25 March :
25 Mar 1894 : Newspaper Report: "The women of India" and Detroit Critic
25 Mar 1896 : Lecture: "The Vedanta Philosophy" (before the graduate
students of the philosophy department) at Harvard University, Boston
Newspaper Report: "Swami Vivekananda in America" Spoke at Harvard for the second time in the evening.
25 Mar 1900 : Lecture: Mohammed's Message to the World (Excerpts from Ida Ansell's transcript) - This is the peculiarity of civilization. One wave of a race will go from its birthplace to a distant land and make a wonderful civilization. The rest will be left in barbarism. The Hindus came into India and the tribes of Central Asia were left in barbarism. Others came to Asia Minor and Europe. Then, you remember the coming out of Egypt of the Israelites. Their home was the Arabian desert. Out of that springs a new work. . . . All civilizations grow that way. A certain race becomes civilized. Then comes a nomad race. Nomads are always ready to fight. They come and conquer a race. They bring better blood, stronger physiques. They take up the mind of the conquered race and add that to their body and push civilization still further. One race becomes cultured and civilized until the body is worn out. Then like a whirlwind comes a race strong in the physical, and they take up the arts and the sciences and the mind, and push civilization further. This must be. Otherwise the world would not be.
Letter: Sister Nivedita - We put all our energies to concentrate and get attached to one thing; but the other part, though equally difficult, we seldom pay any attention to — the faculty of detaching ourselves at a moment's notice from anything.

Both attachment and detachment perfectly developed make a man great and happy.
