Did you know? "My dear brothers and sisters of America" -- these were the first words from #SwamiVivekanand, when he gave his seminal speech at the "Parliament of World Religions", in Chicago in 1893, which made the audience clap for two minutes, as they probably expected the familiar -- "ladies and gentlemen". The speech brought him overnight fame, but it was only on November 11, 1995, that a section of Michigan Avenue, one of the most prominent streets in Chicago was formally renamed "Swami Vivekananda Way".
