Swami Vivekananda Chicago Speech - Why we disagree

Vivekananda highlights the ignorance of those, who claim their religion as the BEST. It should always be 'ONE OF THE BEST' instead.
The one who finds fault with other religion, is ignorant of not only that religion, but his own. Because there are sufficient proofs in all religions from which people have reached the zenith in all fields, whether it is spirituality or social life or any field for that matter.
If there are any issues it should be with the people who follow it with misconceptions and not with the religion itself.
So my friends, stop abusing other religions, and try to follow your religion with faith, no matter whether it is your original or converted religion.
This segment is taken from an audio release, about the Life and Works of Swami Vivekananda.
Though it is not the actual voice of Vivekananda, we can feel the power of his thoughts on Hinduism, and his respect for other religions

i appreciate the effort, but if it is not swami vivekananda's voice, then why all the ambience and the voice of the introducing lady???

[ramnirmal]

It is just a kind of play depicting Vivekananda's life and this is the audio piece of it.

[ramnirmal]

No, its not his voice.

Swami vivekananda was a great yogi.. and listening to his english, I am nothing more than astonished... this is amazing stuff.. thanks for posting..

Such simple logic. The context amazes me - in the late 1800s, the US was willing to seek unity between diverse faiths. In 2008, we have intolerant repression that seeks to shut out any belief other than the prevalent loud voices.

Swami Vivekananda vision for an end to voilence and fanaticism is as timely and fitting now as it was then over a hundred years ago. I needed a speech for my 10 year old to narrate - what a learning experience for both of us.
