The Nation was then at the cross-roads, as a result of the irresistible impact of the Western Civilization, and stood face to face with a severe crisis of 'identity'.

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), his chief disciple, preached his life-giving 'Message' throughout the world, and Sri Ramaknshna is now universally adored as the 'Prophet of the Harmony of Religions'.
