Among the great philosophers of India, Swami Vivekananda occupies a uniquely distinguished place. As a pioneer of spiritual awakening, he grounded his thought primarily in Vedanta, especially Advaita Vedanta. The expression of his philosophy was not confined to liberation (moksha) or religion alone; rather, it was focused on the advancement of human life, society, and the nation. The Vedantic idea of the “purity of the soul” serves as a primary source for awakening the latent potential within human beings, inspiring them toward action, service, and a philosophy of humanity. This transformative saint truly embodied the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam the world as one family.
The most original aspect of Swami Vivekananda’s Vedanta-inspired thought is reflected in its practical orientation, which forms the foundation of his humanistic and action-centered philosophy. His Vedantic vision holds deep philosophical relevance in the contemporary world for addressing social inequality, moral crises, and cultural conflicts. The present research paper offers a creative, practical, and global reinterpretation of Advaita Vedanta and the central tradition of unity within diversity as reflected in Swami Vivekananda’s Vedantic thought.
An analysis of his role reveals that he played a significant part in imparting to Indian society the values of modernity, rationality, scientific temper, a universal outlook, humanism, and national consciousness values that remain highly relevant today for humanity, ethical life, and cultural harmony.
