the speech is awe inspiring hence 99% chances are that we heard Swamiji. I opened the Collectedworks of Swamiji and compared the speech. I found about 3 paragraphs missing in between.Now how did that happen? Emile Berliner started marketing his disc records in 1889. These records were five inches in diameter, and offered only in Europe. In 1892 he incorporated the United States Gramophone Company in Washington D.C.. This company offered the first disc records (now seven inches in diameter and no longer intended as a toy) in November 1894 on the Berliner Gramophone label. After various mergers, divisions, lawsuits, and injunctions, this company was to give rise to the Victor Talking Machine Company in the United States in late 1900. In 1929, Victor was purchased by RCA. So only United States Gramophone Company can correctly say whether they recorded the Parliament of Religion speeches.

I am thrilled. I am emotioned after hearing the voice. I never had thought of it – that the Great Saints voice was recorded and available to all. I have no words of express. Simply MUM. I am very greatful and thankful for the person who brings to the common man. Whatever the origion of this audio, it is clear and perfect in sound.

Onceagain thanks to Giridhar

I was so thrilled when I heard this speach in his ‘OWN VOICE’. However I went to the R.K. Mission to reconfirm the same, they just passed it off as not being his voice but just a dubbed voice. I was quite dissapointed. But am really keen to trace it back to the source. So if anyone of you is able to do so keep us posted.

Maneck, I don’t think anyone knows the true source of this more than 100 years old recording, but I assume it’s spread on the internet who must have had access to it through a source such as Congress Library or the likes of it.

If you do a search online, you will find a few links with the same recording.
