[ 2 ] (See more quotations in Wikiquote ) Signature Swami Vivekananda ( Shāmi Bibekānondo ( help · info ) ; pronounced: IPA: [ʃami bibekanonɖo] ) (12 January 1863–4 July 1902), born Narendra Nath Datta.( IPA: [nɔrend̪ro nat̪ʰ d̪ɔt̪t̪o] ), was an Indian Hindu monk. He was a key figure in the introduction of Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the western world and was credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion in the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India and contributed to the notion of nationalism in colonial India. [ 6 ] He was the chief disciple of the 19th century saint Ramakrishna and the founder of the Ramakrishna Math andthe Ramakrishna Mission . He is perhaps best known for his inspiring speech beginning with "Sisters and Brothers of America," through which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893. Born into an aristocratic Bengali Kayastha family of Calcutta , Swami Vivekananda showed an inclination towards spirituality and God realisation . His guru , Ramakrishna, taught him Advaita Vedanta (non-dualism); that all religions are true and that service to man was the most effective worship of God. After the death of his guru, Vivekananda became a wandering monk, extensively touring the Indian subcontinent and acquiring first-handknowledge of conditions in India. He later travelled to the United States and represented India as a delegate in the 1893 Parliament of World Religions. He conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in America, Englandand Europe. He established the Vedanta societies in America and England. In America Vivekananda became India's spiritual ambassador. His mission there was the interpretation of India's spiritual culture and heritage. He also tried to enrich the religious consciousness of Americans through the teachings of the Vedantaphilosophy. In India Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint of modern India and his birthday is celebrated as National Youth Day . In Swami Vivekananda's own words,he was "condensed India". William James , the Harvard philosopher, called Vivekananda the "paragon of Vedantists". Rabindranath Tagore 's suggestion (to Nobel Laureate Romain Rolland ) was– "If you want to know India, study Vivekananda. In him everything is positive and nothing negative."

Pregnancy . Pregnancy Classification and external resources A pregnant woman. ICD - 10 Z 33 ICD - 9 650 DiseasesDB 10545 MedlinePlus 002398 eMedicine article/259724 MeSH D011247 Pregnancy is the fertilization and development of one or more offspring, known as an embryo or fetus , in a woman's uterus . In a pregnancy, there can be multiple gestations , as in the case of twins or triplets . Childbirth usually occurs about 38 weeks after conception; in women who have a menstrual cycle length of four weeks, this is approximately 40 weeks from the start of the last normal menstrual period (LNMP). Human pregnancy is the most studied of all mammalian pregnancies . Conception can be achieved through sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technology . An embryo is the developing offspring during the first 8 weeks following conception, and subsequently the term fetus is used henceforth until birth. 40% ofpregnancies in the United States and United Kingdom are unplanned , and between a quarter and half of those unplanned pregnancies were unwanted pregnancies . Of those unintended pregnancies that occurred in the US, 60% of the women used birth control to some extent during the month pregnancy occurred. In many societies’ medical or legal definitions, human pregnancy is somewhat arbitrarily divided into three trimester periods, as a means to simplify reference to the different stages of prenatal development . The first trimester carries the highest riskof miscarriage (natural death of embryo or fetus). During the second trimester, the development of the fetus can be more easily monitored and diagnosed. The beginning of the third trimester often approximates the point of viability , or the ability ofthe fetus to survive, with or without medical help, outside of the uterus .
