    His thirst for knowledge led him to read extensively, from science and philosophy to religion and spirituality.

    As he grew older, Narendra felt a pull towards spirituality. He travelled to Varanasi, a place of ancient wisdom and deep spirituality.

    There, he met many wise men and women, learned from them, and deepened his understanding of life and spirituality.

    Now known as Swami Vivekananda, he travelled to Chicago to share the wisdom of the East at the World's Parliament of Religions in 1893.
