Swami Vivekananda
Indian Hindu monk and philosopher (1863-1902)

Swami Vivekananda, born Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk, philosopher and author. He was a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna.

He was a major force in the contemporary Hindu reform movements in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He is perhaps best known for his speech from the Parliament of Religions of 1893, which began with the words "Sisters and brothers of America ...," in which he introduced Hinduism to America. After the Parliament, while on his two speaking tours of the US, he founded the Vedanta Society of New York and the Vedanta Society of San Francisco, forming the foundation for Vedanta Societies in the throughout the US and the West.
