Rare Pics Of Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda, the great soul of humanity was born at 6:33, a few minutes before sunrise, on Monday, January 12,1863. It was the day of the great Hindu festival Makarasamkranti, (Makara Sankranti) when special worship is offered to the Ganga by millions of devotees.

Swami Vivekananda stayed in this house for six weeks in 1900.

During his stay in Pasadena, Swami Vivekananda would picnic
in the hills behind the Vivekananda House


Swami Vivekananda (seated with turban) and actor Joseph Jefferson (standing with hat) pose with other guests at Green Acre, circa 1894. The programs at the Green Acre School included speakers from all over the world. The intent was to create dialog on religion, philosophy, the nature of the soul and world peace.

You can add some quotes like the following, from the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda:

Swami Vivekananda wrote to Ms. Christina Greenstidel, from Belur Math on the 2nd Sept. 1901:

"...Well now, Christina, send me one of your latest photos next mail, will you? I want to see how much of fat you have accumulated in one year. ...".
