Swami Vivekananda, a luminary in the world of ideas, sheds light on universal brotherhood and realisation within spirituality. His profound insights on timeless wisdom touch upon important issues such as social justice, inclusivity, and marginalised communities. Despite not using the term “subaltern” in his time, Vivekananda’s teachings surpass caste and creed barriers by advocating for educational empowerment. He envisions a spiritual democracy that recognises the inherent dignity of every individual and challenges societal norms. In addition to theory, Vivekananda emphasises putting spiritual principles into action and encourages acts of kindness and compassion as manifestations of inner divinity. Vivekananda’s progressive outlook also promotes women’s empowerment, economic self-sufficiency, and standing against social issues such as child marriage. His ideas on universal brotherhood and interfaith harmony have inspired subsequent social reform movements.
