- On 20th September, 1893, he gave his 4th speech, he was not scheduled to speak that day but audience saw Vivekananda in the gallery and asked him to deliver a lecture, as one of the speaker was absent.
- He said:

"Christians must always be ready for good criticism, & I hardly think that you will mind if I make a little criticism.

You Christians,who are so fond of sending out missionaries to save soul of the heathen - why do you not try to save their bodies from starvation?

Shivaram Hari Rajguru

On the day of death - 23 March 1931:
1. Mehta (lawyer of Bhagat Singh) on meeting with Rajguru was taken aback by his relaxed & carefree attitude,even in the face of imminent death.

2. Everybody felt that Rajguru was nervous at the sight of imminent death.
3. Shiv Verma (one of his colleagues) asked him whether he was scared of death to which Rajguru said that “I am, like you, proud of what I have accomplished. I have come to realize this truth only after challenging death. If we are able to show even a glimpse.....

#Rajguru

a) that we should arrange to get out
b) that we should wait to be driven out,
In regard to (b) the loyalty of Indian Army is open to question; the INA have become National heroes..."

"I don't know how Mr Attlee suddenly agreed to give India Independence...
The national army that was raised by Subhas Chandra Bose...
The british had been ruling the country in the firm belief that whatever may happen Image
