A life-size statue of Swami Vivekananda was unveiled at the Consulate General of India in Chicago by India’s Ambassador to the US Vinay Mohan Kwatra. In a social media post, Mr. Kwatra said, he is proud to unveil a statue of Swami Vivekananda whose timeless message of service and universal harmony lives on in all of us. Vivekananda, a prominent philosopher-thinker who spread the teachings of Vedanta and Yoga across the world, is best known in the US for his landmark speech at the World’s Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893.
In April this year, the first-ever life-size bronze statue of Swami Vivekananda was unveiled in Seattle, in Washington state. The monument was the first installation of Swami Vivekananda to be hosted by a city government anywhere in the US.
