May 1 :
May 1, 1897 : Swami Vivekananda establishes Sri Ramakrishna Mission in
Calcutta. - The beginning of the organised work in India - Its Motto :
Atmano Mokshartham Jagad Hitaya cha... For once own liberation and the
good of the world.
May 1, 1894 : Letter to Isabelle : I am all
right getting food . . . and money enough. Hope very soon to put
something in the bank after the coming lecture.
In the evening I am going to speak in a vegetarian dinner! Well, I am
a vegetarian, because I prefer it when I can get it. I have
another invitation to lunch with Lyman Abbott day after tomorrow. After
all, I am having very nice time and hope to have very nice time in
Boston — only that nasty nasty lecturing — disgusting. However as soon
as 19th is over — one leap from Boston to Chicago and then I
will have a long long breath and rest, rest for two three weeks. I will
simply sit down and talk — talk and smoke.
