Vivekananda wrote the poem on 4 July 1898 on the anniversary of the United States' independence.

In 1893 Vivekananda went to the United States to represent India and Hinduism in the Parliament of the World's Religions. After getting overwhelming success in the Parliament, from 1893 to 1897, he travelled through the United States and England, and gave a series of lectures on religion and Vedanta. He returned to India in 1897 and travelled extensively there between 1897 and 1899, visiting many states. In 1898 he went to Kashmir, where he stayed on a houseboat on Dal Lake. While travelling in Kashmir with some American and English disciples, Vivekananda wrote this poem on 4 July 1898, as a part of a celebration of the anniversary of the United States' independence and asked it be read aloud during that day's breakfast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.vivekananda.net/Biographical/JulyFourth.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ikashmir.net/chanderbhat/svpoems.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://vedantadc.org/to-the-fourth-of-july )〕
