Celebrating the Timeless Legacy of Swami Vivekananda
"Echoes of Enlightenment" is a unique initiative designed to commemorate the 131st anniversary of Swami Vivekananda’s historic speech at the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago. His words, which echoed through time, continue to inspire millions around the world with their message of unity, tolerance, and spiritual strength.
Our Purpose
"Echoes of Enlightenment" is more than just a remembrance—it’s a movement. This event brings together people from all walks of life to reflect on the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and their relevance in today’s world. From students to professionals, from religious leaders to educators, we believe that Swami ji’s message of self-empowerment and universal harmony holds the key to addressing many of today’s challenges. It is an initiative under the aegis of Jambavanta Foundation.
