This paper examines Swami Vivekananda’s landmark 1893 speech at the World’s Parliament of Religions in Chicago as the conceptual foundation for his educational philosophy. While the speech is often analyzed through a theological lens, this study argues that its core tenets universal brotherhood, the inherent divinity of the soul, and the rejection of sectarianism formed the blueprint for what Vivekananda termed "Man-making education. The present researcher wants to investigate the educational implications of Chicago lecture of Swami Vivekananda. To fulfill this intention the present researcher has taken this topic: “Swami Vivekananda's Chicago speech and its educational implications”.
