Various messages circulating on KZbin, WhatsApp and other social media sites claim to show the Real Voice of Swami Vivekananda during his Historic Chicago Speech on 11th September 1893. There are in fact quite a number of video and audio recordings claiming to show the same and the real voice of Swami Vivekananda, the Indian monk.
Ramakrishna Mission, the monastic order founded by Swami Vivekananda himself preserves his letters, photographs and other artefacts. According to the Ramakrishna Math, there are no audio or video clips of Swami Vivekananda which are found to be authentic. In fact, their research found no recordings in Chicago in September 1893 as technology did not allow it. They also point Mr. Barrows introduced Swami before his speech, not a woman as found in some of the fake recordings available on internet. Further, Ramakrishna Mission mentioned about some recordings of the Swami Vivekananda’s voice in India and abroad. Swami himself sent some of them to India. They are documented at the Mysore Palace in 1892 and at Ambala in 1897. But unfortunately, they say none of them is traceable today.
Therefore, the videos and audios claiming to show the real voice of Swami Vivekananda during his historic Chicago speech in 1893 are fake.
