Swami Vivekananda the Indian sage and thinker traveled all over the world and stunned the American and European intelligentsia with his fiery speech on Indian religious heritage and philosophy at Chicago. At Kanyakumari Vivekananda sat on a rock in the middle of the sea currently known as the Vivekananda Rock on 25th, 26th and 27th December 1892, and meditated. Vivekananda swam across through the turbulent to reach the rock, where the Vivekananda Memorial stands today.
