ABSTRACT | ||
Swami Vivekananda is one of the creators of modern India. He was a karmayogi, a patriot, and a social reformer. His entire sense of nationalism was shaped by a combination of emotion, patriotism, and social progress. Sister Nivedita said about Swamiji that his whole heart was filled with an intense longing—an overwhelming concern for India and its people.
The idea of regarding human beings as divine already existed in the core of India’s ancient civilization. However, it was never fully realized or widely practiced. Due to the rigid caste-divided social structure, as well as the dominance of orthodoxy and narrow-mindedness in Bengal, this ideal could not be properly implemented. Vivekananda dedicated himself to accomplishing this mission and entrusted Sister Nivedita with this responsibility as well.
The great ideal of “serving humanity as service to God” was not merely spoken by him; he was the first to attempt its practical realization on an all-India level. In the conventional sense, Swamiji was not a social scientist; he was a spiritual ascetic. However, he was exceptional because, unlike most spiritualists, he was not indifferent to the material world and its practical needs. Rather, alongside spiritual upliftment, he was equally active in searching for ways to improve the material and social conditions of society.
His search primarily began with exploring comprehensive methods for the reform and transformation of contemporary Indian society. | ||
