Mysuru: Retired Professor P.V. Nanjaraj Urs has clarified that Swami Vivekananda staying at the premises of NTM School on Narayana Shastri Road here during his (Vivekananda) visit to city is far from truth. The monk infact stayed at the residence of the then Dewan of Mysore Seshadri Iyer for which documents are available, he asserted.
Addressing a press meet at Pathrakartara Bhavan here on Friday, Nanjaraj Urs recalled that NTM School was the first School for girls established in 1881 by Vani Vilas Sannidana - Later in 1892 when Swami Vivekananda visited Mysore, the Monk stayed as the guest at Dewan Seshadri’s house and was also the guest of 10th Chamaraja Wadiyar. This has been clearly mentioned in the book ‘Swami Vivekananda Jeevan Charithre’ by Swami Somanathananda of Ramakrishna Ashrama, explained Urs.
