It was in 1897 at Victoria Hall, after returning from the United States, Swami Vivekananda delivered his famous speech titled ‘My Plan of Campaign’ that is available in Swamiji’s Book ‘Lectures from Colombo to Almora’ published by Advaita Ashram, Mayawati. This inspiring book consists of various thoughtful letters and lectures of Swami Vivekananda that continue to hold significance in the modern day.
Out of many, this particular lecture was delivered by the prophetic saint after he had returned from the World Religious Parliament in Chicago in 1893. His thoughts have been quite influential in shaping India’s national thinking since the time of the struggle for independence.
This lecture portrays an iconic view on the sustainable development of any society and nation as a whole. Through the analysis of this lecture, we can explore how his ideas can lead to formation of sustainable laws for all, specifically for the unrepresented and discriminated sections of society.
