Swami Vivekananda, also known as Narendranath Datta before becoming a monk, was

born in Kolkata on January 12, 1863, and died on July 4, 1902. The monk rose to

prominence after delivering a lecture at the World Parliament of Religions in

Chicago in 1893, during which he persuaded the western intellectuals to

recognize India's religious traditions.
