Swami Vivekananda: Western science, plus Hindu spirituality

Swami Vivekananda (January 12, 1863): from agnostic to philosopher (Jnani) and finally to devotee (Bhakti) under the influence of his Guru Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.

If there is something in the Bhagavad Gita that I am passionate about, the authentic essence of the teaching of Sri Krishna- Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda, one of the greatest philosophers in the history of humanity, known in his pre-monastic life as Narendra Nath Datta (Childhood-death of Ramakrishna), was born in Kolkata (India) on January 12, 1863. A boy Precocious and born with a yogic temperament, he used to practice meditation even from his childhood. At university he studied philosophy and Western history.

As a young man he was practically an atheist, and they told him about Sri Ramakrishna, he went to visit him and asked him:

Sri Ramakrishna who sheds tears for God? Swami Vivekananda
Sri Sarada Devi, Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, M. Gupta

Upon Ramakrishna's death he became the leader of the Ramakrishna movement (Cape Comorin). At the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago they considered him the “messenger of Indian wisdom to the Western world.”

In his many speeches, books and essays he always referred to the fact that the model based on Western science plus Hindu spirituality was the most suitable for the world.

Swami Vivekananda is considered to have been the introducer of the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga, Vedanta and even the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in the West: mainly through his travels to the United States and England (London).

In the United States he founded the New York Vedanta Society currently headed by Swami Sarvapriyananda.
