When Nikola Tesla encountered Swami Vivekananda he was introduced to Telsa concepts of Vedic, know what idea Tesla found?

Bizarrely—that is the best word to use in order to describe the meeting that happened in 1893 between two great minds, the Indian monk, Swami Vivekananda and Nikola Tesla – the inventor who was responsible for many visions that modern electricity is based on. This meeting clearly not only had an impact on Tesla’s energy and matter concepts but it also intertwined Western science with Eastern philosophies, an amalgamation of ideas that are worth pondering over to this day.

Nikola Tesla: The Man of Ideas

At countless occasions Tesla has been referred as the father of technology and we can definitely see that, with inventions relating to alternate current (AC), wireless transmissions, and many others that have become essential to the world we live in now. But there is a harsh reality that most people are unaware of, not only was Tesla viewed as an oddball but he was also unrewarded for his brilliance, which resulted him to die alone and unfed on in January 1943. After 80 years without any exposure, Telsa has re surfaced and with that his ideals wrought alongside with him, astounding even engineers to this day, enticing them to make him a reality.

What appears to be a surprise to many is that Tesla had a high respect for Eastern philosophy as well and spirituality. Especially during the time he crossed paths with Swami Vivekananda, wherein the two converged on a rather zealous topic that would suggest the ideal between science and Kosmology of Vedanta.

Swami Vivekananda Сonfers with Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla and Swami Vivekananda were contemporaries and never met each other during their lifetime. Swami Vivekananda popularized the eastern philosophy to the west in his 1893 Chicago address at the parliament of world religions meeting and in that he emphasized not just the idea of spiritualism but also the integration of philosophy with physics. He held the idea that concepts found in Vedic teachings, including Akasha (matter) and Prana (energy), could be construed as scientific tools for comprehending the cosmos.
