Explanation
The correct answer is Swami Vivekanand. After his historic visit to the West where he attended the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893, Swami Vivekanand returned to India in 1897. He landed in Colombo and traveled across the country towards the north, finally reaching Almora. During this journey, he delivered a series of powerful speeches aimed at national awakening and spiritual rejuvenation. These speeches and lectures were later compiled and published in the book titled Lectures from Colombo to Almora. The book serves as a significant record of his vision for a modern India based on the foundations of Vedantic philosophy.
