In the year of eighteen ninety-three,

On a historic stage by the deep blue sea,

Swami Vivekananda spoke with grace,

At the World’s Parliament, in a sacred place.

“Sisters and Brothers of America,” he began,

A heartfelt greeting from a distant land,

With joy unspeakable in his noble heart,

He stood as a messenger, ready to impart.

From the ancient order of monks he came,

With a message of unity, not seeking fame,

He thanked them all, the diverse and the few,

In the name of religions, old and new.

His words, like a river, flowed so wise,

“Through different paths, all to Thee arise,”

A hymn he quoted from his early days,

A testament to unity in diverse ways.

This august assembly, a beacon of hope,

A declaration against the fanaticism’s slope,

Sectarianism and bigotry’s dark hour,

To rise above hatred, to unity empower.

The bell that tolled that morning so clear,

In honor of this convention, let it steer,

A course towards peace, a world less divided,

Where love and tolerance are forever provided.

Swami Vivekananda’s speech, a timeless call,

For unity, acceptance, to break down the wall,

In the name of all religions, he did stand,

A visionary message for our world, so grand.
