Swami Vivekananda - London Photo series

Eric Hammond in his reminiscences of Swamiji in London describes his appearance while lecturing: It was a novel sight, a memorable experience. His dark skin, his deep glowing eyes, even his costume, attracted and fascinated. Above all, eloquence acclaimed him, the eloquence of inspiration.41 ❊ ❊ ❊ The earth’s bravest and best will have to sacrifice themselves for the good of many, for the welfare of all. Buddhas by the hundred are necessary with eternal love and pity. . . . The world is in need of those whose life is one burning love, selfless. That love will make every word tell like thunderbolt. (Letters, 295)
