The parliament of Religions opened on 11th
September 1983.The
hall was packed with nearly 7000 people, representing the best culture of the
country. Swamiji felt extremely nervous when his turn came, he mentally bowed
to Sarasvati, the goddess of learning, and then began his speech with the words
‘Sisters and Brothers’ of America. It had a powerful effect on them. He
emphasized that every soul is potentially divine, the fountain of knowledge is
in everyone of us, religion turns a brute into man and man into god, all these
thought together aimed for universal brotherhood.
