Swami Ramkrishna paramhansa contracted cancer. When he was being operated on for that disease, his disciples were standing around. They all were taking precautions..by covering their mouths and wearing aprons. After the operation, the doctor took all the cancerous part in a bottle.
Swami Vivekananda came in and was happy to know that operation was carried on successfully.When he asked doctor about the operation...doctor showed him that bottle having cancerous thing.
Vivekananda took it and gulped it down.
Doctors were very upset that he drunk that and were afraid he would get cancer and would have to be operated upon.Swami Vivekananda said " Don't be frightened, It may be a disease to you but to me it is a pure nectar! "
Vivekananda Didnt contract cancer ..that fluid proved to be a nectar for him!
The whole story of Vivekananda gulping cancerous stuff was apparently a creation of Vivekananda.
