He was an influential disciple of Sri Ramakrishna and played a crucial role in introducing Hindu philosophy and spirituality to the western world. His famous speech at the Parliament of the World`s Religions in Chicago in 1893 brought Hinduism into the global spotlight and played a major role in the rejuvenation of Hinduism.
