Read the passage and answer the following questions.

Swami Vivekananda is one of the greatest monks of India and the founder of Ramakrishna Mission. He is considered an important figure in introducing Yoga and Vedanta in America and Europe and in bringing Hinduism to the status of a world religion towards the end of the 19^th Century.

Vivekananda was born as Narendranath Dutta to Visvanath Dutta and Bhubaneshwari Devi on 12 January 1863 in Kolkata. He completed his primary education from Sri Eswar Chandra Vidya Sagar. He completed his secondary education of three years in just one year and graduated with distinction. He joined college at the age of 16 years and studied philosophy and logic. In 1880 Vivekananda joined the Arts faculty of Presidency College and studied English, Mathematics, History, Psychology, Philosophy and Logic for his graduation. He had a good voice and had a keen interest in music and drawing. He was bold and good looking as well. His mastery over the English language helped him to be an eloquent orator.

Since childhood, Vivekananda was inclined towards spiritualism. He went to Dakshineswar Kali temple to meet Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa to find out whether God really existed or not. Once, Naren, as he was popularly known, sang some devotional songs at the request of Sri Ramakrishna. The saint, on hearing his songs, went into trance where he was able to meet god. Vivekananda was greatly inspired by Sri Ramakrishna and became his follower. After the demise of his father, Vivekananda took up a teacher's job to support his family. Sri Ramakrishna continued to be in touch with Vivekananda and endowed him with all his spiritual powers and made him his successor. Vivekananda became a 'Sanyasi' (monk) and took up the name 'Swami Vivekananda'.

With the financial help from Maharaja of Khetri he attended the World Parliament of Religions in 1893 in Chicago to make the West realise the greatness of Hindu religion. He began his address with the words "My dear Sisters and Brothers of America". This delighted the audience, as this greeting reflected the spirit of universal brotherhood. He took several religious tours to America and Europe. It was during this period that Margaret, a young lady, became his disciple and later came to be known as Sister Nivedita. Swami Vivekananda died while meditating at the Ramakrishna Math in Belur, on 4 July 1902. He left behind an immortal legacy for the youth of India.
