A royal, magnificent person of commanding presence, great intellect and profound insight, Swami Vivekananda was only 30 years old when he made a sensation at the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893. Three and a half years later, when he returned to India, his birthplace, it was as a giant of strength, bravery, confidence, love and manliness the personification of the ideal of the ‘man-making and character-building’ school he preached. Swami Vivekananda was born Narendranath Datta on 12 January 1863 in Calcutta in a respectable middle-class family. During his early years he had remarkable mental talents which some people either misinterpreted or disregarded, but which others recognized and took as indications of an excellent person. Narendra's ability focus on concentrating his attention on one thing while disconnecting it from everything else was extraordinary. Sri Ramakrishna carefully mentored Narendra and a band of other young devoted followers, and the Master selected Narendra as the head of the group. Swami Vivekananda recommended ‘man-making and character-building education.
