#171, You ought to have sent a brainier man anyway
Swami Vivekananda wrote to Ms. Mary Hale, from Darjeeling, on Apr. 28, 1897.
Rev. Dr. Barrows was second in command at the World Parliament of Religions. He played a significant role in recording all the praise for Swami Vivekananda at the Parliament.
BLOGGER'S VIEWs
*Was Swamiji brainier than Barrows?
*If there was no Swamiji's letter, would nobody receive Dr. Barrows?
*How can a queer person organise a World Parliament?
*Attributing madness to Dr. Barrows?
*What an arrogant Swami!
" ... Dr. Barrows has reached America by this time, I hope. Poor man! He came here to preach the most bigoted Christianity, with the usual result that nobody listened to him. Of course they received him very kindly; but it was my letter that did it. I could not put brains into him! Moreover, he seems to be a queer sort of man. I hear that he was mad at the national rejoicings over my coming home. You ought to have sent a brainier man anyway, for the Parliament of Religions has been made a farce of in the Hindu mind by Dr. Barrows. ..."
