Swami VivekanandBorn: 1863, CalcuttaDied: July 4, 1902During his short life Swami Vivekanand travelled India and the world tirelessly. His mission was to promote peace and tolerance based on the spiritual foundation of the Vedantic Oneness of existence. He lectured in America, Japan and Europe. He wrote books, composed poetry and guided those who came to him for instruction. He founded the Ramakrishna Order of monks, still an important religious organisation in India. "The Christian is not to become a Hindu or a Buddhist, nor a Hindu or a Buddhist to become a Christian. Each must assimilate the spirit of other religions and yet preserve their own individuality and follow their own law of growth."
