And stop not till the goal is reached - Swami Vivekananda Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:01:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 http://www.uttishthata.org/2007/09/10/chicago-address/#comment-1373 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 05:30:21 +0000 http://www.uttishthata.org/2007/09/10/chicago-address/#comment-1373 I have worked extensively on Swamiji's voice. I have checked various sources including the Chicago Historical Society, Library of Congress etc. There is no recording of Swamiji's voice at that time - there are technological and other reasons for my saying so. Also Swamiji was NOT introduced by a lady as in the voice recording you refer to. The ovation lasted for minutes whereas this recording shows less than a minute. It Is Obviously NOT an original recording. I am glad you are saying in your note that this is not in Swamiji's voice. But the wrong impression is being conveyed by quoting this recording. I think it was a good idea to reproduce the speech text, but the voice - no. Nanjundiah I have worked extensively on Swamiji’s voice.
