    "name": "Swami Vivekananda (Narendranath Datta)",
    "shortInfo": "Born as Narendranath Datta on January 12, 1863, in Calcutta, India, Swami Vivekananda was a Hindu monk, philosopher, author, and religious teacher. He was the chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Vivekananda is a pivotal figure in the history of Indian spiritualism and is credited with introducing the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world. He represented India at the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago, where his speech beginning with \"Sisters and brothers of America\" earned him a standing ovation. Beyond his spiritual mission, he was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. He founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He passed away on July 4, 1902, while meditating. His birthday is celebrated as National Youth Day in India.",

Known for his liberal and progressive outlook, he was well-versed in English and Persian literature and had a deep love for music and poetry. Vishwanath provided his children, including Narendranath (Vivekananda), with a rationalistic and modern education. His generosity was well-known, often extending financial help to distant relatives and the poor, which later impacted the family's finances. He died suddenly in 1884, leaving the family in a precarious financial situation.",
