INTRODUCTION
Swamiji is the greatest and most remarkable philosopher sage and karma yogi one comes across in modern India, who sailed to the United States of America in 1893 to find means for the material development of the masses in his country
. He represented Hinduism at the Chicago Parliament of Religions and presented a new, refreshing outlook on religion and life in the light of Vedanta and Sri Ramakrishna’s life and teachings. Shilpayatana has been nurtured with Swami Vivekananda’s ideas to help build a bridge for the masses, especially in rural India, to connect to modern industry. Hundreds of youth who would otherwise have had no scope to go in for higher education have been trained by us in technical skills and are gainfully employed in various well-known industries.
