The Monk
Ajit Singh's first meeting with Vivekananda has been described in detail in some later books. According to Mani Shankar Mukherjee's "The Monk As Man: The Unknown Life of Swami Vivekananda", on 4 June 1891, Ajit Singh woke up at 6:30 am. That evening he met Pratap Singh, king of Jodhpur and spent around half an hour with him. After that, he was informed that a monk has come to see him. Ajit Singh met the monk. Ajit Singh found that the monk was proficient in English, Bengali and Sanskrit languages. Ajit Singh and the monk discussed on a wide range of subjects. Then Ajit Singh asked the monk to dine with him. After dinner, around 11 pm at the night, the monk left the palace of Ajit Singh. The monk was Swami Vivekananda and this was the first meeting of Ajit Singh and Vivekananda.
