摘要：Swami Vivekananda, the spiritual leader of modern India and rejuvenator of Hinduism has tremendous achievements to his credit during his short span of life of 39 years. Though a monk and a spiritual personality, he was not a recluse but enlivened India’s religion and its national confidence which was at its lowest level after over a hundred years of colonial rule. . In all his speeches, writings and preachings he proclaimed the universalistic, tolerant and humanist philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. His message was basically spiritual and philosophical but it had deep practical social implications.
