Swami Vivekananda's Neo- Vedanta In Theory and Practice : A Critical Study

The present thesis is the outcome of my study of Swami Vivekananda life and works for years out of my deep and sincere love and respect to him.

Swami Vivekananda, the worthy disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, the great spiritual master, was a luminous star in the history of the Renaissance of Bengal in the 19th century. He was born in a critical age, when people needed him most to become inspired by the ideal of universal love, and the service of man as the service of God, irrespective of caste, creed and religion, by giving up blind faith and superstition, enmity and hatred. His contribution to the Neo-Vedantic movement in the modern age is immeasurable. His 'Practical Vedanta' is undoubtedly a new commentary in the line of the traditional Vedantic culture. He did not confine the Vedanta merely to its theoretical study, but applied it to his practical life. He had no faith in the mere theoretical Philosophy having no practical application in life.

In the present thesis, I have made a critical study of Swami Vivekananda Neo-Vedanta in theory and practice, and through it, I have tried to show its social relevance and importance in the present-day-world, lacking in morality and spirituality, love and friendship, giving rise to warfare and violation of peace.
