Vivekananda’s speeches at the World’s Parliament of Religions in 1893 continue to be quoted and studied. He established the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, including locations in San Francisco and New York City, and the organization now includes more than 200 centers across more than 20 countries outside India. His birthday is celebrated as National Youth Day in India. On an island near Kanyakumari, just off the southernmost part of mainland India, the Vivekananda Rock Memorial marks an important spot where he meditated prior to embarking to Chicago.
