Sisters and Brothers of America

…5 words resulted in a round of applause that lasted for some minutes. Yes, I am talking about the 1893 Parliament of World’s Religions at Chicago. Swami Vivekanada, an Indian monk, was at the center of attraction of the session and millions of Americans were moved by his simple words “Sisters and Brothers of America.”

Today the Globe is celebrating the 144th Birthday of Swami Vivekananda. Let’s not miss the opportunity to offer our gratitude to one of the biggest personalities of the world, who taught us to worship humanism.
