence, br They bowed their heads br In front of the portrait, br And paid their respect. br br What he meant by Vedas, br Was those spiritual laws br Discovered by many seers br During various periods br br Even before they found, br Those laws really existed; br Seers discovered them br From time to time. br br “The law of gravitation, br Was it a new invention? br No, it did exist before br And will exist thereafter.” br br This example he quoted, br For the spiritual world, br That had its own laws, br Those found later by seers. br br The Chairman of Parliament br Dr J.H. Barrows, in his statement br Appreciated Swamiji’s influence br O’er the entire audience. br br One Newspaper flashed, br “After hearing him, to send br Missionaries to this learned nation br Will be a foolish action.” br br In the Parliament of Religion, br He was a center of attraction. br To make the audience sit, br His speech was kept last. br br They all waited for hours br There to hear his words br Eagerly, as a special case, br Just for fifteen minutes br br The son of the Indian Nation br Earned such a glorification, br The whole country felt proud br When, the news, Indians heard.
