<P> This was Vivekananda's final address at the Parliament of World's religion . In his last speech he told that the Parliament had become an accomplished fact . He thanked the "noble souls" for organising the Parliament which he felt "proved to the world that holiness, purity and charity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world, and that every system has produced men and women of the most exalted character". He finished his speech with appeal "Help and not Fight," "Assimilation and not Destruction," "Harmony and Peace and not Dissension .". </P> <P> The lectures of Vivekananda shook America and the whole world . After the Parliament Vivekananda immediately became a hero in America . </P> <P> In 2012, a three - day world conference was organised by the Institute of World Religions (of the Washington Kali Temple), Burtonsville, Maryland, in association with the Council for A Parliament of World Religions, Chicago, Illinois to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Vivekananda . </P>
