    5 / -1

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the passage and answer the following questions.

    Swami Vivekananda, a monk from India, journeyed to Chicago in 1893, marking a pivotal moment in spiritual history. His mission was to attend the Parliament of the World's Religions, an event that sought to create a global dialogue among various religious faiths. Unbeknownst to him, this voyage would not only introduce the teachings of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world but also lay the foundation for a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indian spirituality far beyond its borders.

    Upon his arrival in Chicago, Vivekananda encountered numerous challenges, including bureaucratic hurdles and financial constraints, which initially hindered his ability to participate in the Parliament. However, his determination and the fortuitous support of a few kind-hearted individuals ensured his attendance at the event. When he addressed the gathering with the words, "Sisters and Brothers of America," he received a standing ovation from thousands of attendees. The cause of his profound impact was his eloquent speech on religious tolerance and universal brotherhood, which resonated deeply with an audience unfamiliar with such inclusivity in spiritual discourse.

    The effect of Swami Vivekananda's participation in the Parliament was monumental. His teachings and philosophies gained a significant following in the US and Europe, bridging the cultural and spiritual divide between the East and the West. He established Vedanta Societies, fostering a deeper, cross-cultural exchange of spiritual ideas and practices. Vivekananda's journey to Chicago was not just a personal triumph but a historic event that sowed the seeds of Vedanta and Yoga in the fertile ground of the Western consciousness, enriching it with the profound wisdom of Indian spirituality. His legacy continues to influence seekers of spiritual truth around the world, proving the enduring power of his message of unity and peace.
