Swami Vivekananda's appearance at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in September 1893; his subsequent exposition of Vedanta in the West; his return to India and triumphal march throughout the country; unprecedented enthusiasm for welcoming the 'Conquering Hero'; his inspired speeches, which became the gospel of life and liberty to the subjugated Indians-all these are a part of history To preserve first-hand reports of these events for future generations, Sankari Prasad Basu painstakingly searched through old newspapers and journals of the time and collected huge amounts of materials. Both Indian and Anglo-Indian dailies, as well as Christian, Brahmo, Theosophist, Buddhist and Social Reform journals have been covered. The materials he has collected are being published in several volumes by Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture and will contain news about Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna and his disciples, Sister Nivedita and also the Ramakrishna Mission. Each volume will also contain an exhaustive Introduction, Index and detailed contents. The towering personality of Swami Vivekananda that emerges from these pages will inspire people for ages to come.
