Writer's picture: Lalit KishoreLalit Kishore

Swami Vivekananda’s (1863-1902) Vedanta philosophy is based on realism and his birth anniversary, January 12, is observed as National Youth Day in India.


He is being projected as youth icon in India since he died young, yet was able to create a positive image about Vedic philosophy globally.


His speech on Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893 is considered as a landmark discourse on Indian philosophy that ‘all living beings were an embodiment of the same divine self.’


Swami Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission to propagate Vedanta philosophy.


Swami Vivekananda’ Vedanta philosophy said as ABC verse


A: Attaining inner purity for self-actualization

B: Being and becoming be united for realism

C: Controlling mind and developing concentrate with faith in one's divinity

D: Doing good to others by seeing same soul in them is true religion

E: Education has to be positive for both self-knowledge and worldly knowledge
