Critical Appraisal of Asharamji Bapu Critical Appraisal of Asharamji Bapu | Page 12

Pujya Bapuji successfully represented India in the ‘World’s
Religions Parliament’ held in September 1993 AD. Exactly
100 years after Swami Vivekananda.
Parliament of World's Religions was organized at Chicago in the first
week of September 1993, which was attended by more than 600
speakers from all over the world. Bapuji had been invited as the chief
speaker from India. His discourses were held from 1st through 4th
September 1993.
While other orators were given less time, people listened to Pujya Bapuji with rapt attention for 55 minutes on
one occasion and 75 minutes on the other. In Bapuji’s satsang, one finds an excellent synthesis of the knowledge
imparted by Rishis with modern life and a harmonious blend relevant to present-day society. He was the only
Indian personage in the Parliament of World Religions, who had the opportunity of addressing the listeners
thrice.
