Editing Swami Vivekananda (section)

==Back in India (1897–1899)==
Vivekananda arrived in [[Colombo]], [[British Ceylon]] (now [[Sri Lanka]]) on 15 January 1897,{{Sfn|Banhatti|1995|pp=33–34}} and received a warm welcome. In Colombo, he gave his [[s:The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 3/Lectures from Colombo to Almora/First Public Lecture in the East (Colombo)|first public speech in the East]]. He travelled from [[Colombo]] to [[Pamban]], [[Rameswaram]], [[Ramnad]], [[Madurai]], [[Kumbakonam]] and [[Madras]], delivering lectures. Common people and rajas gave him an enthusiastic reception. During his train travels, people often sat on the rails to force the train to stop, so they could hear him.{{Sfn|Banhatti|1995|pp=33–34}} From [[Madras]] (now Chennai), he continued his journey to Calcutta and [[Almora]]. While in the West, Vivekananda spoke about India's great spiritual heritage; in India, he repeatedly addressed social issues: uplifting the people, eliminating the [[Caste system in India|caste system]], promoting science and industrialisation, addressing widespread poverty, and ending colonial rule. The lectures, published as ''[[Lectures from Colombo to Almora]]'', demonstrated his fervent nationalism and spiritual ideology.{{Sfn|Bhuyan|2003|p=20}}

On 1 May 1897 in Calcutta, Vivekananda founded the [[Ramakrishna Mission]], an institution dedicated to social service, with ideals based on ''[[s:The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 1/Karma-Yoga|Karma Yoga]]''.{{Sfn|Thomas|1974|p=44}}{{Sfn|Miller|1995 |p=181}} Its governing body consists of the trustees of the [[Ramakrishna Math]] (which conducts religious work).{{Sfn|Banhatti|1995|pp=34–35}} Both Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission have their headquarters at [[Belur Math]].{{Sfn|Prabhananda|2003|p=234}}{{Sfn|Ganguly|2001|p=27}} Vivekananda founded two other monasteries: one in Mayavati in the [[Himalayas]] (near [[Almora]]), the ''[[Advaita Ashrama]]'' and another in [[Madras]] (now Chennai). Two journals were founded: ''[[Prabuddha Bharata]]'' in English and ''Udbhodan'' in Bengali.{{Sfn|Kraemer|1960|p=151}} That year, [[famine]]-relief work was begun by [[Swami Akhandananda]] in the [[Murshidabad]] district.{{Sfn|Prabhananda|2003|p=234}}{{Sfn|Banhatti|1995|pp=34–35}}

Vivekananda earlier inspired [[Jamsetji Tata]] to set up a research and educational institution when they travelled together from [[Yokohama]] to Chicago on Vivekananda's first visit to the West in 1893. Tata now asked him to head his [[IISc|Research Institute of Science]]; Vivekananda declined the offer, citing a conflict with his "spiritual interests".{{Sfn|Prabhananda|2003|p=235}}<ref>{{cite news|title=IISc looks to Belur for seeds of birth|last=Lulla|first=Anil Buddy |date=3 September 2007|newspaper=The Telegraph|access-date=6 May 2009|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070903/asp/nation/story_8268384.asp|archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20171020030412/https://www.telegraphindia.com/1070903/asp/nation/story_8268384.asp|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 October 2017}}</ref>{{Sfn|Kapur|2010|p=142}} He visited [[Punjab Province (British India)|Punjab]], attempting to mediate an ideological conflict between [[Arya Samaj]] (a reformist Hindu movement) and ''sanatan'' (orthodox Hindus).{{Sfn|Virajananda |2006|p=291}} After brief visits to [[Lahore]],{{Sfn|Banhatti|1995|pp=34–35}} [[Delhi]] and [[Khetri]], Vivekananda returned to Calcutta in January 1898.

Vivekananda composed "[[Khandana Bhava–Bandhana]]", a prayer song dedicated to Ramakrishna, in 1898.{{Sfn|Banhatti|1995|pp=35–36}}
