During my lecture series in Sarada Math, i met many women, girls who would come and talk to me. Initially i would ask them their names and always thought i would remember.....but....it never happened. Gradually i realised what had happened - as i was constantly reading New Discoveries, my brain was full of only Sarahs, Ellens, Johns and James etc. Just couldn't remember the Indian names. Of course now i think am back to normal but still those names seem more familiar.
Coming back to Saratoga Springs, in 'Saratogian', a local newspaper was an advertisement which said - ' the excellent Chicago train service on the Delaware and Hudson Railroad...$26.00 round trip.' According to Marie L Burke, if Swamiji had taken advantage of this then he might have reached Chicago on either Friday, 8th Sept. or Saturday, 9th September.
Before reaching Chicago again, during the 3 weeks, Swamiji had given almost 11 lectures at Boston, Salem and Saratoga Springs. He had come across the cross section of America by meeting the women at Ramabai circle, the clergy at church talks, the prison inmates, the women at club and the children. He had also received respect of some great thinkers and there wouldn't have been a better preparation for Swamiji than this.
On 30th Aug. He had written to Professor Wright inquiring about the admission to Parliament of Religions and on 2 Sept. he wrote again to thank him because Swamiji received a letter from the organizers.
Tomorrow and day after am going to visit Javhar where we had distributed solar lamps and hence won't be able to write.
So let's meet directly on 'Universal Brotherhood Day'.
