Vivekananda: Liberating humanity from ignorance

Swami Vivekananda's Vision: Liberation from darkness through knowledge (Sri Ramakrishna, Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta)

Realization of the Bhagavad Gita Course

Vision of Swami Vivekananda

Reflection by Pedro Nonell.

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), Swamiji, was a Hindu monk and main disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, in his youth he had been an atheist. He was a key figure in the introduction of Vedanta, the Bhagavad Gita and Raja Yoga (Yoga philosophy) to the West (Parliament of Religions of Chicago), the renewal of Hinduism, as well as the development of the idea of ​​nationalism in colonial India.

We could summarize Swami Vivekananda's vision in three points:

1. Liberate humanity from ignorance
   1. How? through Knowledge (Jnana)
   2. What knowledge? basically the Bhagavad Gita, the Teachings of Sri Ramakrishna and Vedanta
2. Spread a brotherly feeling among the different religions and nations of the world (Principle of Harmony between religions of Sri Ramakrishna
3. Western science plus Eastern spirituality

Vivekananda: Liberar a la humanidad de la ignorancia Vivekananda: libertar a humanidade da ignorância.

India: spiritual power of the world

The Swami's desire was the liberation of humanity from ignorance and the promotion of a fraternal sentiment among the different religions and nations of the world as well as combining Western science with Eastern spirituality for the good of humanity.

1. Did you know the figure of Swami Vivekananda?
2. Did you know that he was the first to introduce the Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta and Raja Yoga to the West?
3. Did you know that many other Swamis later followed his path in the West?
4. Did you know that he rescued Yoga Sutras of Patanjali from history?

Thank you very much Swamiji
