The Sublime Nature of Socio-Religious String: An Understanding through the Lens of Swami Vivekananda

Authors(1) :-Lipika Roy

Dealing with Swami Vivekananda's ideas, the sublime string of society and religion can be traced easily in his lectures and writings. Focusing on this sublime string, Vivekananda advocated for the betterment of society through spiritual upliftment with the help of his famous concept- ‘Practical Vedanta’ which is a highly religionized form of an ancient Indian philosophical tradition named ‘Advaita Vedanta’. While there are a lot of writings and books addressing the ideas and approaches of the religion and others preached by Swami Vivekananda, none of the works identify and indicate particularly about the sublime nature of society and religion that he upheld. This article offers to fill the research gap and focus on the sublime nature of socio-religious string in his teachings. In this article, the qualitative method will be applied to understand and sometimes denote his concepts regarding the topic to clarify his universalistic approach to religion, which is the tool of emancipation and salvation both.
