Is he a Buddhist? Is he a Mohammedan? What is his mission? Such are the questions that are heard on all sides about Mr. Vive­kananda who speaks here Saturday evening. Following is something from a Chicago source that bears on this question:

Vivekananda is a representative from In­dia to the World’s Parliament of Religions. He, more than any other of the eminent scholars, has attracted universal attention, first, by his unique attire in Mandarin color; second, by his magnetic presence; and last, but not least, by his brilliant oratory and wonderful exposition of Hindu philosophy.

Vivekananda is not a Brahmin, is not a Buddhist, is not a Parsee, is not a Moham­medan. He may be said to represent the best in all of these. He speaks for universal truth or the unification of all truth. At all times his appearance at the Memorial Art Palace has been attended by the greatest enthusi­asm. Indeed, his stay in Chicago has been a continual ovation. He is a scholar among scholars, yet simple in his life and earnest in conquering all limitations of the flesh, all propensities born of the sense world.

The “Chicago source” hit the nail right on the head when it said, among other things, that Swamiji repre­sented the best in all these religions. This only goes to show how deep an impression Swamiji carved into his Chicago audience.

The Mission is providing Food, Sanitation, Clothing and Medical facilities to the flood victims . There were more than 500,000 people displaced / Livelihood affected / housing affected in Batticaloa. Rs.5 million has been already spent.

Rs. 28 million has been spent for providing food, clothing, medicine, and education of the war refugees. Rehabilitation work is progressing in the form of providing educational equipment, nutritional food, vocational training, etc in Vanni and other areas.

In the wake of the devastating Tsunami in the Indian Ocean, the Ramakrishna Mission started, from the very first day of the calamity, massive relief and rehabilitation operations for thousands of affected people in the Island. Several thousands of victims were served with water, cooked food, dry food, clothing, medical aids, mats, mosquito nets, kitchen utensils, exercise books, study materials, uniforms, shoes, bags, boats & fishing nets, sewing machines, etc. to the tune of Rs. 17 million. The children were provided with the services of counselors to cope up with the traumatic experiences.
