Parliament of the World's Religions
"Swami Vivekananda, an Indian Hindu monk, represented Ancient Indian Religious Thought & Philosophy (Hinduism) as a delegate, introducing Hinduism at the opening session of the Parliament on 11 September. Though initially nervous, he bowed to the goddess Saraswati mentally, then began his speech with salutation, "Sisters and brothers of America!". To these words he got a standing ovation from a crowd of thousands, which lasted for two minutes. When silence was restored he continued his address: "I thank you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions; and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects."[12][13][14][15][16]"
