and the struggles he had he had no credentials until the professor of harvard university gave him
the highest credentials here is a man more learned than all the professors of harvard put together
says a harvard professor just imagine that the dynamism of this man he was able to influence
one person by just one hour talk to give such credential that here is the person more learned
and all our professors put together see the see that i see the the comprehensive understanding and
uh you know depth of understanding of swami khan and how we can impress audiences so now we enter
the parliament religion so here he is now and you see what happens as i said in the last talk he
gave his first address he stood up and he uttered those five magic words at the parliament first in
the morning he was nervous to get on the stage he kept avoiding because he said these all these
other representatives of 10 religions have come with such lovely lovely well-written speeches
such ornamental speeches i have prepared nothing i'm an idiot he was kicking himself i'm in india
i haven't prepared anything and they come in such flowery language to represent their religions i
got nothing and then he said i took the name of saraswati he said oh mother sit at the
tip of my left inner tongue and let it flow and he stood up and came to the front and those five
magic words sisters and brothers of america have become immortalized but by sauhavi vagana
you may think is it just because he's using you know different vocabularies of saying
ladies and gentlemen you know the standard of the western kind of way of addressing audiences
he's using the word sisters oh what's this kind of that's the only reason no let me tell you what
actually happened the west had never seen a god man amongst themselves they've heard of
a god man they strongly adhere to the idea of christianity and christ as a god man but they
had never seen a godman amongst themselves here for the first time right in the heart of the they
he came in the middle of them and uttered these words and the words carried the power you see
whenever a person is talking about spirituality from experience the words carry tremendous power
doing what is recorded few thousand people look here is an unknown monk standing on the stage
for the first time just sing simple five words and there is no loud speaker by the way at that
time electric just been discovered he just has to shout to 5000 people 3000 people in the audience
and these words carried tremendous dynamism it made everybody stand up and start uploading
and i checked it up it's recorded they uploaded for two minutes now this is not minor test it out
when you go to any good talks when a very good speaker speaks and then then you actually time
yourself regarding how long people upload you'll be lucky to get five seconds two minutes it means
getting out of hand they're going mad and people who are sitting down is recorded we don't know
what happened but when this lad in this house when this lad opened his mouth something drew us made
us stand up and keep clapping without knowing why and the hindus have tried to analyze him
this is because sister and but there is nothing of the sword they have no idea the reason is
this what was hiding in this man in this spiritual personality was bursting forth the spirit that was
hiding behind this material frame was bursting forth and expressing itself showing itself
i am the god man and i'm standing in front of you i'm here for humanity not for this hindus humanity
i relate to all of you and that thing reached out and crafted them and made them stand up
and made him very famous in the message in the first speech and again you see this
is ironic this speech was given on 9 11 and 9 11 is becoming immortalized for other reasons
so this speech was given on 9 11 108 years ago before this 9 11 exactly 180 years ago
and he had already given a prescription he'd already given a warning now what is to come unless
this important idea which are sitting in within in the hindu tradition only in the hindu tradition
i'd like to insist on that it's only in the hindu tradition sometimes you like to score points for
your religion you've been meek and mild enough for long enough we need to somehow stand up this was
lying in the hindu tradition he just fished it out idea of pluralism there are many different ways of
making spiritual progress recognize and allow for it new dignity to humanity to unfold spiritually
in the way that it suits them don't impose your way onto others this was the speech and the thing
is immediately the audience you see the thing is this because it was coming from the heart it
was backed by spiritual experience he was talking about spiritual from experience that is tremendous
power it carried and immediately hit the target and that particular speech of course become very
famous and by the way there is one on the internet you might find somebody saying have you discovered
the speech of savior in the parliamentary that is not true i'm telling you there were no recordings
done in the parliament guaranteed and they speak they have you know plodding around saying this
is actually being introduced by a woman speaker there's no woman speaker women were sitting in the
sidelines there so this is definitely not swami vivekananda's voice but what happens i think the
1920s somebody did a recording for radio program where they tried to kind of copy swami we were
kind of speed so they had an actor but that was pretty good so his speech is pretty good so doing
the round things give me bye you discord so you can speak i said no my friend is an actor but i
am very pleased that you discovered it and you can listen to his nice the speech was that dramatic
only 10 minutes speech but it captured the heart of the elite of america it captured them you
