SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -- HIS LIFE AND LEGACY ... 2
The Dattas were an affluent family located in North Calcutta at 3, Gourmohan Mukherjee Lane in Simulia. Rammohan Datta, the ancient patriarch and great grandfather of Vivekananda, had built this palatial house and bequeathed it to posterity. Thereafter, his son, Durgacharan, after the birth of a son, took to sannyas (monastic life). The son, Vishwanath, grew up to be an attorney in the Calcutta High Court and gained eminence as a lawyer. He was married to Bhuvaneshwari Basu, the only daughter of Nandalal Basu, and had of her ten children the seventh of which was the first surviving male child, Narendranath, who grew up to be Vivekananda.
