He quried every one he came across, as to whether they have seen the god.Ultimately Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, who later became his spiritual teacher sid that , he has already seen and spoke.Ay this instance, Narendra demanded him to show the god to him too. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa placed his hand on the top of the head of Narendra, immediately he fainted and fell down.Because the experience had been unbearable at that time. from then onwards he bacame the student of Ramakrishna. After Ramakrishna left his body , Vivekananda got a chance to go to the Inter eligious conference held in Chicago, USA .
