In 1893 SWAMI Vivekananda (1863 1902),ayoung disciple of the celebrated Hindu avatar (manifestation of God) Sri Ramakrishna (1836 1886), spoke at the World sParliament of Religions in Chicago and won an enthusiastic American following with his genteel manner and eruditepresentation. Overthe next few years, he inaugurated the first Eastern religious movement in America: the Vedanta Societies ofvarious cities, independent of one another but under the spiritual leadership of the Ramakrishna Order in India. In 1920 a secondHindu missionary effort was launched in America when a comparably charismatic neo-Vedanta SWAMI , ParamahansaYogananda, was invited to speak at the International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston, sponsored by the UnitarianChurch.
